In the past few years the purpose of electronic album is becoming more and more unclear. Often times electronic albums have little flow, slapping together bangers with emotional tracks, attempted radio hits and maybe the odd experimental cut to prove the artist is still edgy. Alex Young’s album is the polar opposite. There’s no singles and it’s meticulously crafted to give the listener an experience like no other. Furthering this is the release format. It isn’t released as an 11 track album with individual songs but as one continuous mix and one listen attests to why. The project is one of the most cinematic listening experiences I can recall in recent time. With limited vocals it relies on the soundscapes and tones to paint the narrative. Much like life, it’s diverse and inexplicable. There’s moments of pure joy, moments of sadness, strong feelings of excitement and easiness. There’s dark moments and times where you’re not sure what to feel. One thing is certain this isn’t your average listen. Sure it’s avant-garde and sure to turn off some of his earlier fans but it’s guaranteed to land him some new ones too. What stands out most of all is the format, progression and fluidity. It shows the potential of what an electronic album can be. Producers take notes. Stream below and grab the free download.

Once I had heard the song, I was instantly a fan and looked for more of what Alex Young had to offer. Since then, a fair bit of time has passed during which he has put out a ton of stellar music. His most recent release is a remix of Icona Pop – Just Another Night. The song is sure to be a huge festival killer with poppy vocals, progressive builds and an absolutely ridiculous drop. It’s just one of many bangers that he has produced. Be sure to check out Mastermind and his collaboration with the The Hi-Yahs – So Much.

Part of what makes him standout is his versatility. Two songs that showcase his ability to make mellow, bass heavy and beautiful music are SWTRWTHR and his remix of BenZel – Fallin’ Love. The former makes use of the of The Neighbourhood’s popular Sweater Weather taking what the original track has to offer and building on it. The end result is an absolutely gorgeous soundscape that needs be heard.

In just over a year Alex Young has really made a name for himself, proving to be one of the best rising young producers. With his debut EP set to drop this year, expect to be hearing his name and more importantly his music, more and more regularly. By the way this is only a selection of the great music he’s produced.
