Alex Jann :: Cold Light Wave EP (brokntoys)

A well-oiled and tightly packed release to kick off 2024 as we keep our ears peeled for more in what could very well be its own genre titled “cold light wave.”

Raw machine funk and robotic electro

Alex Jann captures raw machine funk and robotic electro in just four tracks as the title track sets the bar high with six minutes of pure Detroit-infused electro-nics. It maintains a synth-heavy Drexciya shell and delivers it with a Kraftwerk-like groove that we’re compelled to repeatedly rotate. “Collective Paranoia” provides rhythmic edges with a roughened pulse, while “Pass 3” adds an industrial acid-electro flare and shifting shadows to balance it off. With classic breaks and bass, “The Chamber” closes the EP and leaves us craving for more. A well-oiled and tightly packed release to kick off 2024 as we keep our ears peeled for more in what could very well be its own genre titled “cold light wave.”
