Brothers Harvey and Ryan McKay return to Drumcode with their dynamic Alias project.

We were introduced to Alias last year when the McKay brothers dropped the impact-heavy ‘Visions’ EP mid-way through 2017. The duo followed with a lauded contribution for Drumcode Live and the buzz from fans was palpable. The follow up sees the pair in powerhouse form. 

The title track ‘NRG’ is an attitude-packed tour de force; compromised of aggressive snares, warped vocals and a tension-filled break, it has been smashed by Adam Beyer for the last six months. ‘Orange Sunshine’ pulls no punches as it dishes out apocalyptic acid paired with the sibling’s startling drum work. ‘The Event’ rounds out the EP and is an exhilarating affair propelled by uplifting synth lines and a buzzing energetic bassline.

My tracks are coming from jamming sessions. My set up is composed by some Elektron, Korg and TE gears.

Techno aus dem inneren Takt.

Aufgewachsen in schwierigen Verhältnissen, fand André früh in der Musik seine Ordnung. Schon mit 16 produzierte er Beats, wenn die Gedanken zu laut wurden.
ADHS war nie ein Hindernis – eher ein Motor. Zwischen Familie, Arbeit und Selbstreflexion wurde der Sound zur Konstante.
Heute ist Techno für ihn kein Ventil mehr – 

sondern pure Identität.

Direkt, ehrlich, tief.
Ein Leben im 4/4-Takt.
