TOO FAR AHEAD TO ASK ‘EM THE TIME
I DON’T THINK ‘BOUT TOMORROW, TOMORROW AIN’T IN SIGHT
BIG SPLIFF TO END THE YEAR RIGHT
TRANSMISSION UNDER SUBSTANCE

mainframe bleeds / codes vomit light / neon spit on broken circuit mics / blood made of wifi / skulls fused with antennas /drag gravity threading through black bugs. 404 child, reason's last glitch, cities burning inside my ribs, each flick a witch. screaming in pixels / sinking through code / a hyperloop prison where thoughts explode. no maps. ghosts of tomorrow, dancin’ in static gust.  spinning spacetime on cracked cassette divisions worldbreakers / spittin’ truth in waves, wired into the bones of dead satellite graves. every frame melts, every clock fakes, every language glitches into mirrors that break. we already gone — no rewind / no pulse / echoes in a dead sun, whispering from the other side.

Alex Downey has been supporting the UK electronic underground movement as a DJ, record-shop manager and now radio presenter for nearly 20 years. Based in Brighton on the south coast of England, he is arguably the city's most prominent purveyor of all things Techno, where he is a regular fixture at the premier high profile events, alongside acts such as Underground Resistance and Derrick May.  
As the main driving force behind the counter at Brighton's highly respected and much-missed [covert] record store & web-site, he was instrumental in bringing quality Techno & House to the city - and beyond, developing along the way a boundless knowledge, vast record collection and infectious passion for the music that's unmatched by most. 
His musical taste & experience speaks for itself and his nocturnal activities behind the decks have earned him much respect and a great reputation amongst the global electronic community. He has been invited to perform at many key events such as ‘Free-rotation’ in Wales,'The Big Beat Boutique' & 'Stompa-phunk' in Brighton, 'Retro_vert' & 'Wiggle' in London, ‘Labyrinth’ festival & ‘Haus-Tek’ in Tokyo, and at many other far-flung destinations, hundreds of smaller parties and long-forgotten club nights that rocked hard, and kept the lifeblood of the scene pumping. He is currently resident DJ at 'Our Friends Electric' in Brighton as well as the 'Split' / 'B A L A N C E' parties in London where he has recently shared the stage with Red-shape, Dave Clarke, Robert Hood, Luke Slater and Carl Craig, to name a few. You can also hear him spin on the ‘Split Show’ - a globally syndicated online radio show with a large number of keen listeners worldwide that he co-presents alongside techno legend Ben Sims.
Alex’s energetic style and enthusiasm for all things deep & electronic are sure to bring some magic to the party and are matched only by his razor-sharp DJ skills. One of the UK’s treasures, solidly and confidently attending to business while other media-hyped storms have come and gone.
