Alex Ketzer Cologne A hype-proof pathfinder, audio and visual designer in his own right, Noorden (@noorden) mastermind Alex Ketzer has been cutting new shapes for electronic music ever since his label came to be. Driven by his curiosity for the endless field-depth and horizon of possibilities offered by the electronic medium, Alex keeps on shaping and polishing a sonic identity that defies the conventions of dance-music related content and its more lounge-y counterpart. Draped in dubbed-out melancholia but setting off towards upper elating spheres through elegant meshworks of streamlined synth envelopes and low-key harmonics, Ketzer’s sound somehow feels riddled with synesthetic capacities, making you hear sounds where colours boil off into volutes of sound.
