A concert musician with letters after his name, [b]Alex parsons[/b], is more than your average bedroom producer. On his first release for [b]Urbantorque[/b] he displays all his musical nous in creating two tracks that dominate a mood and determine the tone. [b]‘Nineties Dayshade’ [/b]and [b]‘Sixties Nightshade’ [/b]are fierce yet intelligent, potent pieces of music. Ignore at your peril. [b]
‘Nineties Dayshade’[/b]- Magnificently sparse, masterfully restrained minimal tech house. Cleverly layered for intensity, but lifted throughout by a gentle groove. [b]‘Sixties Nightshade’[/b] – More big-room, this goes for the jugular. Moody, belligerent, and with some unashamed hands in the air moments for the kids!
Twenty-four year old Londoner, [b]Alex parsons[/b], injects house music with his musical knowledge and classical experience. A concert musician with a [i]Masters degree in Music[/i], Alex has become an integral part of the [b]Brique Rouge[/b] roster with productions and remixes under his own name and as [b]Agent Toga[/b] with [b]Trent Anthony[/b]. He’s recently been propped by a whole host of house and techno legends including [b]Laurent Garnier, Satoshi Tomiie, Josh Wink, Tiga, Phonique, Ralph Lawson[/b] and [b]David Duriez.[/b] [b]‘Nineties Dayshade / Sixties Nightshade,[/b]’ Alex’s debut release on [b]Urbantorque[/b], shows his versatility and creativity as a producer, and suggests there’s much more to come from this young artisan.
