Song for Alpha

For his highly anticipated sophomore album, the British electronic producer shifts away from the acidic club bangers of his debut toward deeply atmospheric, cerebral techno. The record heavily mirrors the icy, sprawling soundscapes of classic 1990s IDM and ambient music, utilizing incredibly patient, slow-building synthesizer arpeggios and muffled kick drums. It firmly established him as a highly sophisticated architect of cerebral, late-night dance music.
