Top stuff!
Working at the intersection of techno and trance, Alpha Tracks' debut for KNTXT is a mesmerising work. "New Forgiveness" features dreamy melodies and high-pitched vocals set to a pulsating groove. Acid tones and tough kicks lend it extra weight, ensuring that it achieves the rare feat of sounding both catchy and club friendly. "Secrets" focuses on a darker approach. While it also features the human voice, this time it's chilling wails combined with a cacophony of dramatic, 303-led builds. "Collect the Sun" sees Alpha Tracks conjure up a spine-tingling melody that's redolent of vintage trance from Eye Q. Meanwhile, "Insomnia" showcases the Austrian producer's songwriting skills, as angelic vocals are combined with autumnal tones, making for a beautiful slice of ethereal pop.
We have a killer trio on display with this latest drop on Pressure Point as Dubplate Pressure, Jay Ward, and Jake Reese team up for 'Pressurized Beats Vol 2. First up, two back to back rollers from Dubplate Pressure as the warbling LFO slides of 'Future State' lead into the more rave-ready bass bumps of 'Undercurrent', kicking us off in style. From here, Jay Ward takes the reigns on his 'Bump' mix of 'Tekinikal', a crispy skip through tidy vocal chops and sumptuous subs, before 'The Release' from Jake Reese gives us a rave-inspired closer, doused into nostalgic synth shimmers to see us out in style.
