Alex Smoke - Lux+
Description
Minimal melancholy permeates the music of this young Scot.
Hailing from Glasgow, Alex Smoke lives up to the images his name
conveys- that of gloom and poignancy. Windscreen wipers of washed sound.
He released his first solo album, Incommunicado, in March 2005 on the
Soma Records label to critical acclaim, after taking him 4 years to put
together. His evocative style was well suited to creating heightened
emotional moods which spanend minimal techno, grime and electronica. He
even performs the vocals on political track “Don’t See The Point”.
Incommunicado was followed by
Paradolia in April 2006. Filled with mournful melodies, meandering sound
effects and the occasional sombre vocal, Smoke is in top form
production wise. His rapid rise amongst the techno ranks has led to him
being in high demand across Europe
