1984 trancends the club/home listening divide with ease providing not just another drum & bass album but something so much more special. Going against the grain Alix has delivered an album for real music lovers the world over. Crossing the genres he delves from blissed out downbeat and experimental hip hop to funk, soul and of course his beloved drum and bass, fusing them all together in the ultimate urban electronica album for 2009. * Alix perez is the nuts - one of the best drum and bass producers around today..believe! Rob Da Bank, BBC Radio1 * Alix is one of the most talented producers making liquid D&B in 2009 - his tracks never fail to hypnotize you. Mistajam, BBC Radio 1, 1xtra It's like jazz 2020 with Mr. Perez, the type of drum and bass I call hip hop, such is the depth of the big man's sample sensibility. Heavy! Ras Kwame, BBC Radio 1, 1xtra * One of the most cutting edge drum and bass albums of recent times, it's been an honour to be involved. Alix will turn heads with this one. Friction * ABOUT ALIX PEREZ: Originally from Belgium Alix Perez first came to prominence in the UK back in 2005 when he unleashed his first few releases on labels such as Fokuz and Horizons Music. His soulful take on drum and bass instantly perked up the ears of the likes of Fabio who like many was drawn to the sophisticated fusion of old jazz, funk and soul influences all wrapped up for the D&B generation. Alix would go on to release on the likes of Liquid V, Soul:r, Fabio's Creative Source and even Metalheadz whilst his profile continued to build to the point where he was DJing all over the world at the best clubs and parties that promoters had to offer. Recognizing this formidable talent Shogun Audio took Alix under their wing in 2007 and he hasn't looked back. Having had a string of high-profile releases since and receiving love from all corners including Radio 1 and 1xtra, Alix has gone on to become one the most in demand producers around with all the demeanor of a true class act.
