Riding high off the rhythms of his ‘Club Wonk EP’ earlier this year, Alex Young aka Villager returns to Chloé Robinson’s Pretty Weird imprint with three tracks that further define his artistry. Villager has a particular way of acknowledging the fundamentals of UKG, bass and techno with his own twist; reconstructed and reimagined through sampling and hardware, while recorded live on groove boxes. He reveals the inspiration behind his latest ‘Blind Eye EP’ is “hyper dimensional mushroom club”.

The bouncing melodies and filtered pads that open the lead track ‘Blind Eye’ conjure eloquent soundscapes that strip down into syncopated rhythms and shuffling garage hi-hats. Vocal cuts add to the atmospherics and the intricate melodics build plenty of emotion.‘Oh Wow’ takes a more reductive approach; bouncing toms and fluctuating pitch-bends ride alongside 2-step beats and sparse vocals that create unconventional moments and mind-altering breakdowns. The fast-paced kicks and pulsating bassline of ‘Lemons' provide the foundations while chopped elements are in constant fluctuation, transporting you from rolling percussion and weighty stabs into a beautiful reverie of dreamlike melodies. All three tracks exude club playability and effortless energy, keeping the sentiment of the live jam strong.

Sloucho 'Come Around' (w. Rory Sweeney)

Nothing's Perfect

I originally made this track to play on my Rinse show with Razor (the MC) as an instrumental for him to bar over. However, since then, it has received a lot of support from the wider Scuffed Recordings and No Edits family, so I thought I would release it out into the world for you all to play and enjoy as you like.

Sending love,
Alex (Lutsu)
