Alix Perez's’ soulful return, ‘Without End’, pays homage to his roots in introspective drum & bass, which we have all loved and danced to for the past decade. Building upon such deep beginnings is no trivial task. Somehow, in his own masterful way, he pulls it off, with new and old ‘Perez sounds’ marrying together in the form of music, or as he flawlessly puts it: ‘perpetual tones for motion’.
It’s clear that this LP has been engineered from the ground up to evoke emotion. ‘Wondering at Loss’ evidently sets the tone of what’s to come - unifying shaded chords and refreshed amen breaks in the signature, never failing 1985 formula. With tracks such as ‘Lost & Proud’ featuring impassioned vocals from Liam Bailey - Perez clearly demonstrates to us that there is no grey area in his boundless production palate that he won’t dare flex. Additional collaborations with the titans, Workforce and Halogenix, don’t go a miss either - as they individually deliver their own personal sonics that compliment the deep and profound direction of this LP.
