Respected producer, DJ and sound designer Alex Banks presents his third studio album ‘Projections’, returning to Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint. The work follows up critically acclaimed releases on Modeselektor’s Monkeytown, Ninja Tune, where he remixed Bonobo, and his sublime sophomore album ‘Beneath the Surface’ from 2019.

Produced in his studio in Brighton, UK, the album is an immersive nine-track masterstroke covering the gamut of electronica, techno, breakbeat, bass and IDM, fit for clubs and home-listening alike. The project was born in the early stages of 2021. With little outside stimulation to draw inspiration from, Banks
invested in new gear including a Moog Matriarch, DFAM and a host of Eurorack Modules - and set about immersing himself in the possibilities of his new semi-modular synths. In terms of sonic reference points, he found himself in new territory, too. “Usually going to a club night, or concert, or even the
simple things in life that you take for granted all feed into a melting pot of things that inspire me to create. But without these, I instead found myself drawing on memories of experiences, and imagining new ones for the future to come. I began to feel like these were projections, almost like memories of experiences I had been projecting via the music I was creating,” he shares, adding that memories of clubbing trips to Berlin, London and Brighton fuelled his vision for the album.

Furthermore, the seclusion we collectively experienced allowed Banks to philosophise on the nature of human connection, which fed into the album concept: “I started to think about how during our period of relative isolation, we are all projecting into the digital ether, searching for a connection in an increasingly virtual world where shared human contact and experiences have
become scarce.”

Tuman Sound - Ural (Skotcha Remix)

Awake is the second single from Ross' upcoming EP Rebirth. I was looking for that sweet spot between dancey energy and the kind of sound you can close your eyes to and get lost in. Something addicting that pulls you in immediately.

From textured loops and granular abstractions to mesmeric drones, melodic ambiences and warm surrounding basses, “Visionary Elements” is a must-have tool for IDM, ambient and electronic producers but also suitable for unconventional / experimental soundtrack making. Emotional and expressive melodies , downtempo beats that sound as if they come from the earth’s core, pads blended with grained textures creating misty atmospheres and womb-like, embracing low frequencies are just a few examples to begin with.
