Released in last March, this album deserves to be mentioned in our pages because this young producer is really promising. With 14 titles, Alex Smoke shows he's very talented in minimal house / techno as well as in more electro or ambient styles. We find on " Incommunicado" analog sounds (basslines & rhythms), more traditional sounds (guitar, piano, chords), many synth strings, frightening or deep atmospheres + some vocal parts and everything is perfectly mixed and finely-worked. Original, powerful, dark & captivating so... highly recommended of course! Check audio samples on Soma web site!!
