Alphabet Soul vinyl

With releases on Dekmantel, Latency, Avenue 66, Syncrophone and more, it's fair to say Joey Anderson had a watershed 2013, and the New Jersey-based producer's profile is set to rise further with a forthcoming album for the aforementioned Amsterdam label. Ahead of that, Anderson is doffing his curatorial cap with the latest release on his own Inimeg Recordings label entitled Exchange Place presents Alphabet Soup. Productions from Anderson bookend the record and in between DJ QU and Nicuri offer some strong representation for the esteemed Strength Music camp. Lead track "She Is Afraid" finds Anderson working once more with Ebony Ugo, whose treated vocals complement the bugged out house backing perfectly. "Alphabet Soul" from DJ QU could almost be a Pangaea production whilst "Navigation 8th Density" finds Nicuri combining taut techno rhythmics with an underlying cosmic sense of light. If you enjoyed Anderson's late 2013 Dekmantel dalliance you will most certainly dig final track "Linguistic Command".
