about

After releasing a debut album in 2021, DC-based producer Villager aka Alex Young joins Chloé Robinson’s ever-growing Pretty Weird imprint.

Delivering a high octane EP destined for the dance floor, these are his most club-focused beats to date. Recorded exclusively on hardware using samplers, groove boxes and synths, it displays an effortlessly raw and live analogue aesthetic with a nod to UK garage, bass, techno and the sounds of 90s rave music.

Stripped back 2-step beats skip amongst energetic hi-hats on ‘Chlorophyll’, while blissful synthesiser melodies dance across vocal cuts with moments of pitch-bending mastery and colourful modulation. ‘Club Wonk’ is an essential DJ tool with unconventional structure, taking blistering kicks and tight rhythms that ride across an impulsive, meandering bass demanding full attention. ‘Joint Resolution’ - a collaboration with DJ ADHD - brings the classic sound of rave flawlessly into the present with phasey breaks, bleeps, and an unmistakable Alpha Juno-esque hoover bassline. ‘Rave Bender’ is an outlandish and fortuitous trip into the unknown encompassing minimal beats and twisted sonics. ‘In Town’ displays a deeper side of Villager’s productions, channelling the essence of UKG with bouncing toplines and bittersweet vocals pushed through ghostly reverb.
