Name: Donald Breed - She is smiling, 1995 Demo tape by Sash'n'alex
Duration: 3 min 55 s
Description: from 2nd Donald Breed demo tape...cca 1995..recorded at Denis (from the Psycho-path) garage on the cassete tape..

Fresh of the heels of his recent release for London's seminal Nu-Disco label Nang Records, Evol Ai steps up for a release on No Static, titled 'Zakai'.

Evol Ai is the discoid alter-ego of Slovenian based producer Alan Roposa. Roposa has been releasing music as Qualiass over the last decade for labels, such as Red Ant Records, Minimal Records, Plastic Park, BRM, Sidechain Records, Amniotik, K4 Format and more.

Title track 'Zakai' is an enigmatic disco groover. Stomping bass punctuates the wild synth Arps and a laid back vocal give it all a smokey, midnight vibe. To finish the package, Ohm Fat delivers a remix of 'Zakai', which bumps and grooves in all the right places.

Evol Ai - Zakai (original mix_No Static Rec)

Despite claiming to be a 'smile hunter and emotion cultivator', for his latest EP, Slovenian knob-twiddler Alan Roposa (aka Evol Ai) has gone all mean and moody. That's cool - we prefer the darker side of disco. "Dar K Disco" is a sparse jam with punchy snares, a lean electro-funk bass line and a whole host of ethereal vocals. Sleazy McQueen steps in to further the experiment fusing disco and acid (to great results) and Ilya Santana goes straight for the '70s side of town - with whooshes and big strings. Finally "Te Qi" is a quirky little space funk number.

Digital clip from 12" debut release on Compost Records and second Evol Ai EP titled Dark Disco - the name says it all, there is no light without darkness, so this is my moodier, deeper and darker side of "feel-good" sound, vision and, eh, love I guess....may the force be with you :)

Mixmag review:
Nice use of vocal processing – forming hums and wails into soundscapes, tight production on the percussive drums and a guitar-led groove all combine on an extremely classy slab of wax. It’s one of those records you want to hear when you walk in a club because it lets you know it’s going to be a quality night. With releases on Nang under his belt and now Compost Disco, Solvenian producer Evol Ai is turning out to be quite an addition to the disco scene.

Info: 
Feel good dance music, smile n’ drive mutant disco with remixes by Ilya Santana and Sleazy McQueen.
Evol Ai, artistic moniker of Slovenian based musician, producer and dj Alan Roposa, represents the emotional half of his musical orientation, while the other half Qualiass aims more at his energetic soundscape. Evol Ai is smile hunter and emotion cultivator, knowing that smile and tears come from the same place. It’s the love in reverse, it is love in chinese and it’s what the “I” loves.
Background wise, Alan’s first major 12” Qualia release titled Qualia Nation EP came out in 2004 on Minimal Records. Thru the past decade, he’s been musically evolving his aliases from Qualia, Qualia Six, Qualia 6, Qualias Dead to Qualiass and Evol Ai, wrapping over 20 releases on various labels around the world (see discography belew). As well as he did remixes for Laurent Garnier, Franz Ferdinand, Lindström a.m.o.
Besides producing, making music for video games, advertisements and theater, Alan’s been involved in various bands as a guitar player and the man behind the machines, most notoriously with fellow studio partner Yanoosh (Ohmfat), with whom they had a series of fresh and unique sounding live performances, which concluded in 2011 as full band support for The Klaxons at various festivals and clubs. Besides distinctive live shows with the band, Alan also tends to put distinctive element in his dj sets, which are a kind of a hybrid mix between dj, live and re-edit approach from tech to disco. As such, Evol Ai and Qualiass sets always leave the dancers satisfied and fulfilled with eclectic and broad range selection of music, feel-good attitude, creative mixing, “fu*k the genres” storytelling and “let’s have fun, because we are not rocket scientists” stage presence.
In 2012 he started doing music under the name Evol Ai, debuting with first ever track La Fu on Nang’s Beach Disco Sessions 3 compilation by Ilya Santana. His first solo release, two track La Fu EP came out few months after on respected label Nang Records and got support from many big names in nudisco, deep house and house scene, with the track La Fu selected as one of the favorites at the time by Bottin and heard on numerous mixes and dance floors around the world.

From the press:

Alan (Evol Ai)﻿ embarks on some serious hip-shaking devastation with his remix. Here he fires off rhythmic hits and diced piano stabs to compliment the vocal refrain.
