DDSC004 - Alex Klein - In The Mood by Dream Diary Records published on 2021-05-12T17:22:17Z Dream Diary’s Single’s Club fourth release see’s DD’s own head of A&R turn his first offering for this new series. Alex is a classically trained multi genre producer, instrumentalist and seasoned DJ who helps DD carefully nurture and develop artists for the label. 2020 saw his debut release “First Relic” under his new moniker Alex Klein drop on Submit records which gathered notable support from Ame, Richie Hawtin and Sasha, the latter of which featured a track in his April ReConnect set for Beatport. This slice of deep brooding dub bass and soulful vocals sees Alex step away a little from his long-form detailed weaving techno and deliver a more minimal lo-fi club focused anthem. Split into A/B format, the exposition presents a soulful re-pitched vocal supported by a big sub bass line and moody chord progressions. This transitions into the B section where the bass takes hold of the melody as analog hats drive us forward. This structure is then repeated again with the intensity continuing to grow throughout. His detailed approach to sound design can be heard in his background and harmonic textures whilst his love for analog drum machines keeps the tracks momentum flowing. With more releases lined up for the coming year including collaborations with long time production compainion Lawrence Hart it seems Alex is on an exciting trajectory. Recorded at Octagon in Brixton, London, Uk Written and produced by Alex Klein Mixed by Stuart Crossland Mastered by Christian Wright Genre Techno
