Alex BI saw this guy open for Jamie Lidell way back in July and don't know why it has taken me so long to write about him. He hails from Colorado and has recently produced a mix titled 'Brain Food' for Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder record label. Listening and watching this man perform you can definitely pick up on his attention to detail and love for the music he is producing, which is evident in the layering of his tracks and the way he moves when he is creating them.
With obvious influences including Flying Lotus and Jay Dilla, Alex B has put together his debut album titled 'Moments' (released in April) and according to his website: "The tracks on Moments are intricately crafted with painstaking care and attention to detail — a careful mix of analog and digital sounds elevated by imaginative samples and the insight of a classically trained musician. The result is a blend of timeless warmth and future beats that is as easily adaptable to introspective time with one’s headphones as it is to group mania on a mobbed dance floor."
I would have to agree. Here is one of the tracks off the 'Moments' CD... Enjoy
