BERLIN, 25 Jun
Martin Eyerer, Alexkid 'Namibia' on Sincopat
Alexkid was on the bill at Club der Visionaere in Berlin on 26 June for Rawax, alongside Jus-Ed, Robert Drewek, Johnny D and Anton Kubikov. His record with Martin Eyerer, 'Namibia', is out on Sincopat, filed as Melodic House and Techno and released 7 June, arriving as Berlin moves through full summer.
Harmony leads rather than percussion here, with unhurried drums sitting well back in the mix. The level stays middling with some room under the peaks, and a muted top end keeps everything close rather than bright. It is a patient, harmony forward piece of production, confident enough to let the drums simply keep time.
Ten Walls placed 'Namibia' fourth of 23 on his Summer Selection 2024 chart on 25 June, a list that also carried Eleonora and UNDERHER's 'Slowly Drowning' in the Betical Remix on IAMHER at 10th. The record marks the 80th release of Sincopat's BeenTouched series, a milestone that makes this pairing a fitting one to reach it with.
