Alexander Alar – Budapest / Buenos Aires [BeatFreak Limited]

D-Formation's Beatfreak Limited continues a great start to 2019 by welcoming Alexander Alar to the label for his debut EP. Based in Bali, Indonesia, Alexander started fresh with his new alias less than a year ago and has already notched releases on Dear Deer, Highways Records and Songspire Records. Now debuting on Beatfreak's Limited division he presents the much anticipated 'Budapest / Buenos Aires' EP.

Both cities are known for their rich history in progressive music and Alexander has done a fine job paying homage to them beginning with 'Budapest'. A slick, modern piece of melodic techno with an emphasis on warm grooves and crunchy designs. It's this contrast, coupled with chugging rhythms and a stellar complement of effects which keep the dramatic appeal high throughout. A twisted lead synth gets teased sparingly, and rightly so as it adds just the right amount of cosmic appeal without overshadowing the the fluid framework below.

The companion piece 'Buenos Aires' leans a touch closer to pure progressive territory yet still sits comfortably in a cross genre realm. Finely tuned drums instantly grab your attention along with a rippling low end and spastic synth designs. A smart tonal theme fades to prominence during the break, undergoing some clever and mind bending modulation before reaching a tasteful peak and unleashing the groove for a driving finale. It rounds out what are two spectacular tracks from Alexander who is certainly an artist to keep a close eye on as 2019 unfolds.
