Artist two: Alex Downey

After hearing Alex play out at @ornate-music’s Quadra EP Release Party alongside @milesatmospheric and James Thomson In February 2020 just before the lockdown we were hooked. (https://soundcloud.com/alex-downey/alex-downey-live-at-the-quadra-ep-release-party-2020-02-08) We also caught Alex as a guest on Real Techno’s Wicked Wednesday more recently and were equally impressed. ( https://www.mixcloud.com/Real_Techno/real-techno-presents-alex-downey-live/ )

Based in Brighton, Alex fell in love with techno from seeing the likes of Derrick May and Dave Clarke at the Zap Club in the early nineties, and his regular pilgrimages to London’s Lost parties were an inspiration, where Jeff Mills became a massive influence on his musical perspective.

Alex Downey has been an ardent supporter of quality underground music and a prominent purveyor of all things electronic as a DJ, vinyl pusher, and radio presenter for well over two decades.

Alex has been a resident at the celebrated Freerotation Festival from it’s inception. He’s DJed at such diverse events as Wiggle, Split, Fabric, Labyrinth Festival in Japan, The Big-Beat Boutique, The Essential Festival and continues to play the best parties.
Hhis broad taste and consummate selection skills can be heard on his ‘Voyage De Lux’ radio shows, on Brighton’s 1BTN FM every month on the 4th Wednesday night.

Alex Downey - Lockdown Radio 2021-05-15

My first set back after 17 months of no gigs couldn't have gone better last month - a lovely setting with top sound and a wonderful receptive crowd, playing alongside excellent artists and joined by lots of beautiful friends and one very special person. 

Recording of my set performed 7pm-9pm on the 'Day Moves' Terrace outside Bar 90, Hackney Wick, London for Queens Yard Summer Party on 7th August 2021

Queens Yard Summer Party 2021

Live at Queens Yard Summer Party 2021 - Alex Downey

A set I performed at a friends birthday party (aka  'an old gits gathering') in a studio space somewhere in Brixton, London between 3 and 5:30 in the morning, unaware that it was being recorded. With such a special mix of old school friends and music-heads amongst the crowd there was an atmosphere of absolute musical freedom that I hadn't felt since back in the day at parties such as Heart and Soul. By this point in the night the system was well warmed up, sounding sweet and the reaction to the music in the room was almost palpable. These elements all combined in the moment and manifested themselves musically in what you can here on this mix. It certainly felt very special at the time and I was very pleased to find out the next day that it had been recorded.
DJ-Murfs 40th Birthday party was always going to be a special one.
It was an honour to be asked to play as I'm sure it was for all of the other DJs on the night.

Last Night At The Inn

Midnight Manoeuvres

This was one of those sets that just leaves you blown away when the dust settles....the only word reverberating in my head for hours afterwards was 'wow'...took me some time and a bottle of red to come down from the experience......It was a total honour and privilege to have been asked to close out the Warehouse stage on Thursday evening at this fantastic festival..... I wasn't expecting such a big turn out or stage.....it was a little bit intimidating at first in all honesty.
It took me a while to get into my groove - but I felt that the set flowed very well once I did (after a pep talk from my good pal @charlesgreen) and it seemed to be well received by the audience.
Here is the final couple of hours of the set - I've uploaded the first 55 minutes seperately.....wasn't feeling that bit anywhere near as much as this.
many thanks to Craig Richards and Bobby Connolly for inviting me to perform at the festival. @the-nothing-special @thepleasureclub
Hope you enjoy the beats.
Recorded in The Warehouse at Houghton Festival, Norfolk, UK on 11th August 2022 - 11pm - 2am.

@picklefactorylondon
The Pickle Factory hosts another electro special on 10th August, after a sellout party with Arpanet back in October. 

This time, we're proud to host a headline performance from one of the eminent techno DJs of our time, Dr Rubinstein, who prepares a special set of electro, breaks and golden era Detroit sounds. She's joined a rare live performance from Bleep43 founder and one of the UK's most vital electro talents, Plant43; and Freerotation's electro specialist, perennial Pickle Factory favourite and supreme digger Alex Downey.

@picklefactorylondon
On the following night after my appearance at Berghain's Saule Space in Berlin, I had the honour of playing a three and a half hour warm up set for one of my musical heroes. 
More details below, taken from the event description on Resident Advisor:

"On 13th October, Pickle hosts an electro special, headlined by a rare appearance from Drexciya and Dopplereffekt creator Gerald Donald, who will perform live as his legendary project Arpanet; his first show under the Arpanet moniker in London for over five years. He's joined by Intergalactic Gary, who prepares a special set of Golden Age electro and breaks from Detroit and the UK. Support comes from Freerotation resident and supreme digger Alex Downey.

Drexciya is a name imbued with deep meaning for electro and techno aficionados. Together with his friend James Stinson, Gerald Donald created Drexciya in the early 1990s, releasing a series of seminal electro records that haven't been matched since. To those who know, some of Gerald Donald's finest work was recorded under the pseudonym Arpanet - electro at its deepest and most strange, brimming with early sci-fi references and afrofuturist subtext. Although he regularly performs as Dopplereffekt on festival main stages and cavernous warehouses, Donald hasn't performed as Arpanet in London for half a decade - until now. On 13th October, Arpanet comes to The Pickle Factory for a rare headline show.

He's joined by a welcome return from Intergalactic Gary. The Hague's finest was last spotted in Bethnal Green tearing the roof off Pickle after Convextion in February. This time, IG prepares a special Electronix set that sees him digging deep into his electro, breaks and Detroit techno collection. Support comes from one the UK's finest electro DJs, Alex Downey. The Freerotation resident has been on our radar for a while - he's a simply sublime DJ of dance music in all styles, rhythms and textures. Yet it's Downey's electro collection that has particularly piqued our interest. His 'Drexciya Wavejumper set', recorded in the Stinson-esque surrounds of Bloc Festival's pool stage, is an essential retrospective on the genre. Alex is the perfect man to warm the floor for an evening of Detroit electro on 13th October. "

Live at The Pickle Factory, London 2017-10-13

Todays marks five years since my Brother’s departure from this earthly plane, 20-01-2020 - may his journey through the stars be peaceful.
So it feels like an appropriate and auspicious moment to finally share the recording of my set from the Tantrum stage at Houghton Festival 2022, where I paid tribute to him by way of playing a set of the music he loved using records from his amazing collection - an absolute treasure trove of 90s Drum & Bass bombs. Steve obviously had great musical taste, and was not only rather nifty at cutting & scratching on the decks, but he was also a very tight player of the drums. Amen Brother.
This was the first time I’ve ever played an entire set of this genre, and it was a real labour of love - the records were battered from lots of use as you will hear from the crackle & pop, and each needed a run on a vinyl cleaning machine kindly lent to me by a good friend, a lengthy process to say the least! Then a couple of late nights listening through them all and familiarising myself with the tracks, sticker-ing them up, marking tempos etc and totally missing out on the the rest of the festival. 
I was running on pure instinct with the selections and approach to putting this set together as I’d not had enough time to rehearse anything in advance, and strange as it may sound, I felt a subtle level of guidance coming through. Things went as well as they could and I think it turned out alright all things considered, check it out.

Vivid Radio Show 2017-04-12 Furthur Electronix / Revoke Showcase with Anil Lal

Recorded at this event between 12:30 and 3:30 am where I was booked as a special guest and described as one of the best in the business....kind words. https://www.residentadvisor.net/events/1064972

Plex revive their 'Basement Sessions' parties from 2013, a series where the headliners are a secret until the night, and people are encouraged to come down regardless of who is playing. Past events in 2013 hosted the likes of Rrose, AnD, Orphx and Objekt, leaving us wondering who the two high-calibre headliners for this one will be?

Yes Plex Fam!

Due to unprecedented demand (aka Dave constantly badgering me to do them again) we've decided to revive a series of parties we did way back in 2013. They went by the name of 'Plex Basement Sessions' and a few of you probably came to them..

We didn't announce any artists until the night and had people like Rrose, AnD, Orphx, Cristian Vogel, Objekt, Subhead & Moniker come down to play at them. They gave us a chance to approach things a little differently compared with our many parties at Corsica Studios over the past 10 years and people came knowing that they would be in for a decent night regardless of who was playing. It worked out pretty well in this format so here we are again primed for our 2018 Basement series!

Heading up the bill is someone who's sets we have enjoyed a great deal over the years and for us is arguably one of THE best DJ's in the business (along with a record collection to die for) We can't wait to hear what's in store on the night and we're so excited that we thought why not provide a 3hr slot for the set!

Our live act for the evening is someone who's been putting out some exceptional gear over the past 8 or 9 years and get’s better & better with each release (if that is indeed possible) - this'll be a hardware driven affair with all the trappings..party fun times of the highest calibre that bang hard!

This is all backed up as per with your hosts for the evening James Tec & Skunkrock as well a mysterious duo who go by the name of Mills & Boom..the plot thickens.

There will be ONLY 100 adv tickets (with a smidgen held for OTD @ £10)
Once these go that's it I'm afraid and you'll have to console yourselves with feelings of regret at what could've been..

See you on the 14th!

I’ve been holding back on this as I had hopes it would get picked up exclusively by online media or for a podcast series as I did with my 2017 set, but I’ve decided to put it out through my own channels before the year is out instead (as nobody seemed to be interested in anything other than studio mixes!!??).....It might also come as an early Xmas present for those who came along with me for the ride and have been eagerly awaiting the recording - better late than never I guess! 
What can I say about the gig - it’s hard to put into words, I was completely overwhelmed by the energy that I witnessed rapidly coalesce in the sweltering hot room that night. The Freerotation crowd is surely one of the world’s most musically open-minded and supportive that you could ever hope to find as a DJ, and so many inspired & magical moments promptly ensued with the distinct sense of musical freedom that had overcome me. DJ-ing on the opening night was an absolute pleasure with so much excitement in the air, and to have the opportunity to play music at this wonderful event once again, was truly an honour. 
I hope that these sentiments are reflected in this recording, and that it gives those that were there the chance to re-live some of that magic. Peace.

Gratitude to all my friends for their continued love, support and encouragement.
Respect to all the promoters who have got behind me with bookings.
Big-Ups to all the ravers for the boundless energy they’ve brought to the dance-floors I've played to.

Alex Downey Live at Freerotation 2018

Does exactly what it says on the tin.
        I made this years ago for an ex-girlfriend to use as a backing track whilst she was giving Reiki treatments.
        A lot of thought went into the mix, it is designed to follow the different phases of consciousness and brain state that take place within a reiki-session, plunging the listener deep into alpha-waves and bringing them gently back to the waking awareness.
        If you put this mix on quietly at night, I can guarantee that you will fall asleep before it's over.

Music For Reki

Music for Reiki

An improvised and mostly unrehearsed three turntable Techno throw-down, performed live at the temporal point in space-time that is Freerotation Festival.

The last time I played an up-tempo Techno set like this at Freerotation was in 2011, and I’ve been pestering Steevio to let me bang it again ever since - this was the year it finally happened. 
Set times aren’t announced until the day, so it was as much of a surprise to me as anyone else to find out that I would be playing the closing set in that room.
After a night of excellent live & DJ sets from the highly talented women I had the honour of sharing the bill with, I had to be on top of my game to maintain the energy levels at the high bar they had set. 
My aim was to keep the tempos up around 137 BPM, make good use of all three turntables, improvise as much as possible in a spontaneous way by keeping the rehearsing to a minimum, and stay as present in the moment as much as I could possibly be.
I worked out the intro and the first couple of tracks, but then kept it mostly freestyle after that, which led to some unexpected twists, turns and inspired moments that kept me on my toes, and the crowd buzzing. 
This was one of those special nights where the amazing and supportive crowd gave so much energy, that it fed straight back into the music, which then began to feel like an energy flowing right through you, that pulled you even deeper into the moment. 
Presence!
I was ecstatic to  have been so well received by the large crowd that had gathered, it was an honour & a privilege to hold the space for 90 minutes, and a joy to have the opportunity close the room on such a high. 
Unfortunately some of the amps developed a fault, causing them to overheat & create a nasty burning smell, so the set had to be brought to an abrupt end to avoid causing a fire. 
An unmet demand for a final tune rampantly ensued, I loudly and regrettably responded “The Amps Are On Fire!!”, to which someone remarked “of course they are, you did a good job”, which I felt was a fitting end to a smoking night of Techno-music, that was pure heat from start to finish! :)

Recorded Live on Sunday 7th July 2019, 
4:30 - 6am, in Sammy String's (Room 3), 
at Freerotation Festival, Baskerville Hall, Hay on Wye, UK.

Freerotation 2019

Alex Downey's 'The Amps Are On Fire Mix' Live at Freerotation 2019

This was recorded live in the 'Church of the Toad of the Nites of Eleusis' during the Sunday evening Closing Ceremony at Breaking Convention 2019 - The Fifth International Conference on Psychedelic Consciousness, that took place at Greenwich University 16th-18th August 2019. 
www.breakingconvention.co.uk/ 

A selection of deep, trippy electro & techno, vibrating with universal cosmic love waves ;-) and peppered with pearls of wisdom & insight from some of the 20th Century's more noted visionary seekers.

The conference was a huge success, I'm very happy to have been a part of what again, truly feels like history in the making! 
Watch this space.

"Wherever you are tonight, now I challenge you to hope and to dream. Don't submerge your dreams. Exercise above all else, dream of the day, even in the gutter, dream of the day that you will be up on your feet again. You must never stop dreaming. Face reality, yes, but don't stop with the way things are. Dream of things as they ought to be. Dream!!!
Face pain, but love, hope, faith and dreams will help you rise above the pain. Use hope and imagination as weapons of survival and progress, but you keep on dreaming. Dream of peace....
Peace is rational and reasonable!!!"

Noods Radio Freerotation Special 

Noods Radio - Freerotation Special 2020-03-29 - Alex Downey

Obviously a live recording from a party on 24th Sept 2011 Dodgy monitor hence some dodgy mixing.
 This was the second party I've put together under the VIVID name, hopefully more to  come.
Track list to follow.

Alex Downey Live at Vivid - The Tube, Brighton - September 2011

Alex Downey has been supporting the UK electronic underground movement as a DJ, record-shop manager and now radio presenter for nearly 20 years. Based in Brighton on the south coast of England, he is arguably the city's most prominent purveyor of all things Techno, where he is a regular fixture at the premier high profile events, alongside acts such as Underground Resistance and Derrick May.  
As the main driving force behind the counter at Brighton's highly respected and much-missed [covert] record store & web-site, he was instrumental in bringing quality Techno & House to the city - and beyond, developing along the way a boundless knowledge, vast record collection and infectious passion for the music that's unmatched by most. 
His musical taste & experience speaks for itself and his nocturnal activities behind the decks have earned him much respect and a great reputation amongst the global electronic community. He has been invited to perform at many key events such as ‘Free-rotation’ in Wales,'The Big Beat Boutique' & 'Stompa-phunk' in Brighton, 'Retro_vert' & 'Wiggle' in London, ‘Labyrinth’ festival & ‘Haus-Tek’ in Tokyo, and at many other far-flung destinations, hundreds of smaller parties and long-forgotten club nights that rocked hard, and kept the lifeblood of the scene pumping. He is currently resident DJ at 'Our Friends Electric' in Brighton as well as the 'Split' / 'B A L A N C E' parties in London where he has recently shared the stage with Red-shape, Dave Clarke, Robert Hood, Luke Slater and Carl Craig, to name a few. You can also hear him spin on the ‘Split Show’ - a globally syndicated online radio show with a large number of keen listeners worldwide that he co-presents alongside techno legend Ben Sims.
Alex’s energetic style and enthusiasm for all things deep & electronic are sure to bring some magic to the party and are matched only by his razor-sharp DJ skills. One of the UK’s treasures, solidly and confidently attending to business while other media-hyped storms have come and gone.
