Bleep

Astral Black unleashes the first recordings from Xao, a producer who has been on our radar for a long time now, awaiting the drop of some beats. Alloys spins five platinum coated trax of street level trap, grime and cyberpunk sound design footwork to create one of the most devilish debuts from a producer for as long as we can remember.

From the word go Alloys spins some serious hydraulic roaming drums against tear drenched vocal loops, tearing itself between haunted angst and tense relief the atmospheres are cut up by the best string samples since Joker's Stuck In the System. Recently favourited by UIQ's Sim Hutchins and having been fired out on NTS and Rinse in recent months. Xao is set to take his place at the top of the game.

For those in the know...
