'Patache, Calm Down' kicks off with a funky groove, building up before the acid bassline kicks in and drives the momentum. The groove is infectious yet subtle, with sharp synths punctuating the rhythm. Scattered throughout the track are small, chopped vocal snippets, which connect directly to the storyline in the music video, directed in Barceloneta and quickly going viral. Patache, the main character, is on the quest to find the needles of his turntables but he needs to calm down. Will he find what he's looking for?

In contrast, 'Koyasan' is a stripped-down minimalistic track that takes the listener into a more introspective and trippy dimension. The percussive elements are intricate, with rolling rhythms and textures.The minimal arrangement allows each sound to breathe, with pads and analog reverbs adding depth and an air of mystery. Inspired and created in the sacred region of Koyasan, as Alex was travelling Japan in June 2024.
