alan backdrop is a project started by alessio meneghello, a young artist born and raised in the north of italy.
fascinated by electronic music and since always inspired by nature and surrealism, his mind often combines these two factors imagining both, real and immaginary surrealistc places, always with a strong presence of water.
as producer & dj he concentrates in the realization of atmospheric musical journeys which are highlighted by his solid and exceptional production talent.

fitzpatrick tracks are immediately recognizable for their refusal to conform to the norm. this latest release, the subject of much hype and anticipation, is no different. lead track, skeksis conjures up an unlikely fusion of a pumped-up dub techno groove and a 90s trance vocal to create a slow-burning, emotive bomb.

decoy records is launching in 2012 at a time where electronic music has become very exciting. with a grass roots approach and a nod to talented uk artists, the story begins.

after the tense and dramatic soundscapes of jason letkiewiczs nzambi lp under his soundtrack guise alan hurst, emotional response have put the tracks to the test for three appropriately oddball remixers. fellow l.i.e.s. affiliate terekke turns out a heavily sedated dub of >nzambi< that rides a pacey house beat but buries everything in delay and reverb. timothy j fairplay brings some serious sleazy 80s electro tones to >parallel sensations<, complete with predatory vocal and thick ladles of synthy goodness. finally, jonas reinhardt cools off the intensity with a blissful ambient version of >before the dawn< which plunges headfirst into a warm bed of melodic drones.

the same people behind emotional rescue launch as fine sister imprint in the shape of emotional rescue, with a near perfect insight into how the label will operate thanks to nzambi - a quite stunning full length album from jason letkiewicz under his alan hurst moniker. if you consider yourself an avid purchaser of vinyl, you will no doubt have added some letkiewicz heat to your collection in recent times, with excellent releases as steve summers and innergaze in recent times. the alan hurst project sees the brooklyn producer in more laid back form, indulging his passion for library sounds and experimental electronics with just as much aplomb. allegedly commissioned to soundtrack a film on modern haitian voodoo, nzambi is a woozily intoxicating thirteen track set that opens your senses to a true darkness in this producers palette of sounds that has not really been explored before.
