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.”

Sydney-based breakout artist @willomp3 returns with her next EP, 'watching a memory', exploring themes of connection, nostalgia and solitude across seven tracks on @futureclassic.

‘reverie (start of something)’ kicks off the EP with ambient-leaning soundscapes and dreamy synths, a track that began as a soundtrack as opposed to a song. “The process was to capture a feeling first, and then delve into the structure and arrangement,” Willo explains.

A tender journey through nurture and strength, where each moment carries fragility and power. Layers of light and shadow intertwine, forming a protective, vast and infinitely sustaining presence. In its embrace, growth and reflection find their home.

Limora - Dont worry

I had a lot of train journeys recently and I love watching the wires seemingly dance around outside the window. I wondered if we could be getting fooled by a similar process during our usual experience of movement and time, and thought it would be an interesting project for a music video set to the music created during the same journeys.

You can find that project and a longer explanation of the video ideas here: https://vimeo.com/241546182

For the music I wanted to bring ideas of frozen moments of the past into play, and no better excuse to get stuck in with the Prophet 6 on some lush classic analogue synth sounds for the main chord sequence, and plenty of nob noodling for a dance of modulating sounds around the main sequence. I wanted to keep it fairly sparse to let the chord patch be central, and just focus on trying to make every element, including the percussion, warp a little, so you can either listen to the track from a distance and hear the harmonic ideas, or delve in to find all sorts more hiding in there.

Resynthesis [Mesh004]

The core chord progression, bass line & melodic elements of this track came first and were fairly well established early on, however the drums changed countless times during this track’s evaluation. We really wanted hard-hitting drums with lots of energy but wanted to avoid the obvious. 

Scarp is a geological term which is slightly too technical to get into but it’s basically a specific type of erosion. After the intro when the beat drops on this it feels like everything is falling away to make way for something powerful.  The drums and some of the melodic phrases also have this ‘falling away’ effect.
