Nmesh "Pharma" is out now on @OrangeMilk Records, available as a 2x cassette box and digital download: orangemilkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/pharma

"I listen to Nmesh albums differently than most music, with equal attention given to the pure musical aspects and the pillaging of old movie clips, commercials, and general media ephemeral. That these musical and non-musical strains cohere into something both listenable and exciting speaks to the adept curation and compositional sense at play. Pharma is the successor to previous Nmesh albums Nu.wav Hallucinations and Dream Sequins, and can be similarly viewed through the frame of an evolving vaporware scene or John Oswald’s plunderphonics movement, though neither tag fully encapsulates the album’s sound world and ethos. Pharma also dips into modern Big Beat and other electronic sub genres, made more prominent through remixes by artists like Odd Nosdam, Foodman, Traxman, Giganta, and more."

Alex Koenig is an experimental / electronic producer and drummer out of Louisville.  Despite a background playing in numerous metal bands in the late 90’s, he began pursuing a solo electronic project in 2002 incorporating a multitude of styles, often with a heavy influence of psychedelia.  

Landed two remixes on renowned Brooklyn hardcore band Candiria’s “Toying With The Insanities, Vol. 3” 12” in 2010.  Released two critically acclaimed records through AMDISCS: Futures Reserve Label, the first being “Nu.wav Hallucinations” in April 2013, which made numerous Best-Of-2013 lists (including Tiny Mix Tapes & Flavorwire) and was also played on the Rodarte, Sportmax, Céline, Ferragamo, and Lacoste runways for Fashion Week in Milan, New York, and Paris.

Released “Dream Sequins®” (★★★★1/2 on Tiny Mix Tapes) in 2014, which at one point was the 2nd highest-rated vaporwave album on RYM, under Chuck Person's "Eccojams", and is noted as "taking the genre into uncharted and stratospheric territory" (Ash Beks, The Essential). The title track garnered some attention after appearing in Bronze 56K Hardware’s ***TRUST*** DVD, as well as a long stint being played in Chipotle restaurants nationwide.  Additionally, “Dream Sequins®” provided the soundtrack to Alex Czetwertynski’s original light installation “Blurware” at the 2016 Day For Night festival in Houston.  The album has been regarded as a “cult classic” (Adrian Mark Lore, The Observer) and even made a fan out of Disney actor and titular voice of “Steven Universe”, Zach Callison.  

Contributed a remix of "Radio Breakdown" for psychedelic giants The Amorphous Androgynous (aka The Future Sound Of London) on their Record Store Day exclusive 2x12” “The Cartel”, alongside DJ Food, Youth (of Killing Joke), and Noel Gallagher on bass and guitar.  Organized the massive 22nd transmission of the Terminal Radio program on FutureMusic FM, recruiting the likes of FSOL, DJ Food, Youth, Mixmaster Morris, and Ishq to contribute exclusive mixes and material. 

Released a 4+ hour psychedelic DJ mix of retro video game music "Welcome To Warp Zone!" in 2014, which was met with much acclaim in both the music and gaming communities, and garnered high praise from The Needle Drop and FACT Magazine.  As of December 2019, “Welcome To Warp Zone!” is ranked #3 in RYM’s ‘Top DJ Mixes Of All-Time’.  

Remixed Cal Chuchesta’s “Cocoa” single for the bonus track on “The New CALassic” mixtape, which reached #1 on Audiomack in August of 2015, and shared collaborative space with Joji (Filthy Frank) and the late 3Pac.  Released a much-anticipated split LP “The Path To Lost Eden” (4.5/5 on RA) with t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 on Dream Catalogue in 2015, spawning a fan-remix of the opening track by Zomby (XL Recordings).  

2017 saw the release of “Pharma”, Nmesh’s Orange Milk Records debut.  The double-album received remixes from a slew of notable artists, including Odd Nosdam, Traxman, and Humanoid (Brian Dougans of FSOL), as well as Orange Milk staples such as 食品まつり a.k.a foodman.  The release was a critical success, receiving a 8/10 from Exclaim!, a 4/5 from Resident Advisor, ★★★★1/2 from TMT, and a “decent 7” from The Needle Drop.  Gorilla vs. Bear ranked the album #58 on their ‘Albums Of 2017’ list.  PopMatters put it at number 10 in their list of ‘Best Avant-Garde and Experimental Music of 2017’.  

Curated the monolithic 100+ track charity compilation “Memories Overlooked: A Tribute To The Caretaker”, a collaborative effort of over 90 artists, paying tribute to Leyland Kirby’s long-running ambient project exploring memory loss, nostalgia and dementia via distorted pre-war ballroom music.

Nmesh has been featured in mixes from the likes of Gorilla vs. Bear, Dummy Mag, FACT, and Tiny Mix Tapes.  Airplay on Rinse FM, BBC Radio 6, NTS Radio, and KEXP in Seattle.
