Alien Levi - Phase IV [Music For Ants]

Ants are known for their ability to punch well above their weight. Hence, for those who have followed the evolution of Alien Levi through his releases on DISfish records and beyond - given the album's subtitle - it may not come as a surprise that he has set new standards once more with his new album.

But this time there's even more: Phase IV is a 3D sonic journey that guides you deep inside the musical soul of the German dub craftsman, who has created a sonic blend that one would normally expect from a master whisky blender: 70s electronics, 80s industrial with a hint of synth-pop, 90s big beat with the odd techno note. All drenched in a 21st Century sauce with hints of deep sub bass, haunting noises and dub echoes.

The end result is jaw dropping to say the least. For the whisky lovers among us: think Chivas Regal 21yrs Royal Salute.

There's no way to file this really, but no worries: just create a new section: ALIEN.
