These accomplishments would be impressive for any 23-year-old, but even more so for Alessio, who's done it all without having full movement of his body - composing beats, playing in clubs and managing a record label while remaining seated the whole time. Considering this, it seems especially poetic that he has such an intuition for crafting and mixing such seductive grooves, keeping dancers on their feet for the duration of his tracks and DJ sets. Now, with his debut full-length album, Alessio Mereu captures the magical energy of the club and distills it into a personal statement, resulting in the title Tripolarity, which reflects his three different musical "personalities": warm-blooded house, sinister techno and - a side not heard from him before - experimental abstractions that ignore the dancefloor altogether.
