Polish producer Matt Chowski returns to Always Alive Recordings alongside US producer Suzy Solar's Xenera alias in the refreshingly different '1XE'.
Combining an evocative old-school, trippy female lead vocal around rough & rugged modern techniques, Matt Chowski & Suzy Solar's collaboration serves up a deep & brooding 'Dark' Mix to begin with. Featuring tough pads, grinding FX and airy atmosphere's the opening mix of '1XE' is an unrelenting peak-time monster.
Offering an alternative 'TechLift' Mix, '1XE' gets an emotive overhaul, whilst retaining the moody lead and introducing crunching pads & rippling, rising chords throughout.
Completing a sublime yet refreshingly different release on Always Alive, Matt Chowski & Suzy Solar pres. Xenera's collaborative debut ticks all the right boxes.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]If you like the underground uncompromising psy-tech sound the dark is for you but if you like the rough edge with moody haunting synthy melody you better choose the Tech-Lift remix. Love it .[/content]
