DC175 comes courtesy of Alias, a new project comprising of Harvey & Ryan McKay, who are two acts who have previously released solo material on the label. Harvey McKay’s last appearance was in late 2016 when he dropped ‘The Mad Drummer’ on A-Sides Vol. 4 whereas Ryan McKay’s last outing was in 2015 when he appeared on A-Sides Vol.3 under the name Skiver. This is the first collaborative project between the Scottish duo under their new moniker Alias.

The EP opens with ‘Pentatonic’; A tough sounding track that has been designed for the forward-thinkers. ‘The Truth’ follows up sharply, with vintage piano stabs and a vocal that gives the track abounding energy. The on-point percussion leads you on a trip of pure rapture. The release closes with the apocalyptic ‘Dream Taker’, which is teeming with sinister vocal action, hostile synth work and a sublime way to sign off.

Soy MBLK. El techno es mi forma de expresión: sonidos que empujan, conectan y hacen mover.
Empecé a pinchar en 2023, me estoy formando en Arjaus y ya tuve la suerte de tocar junto a DJs locales que admiro.
Mis sets recorren el peaktime y el driving techno, siempre buscando una historia que se sienta.

Independent record label owned by Adam Beyer.
