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.

Sunflower serves as a representation of what’s to come for 2020, and how 2019 and every aspect of it influenced my world and the world around me. Recorded in Tokyo and New York, two of my favourite and most inspirational places (to me), Sunflower comprises 4 tracks which are a stand alone project, but an introduction to the debut Mall Grab album slated for a late 2020 release.
