Bloop Presents: Digging Deep.

A Radio Show hosted each time by a different artist, which gives the host an opportunity to play the different shades of electronic music, as opposed to the usual DJ set.

Each guest guides us through their personal record collection, from old influences, favourites, or simply the stuff they are digging at the moment.

Episode #4 featured Brighton based Alex Banks.

Alex Banks wanted to clear the decks, to start afresh. His Monkeytown-released debut album ‘Illuminate’ caused a ruckus on its 2014 release, praised by the likes of MixMag and Uncut, and propelling the Brighton-based producer through a lengthy series of enormous international live shows. But that was one chapter – and he needed to start another.

Digging Deep #4 w/ Alex Banks - 08.05.20

Alex Banks is a DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist from Brighton, UK. Praised by the likes of BBC Radio 6, Mixmag, Clash and Uncut, he makes music aimed at the dancefloor that thrills with its sonic intricacy and warm human feeling.
His prismatic sound design decorates rhythms influenced by jungle, broken beat and dubstep, while techno effects hiss and clank, and off-world IDM melodies snake around the arrangements. Bank’s sound carries instantly recognisable motifs and an impressive quality. All the while he consistently pushes the envelope with an adept technical skill and sound design which commands repeated listens.
‘Projections’ is the title of Banks’ third studio album that is set for release on Max Cooper’s Mesh in summer 2022. Characterised by his passion for analogue gear and experimentation, the work is a pure distillation of his production expertise and love for emotive synth sounds. The project includes visual collaborations with award-winning motion graphic designer Matthew Clugston and Tosh Fieldsend from renowned VFX house The Mill.
His other work includes critically acclaimed releases on Modeselektor’s Monkeytown, Ninja Tune and Hunter/Game’s Just This. Remix credits have seen brilliant re-works of Bonobo, RY-X and Raven Bush. On the collaborative front Banks is just as selective, linking with Max Cooper and Sasha respectively, the latter set for an April release on LNOE as part of the ‘TEN’ compilation. 
A musical polymath, when not immersed in the electronic world, Banks works as a sound designer, composing for film, TV and advertising campaigns. Notable achievements include projects for Global brands such as Nike, Heineken and Honda. 
Alex Banks is entering a fresh and exciting chapter in 2022. A master craftsman in the studio pushing his sound into inspiring new directions, he'll augment the eclectic  'Projections' project on Mesh with a new live AV set up, taking his creative output to a new level.

"His mind simply becomes as it was in 
the beginning when he knew nothing and 
had  yet to be taught anything at all." 

"Although  wisdom  is  called  immovable,  
this  does  not  signify  any  insentient  thing,  
like  wood or stone.  

It moves as the mind is wont to move: 
forward or back, to the left, to the right, 
in the ten directions and to the eight points; 
and the mind that does not stop at all 
is called immovable wisdom."

Canadian-born, now London UK-based DJ, producer, & vocalist juSt b has a firm belief that the essence of a great artist is to endlessly entertain as well as strongly inform. One who's extremely knowledgeable, highly adaptive, & whose personal voice asserts itself in all they create. 

Headlining in the bustling centers of London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Delhi, Goa, Bangalore, Scotland, Montreal, & Toronto, at iconic venues like Fold, E1, Summerhouse, Social, House of Chapora, Igloofest, The Cause, & Steel Yard, her monthly show Undercurrents has consistent high acclaim for 7 years, coupled with accolades from industry legends Sasha & Digweed. 

With a repertoire boasting numerous top releases, including a fiery remix from Spanish icon @Henry-Saiz on his new Balance 32 Album, a 3-track EP + 3 limited edition CD & vinyl with @norb-02 on John Digweed's mighty @Bedrock_rec, a solo EP on the esteemed @Balance-series (home to luminaries like James Holden, Henry Saiz, & Max Cooper), plus a string of collabs, featuring her smooth, thought-provoking vocals on niche imprints Configurations of Self & @cinematique, and most recently on NYC/Berlin’s @weareiconyc, juSt b's recent years are testament to her growing influence.

Incredibly versatile, her seamlessly programmed diverse sets flutter between old school & new school with the utmost elegance & ease, fusing everything from raw techno to groovy house, sexy breaks to filthy acid, sassy pop reworks to classic prog, & uplifting trance to emotive melodic melters. This crossover complexion & persistent passion showcases juSt b’s bold vision with a fresh, uncompromising forward-thinking aesthetic.
