Up All Night

Alex Clare

Island

WE SAY

Produced by Diplo and Switch, Zane Lowe gave Alex Clare's debut his first spin last week and John Kennedy on XFM selected it as one of his Top 5 tracks this week. The bass-heavy remix from London producer SBTRKT is racking up the SoundCloud plays after pieces from The Fader Discobelle, Mad Decent and this nice introductory piece from ID online. A Dazed and Confused feature is set to run this month too. Another track, Relax My Beloved (listen here) has been released online - it further outlines his original sound, a meeting point between his bedroom DJ origins and some epic-sounding electronic rock. This should fuel interest until another tastemaker release due out in March. An interesting and natural slow-burner to keep an eye on in the new year. Video.
