proximas debut album, alpha, released through tempa, follows on from a string of blistering singles for the label, which found the dutch producer carving out a stark and synthetic vision of 140bpm club music. across its eleven tracks, alpha sharpens his already distinctive aesthetic while significantly broadening in scope. it is a manifesto of sorts, centred firmly around his characteristic, titanium-hard dubstep mutations, yet comfortable taking spaced out voyages through melody-soaked electronics, freaked-out sci-fi funk and vocal-led songs.
