ALEX – NEW CLOTHING LINE

ALEX has been on point as of late, positively refusing to take a pause. From the collaborative release of pitch-black album, Akuma, with Tokyo Rose, to his fresh, gorgeous music video for ‘Rebel of the Night’, ALEX is continually on the move. Now the artist is branching out further to the fields of fashion with a new clothing brand, designed around the beautiful album art from ALEX’s past and future releases.

The line has kicked off with the bold ‘X’ logo tee, and the ‘Youth’ EP tee:

ALEX has confirmed the release of the ‘X’ EP, due out on the 25th of December, with a physical release planned. The artist is also set to appear as part of Scotland’s new-born synthwave festival ‘Tech-Noir’ at Audio Glasgow, alongside the likes of The Van Dammage, DEADLIFE, Electric Dragon, and more. Have no fear, there’s plenty more in store from the up-and-coming artist, on every front.

ALEX – NEW ALBUM ‘AKUMA’

ALEX is an artist who is ultimately doing his own thing. A highly particular and versatile artist forging his way through the Synthwave scene, dedicated to the sounds and styles of the 80s, ALEX has demonstrated enormous growth and ambition over the handful of releases he has gifted us with so far. From the dark, dangerous start with the ‘Blood Club’ EP to the more recent Drive inspired EP, ‘Youth’, and weighty instrumental darkwave album ‘Extinct’, it’s clear ALEX is out to shake off preconceptions about genre.

Listen to ALEX here

Youth EP | Extinct | Blood Club EP

Originating from Edinburgh Scotland, ALEX is a Scottish born electronic music producer, composer and DJ. After spreading his sound to every channel and label possible, ALEX broke through in the most significant way possible. If you get the attention of NewRetroWave in the Synthwave scene, you’re doing something right, and ALEX’s unique approach to composition and production led to his debut release with NRW, the ‘Blood Club’ EP.

And things haven’t slowed for the young producer, with two more EP’s and an album since his debut, each showing another side to the artist. After the release of his Drive inspired EP ‘Youth’, fans of the powerful vocal tracks ‘Rebel of the Night’ and ‘Youth’ can get excited for the pair of major budget music videos ALEX has in store, with filming having taken place in Russia and New York City.

ALEX grew up listening to the likes of Daft Punk, Justice, Underworld, Chromatics, Deadmau5, absorbing the sounds of Disco, House, Hip-Hop, and Rock, cherry picking his favourite elements to blend into the new retro haze of his own material. He also cites film composers, such as Disasterpiece, John Carpenter, Vangelis, Johan Johansson, and John Williams (see his recent, ‘Jurassic Park’ inspired album, ‘Extinct’). ALEX mentions further influences such as ‘College’ and ‘Electric Youth’, that inspired his recent ‘Youth’ EP.

The future seems bright for ALEX, with the release of his new darkwave album, ‘Akuma’, featuring collaborations with Hayley Stewart and Rachel Mcalpine, as well as Synthwave heavyweight Tokyo Rose:

Preorder Akuma, and check out the first track, here.

We can also be expecting a follow up to ‘Youth’, and an exclusive remix of Akuma for news outlet VICE / Thump are in talks as well, according to the artist.

If there’s something we can’t stress enough, it’s that whether you’re a long time retro fan or new to the scene, ALEX is something special, providing a particular combination of the past and the future that is unmistakable. Keep an eye on this one, big things are in store.
