Bleep

Glasgow mainstay Alex Smoke debuts on Optimo Trax with a solid, 4-piece offering of club ready material on the Stauner EP. Loopy guitars underpin the sunken disco-tinged bomb ‘Remembered II’, which eventually erupts into a sweltering tribal epic, closely followed by the miss-firing, late night smog of ‘Divination’. On the flip, title cut ‘Stauner’ has proggier intentions, grounded by a nagging chime and gradually swelling in size, whilst final cut ‘Pax’ is an exercise in mind melting, dizzying triplets that’ll leave the club contingent in knots.
