TF #203: @alpha-tracks-official [@bluehour909] - Vienna
Felix Benedikt, alias Alpha Tracks, is a Techno producer and DJ based in Vienna, Austria. His mature sound has often had him mistaken as a veteran producer. In fact, Benedikt is actually a talented young artist with a wealth of music already under his belt. The first release on the reactivated label Morbid had strong international resonance and Alpha Tracks has continued with highly acclaimed records like Blue Hour since.
The music of Alpha Tracks is mainly produced live on analogue machines with different guest musicians, focussing less on technical fetishism than on the live dynamics of studio collaborations. The result is a sound that refers to the Rave era of the early nineties. Alpha Tracks blithely ignores tempo limits or taste doctrines. Aesthetic taboos or even fragments of often maligned genres, are not treated as a retro fetish, but are folded into the contemporary oevre with playful Viennese charm.
