REVIEW: Alan Fitzpatrick & 3STRANGE - Truths (Making Moves) out on Armada Music

 


Ever pushing the traditional borders of electronic music, Alan Fitzpatrick has dropped a new record that ties together his main moniker and one of his alternative handles. Tapping into his acclaimed techno sound whilst ushering in the melodic twists of his progressive-oriented 3STRANGE moniker, ‘Truths (Making Moves)’ is a genre-crossing masterpiece that fully showcases versatility.

Demonstrating the deeper side of his famed production aesthetic through his 3STRANGE alias, Alan Fitzpatrick delivers a curious yet captivating shift from his typical offering. Flaunting melodious vocals and hypnotic, glassy plucks amidst a deep-digging groove, ‘Truths (Making Moves)’ ensures magical moments on dance floors and festivals alike this summer.
“3STRANGE was born from the desire to have a space for the progressive-leaning records I was making and believed in,” Alan Fitzpatrick says. “But when ‘Truths’ (Making Moves)’ neared completion, I also felt it harnessed my techno sound. Crediting both monikers on this release felt like the right call to make, and I’m happy that this record represents both sides so strongly.”

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] The techno legend Alan Fitzpatrick collaborate with 3STRANGE for the eclectic deep groovy melancholic anthem Truths (Making Moves). Superb chunky wonky groove, ethereal voices in the background, cool electronic melodies and some distorted distant female vocals. The main section is hypnotic, warm and dystopian that works perfectly with the great mysteriously alluring vocal and the electronic little like bells synthy melody. The track will attract definitely the more eclectic techno aficionados and will even  find supporters in the mainstream world and not only in the global techno community. Crossover techno without doubts. #PureGold Love IT  [/content]
