We're pleased to welcome back Brighton-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, sound designer, and producer Alex Banks for a special premiere of 'Awake' off the new Blue Gold album on Prague imprint, YUKU. This is a compilation of six striking pieces of music from three unique and distinct artists, each elaborately soundtracking the luxurious and endless nights of tomorrow...

Also a supremely technically gifted sound technician, Alex creates music for film and television and could never be accused of lacking excitement. Amplifying his skills on every level, he retains the essence of emotional communication that makes his work so engaging.
“People really feel like they’ve got an emotional connection to it,” he says. “I feel like every track that I write has to resonate with me on an emotional level. If I’m not connecting with it, and it’s not evoking some kind of feeling in me then why should I expect the listener to feel that too? As we’re all made of the same kind of stuff as it’s resonating with me then hopefully it’s going resonate with other people who are listening to it as well.”
Following his second studio album, Beneath the Surface, this past Nov.12th saw Alex pilot a cataclysm of new abrasive sounds with his EP ‘Tephra’, released on Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint. The ideas emerged from two months in the rugged, black volcanic surroundings of the Canary Islands, Spain. Banks armed himself with a restricted set of equipment taken from his studio in Brighton and set about focusing on the core of his musical expression. The change of scenery brought a different intensity to Banks' sound, one that impressively finds a line between home listening and club-focused dance-floor bombs....much like today's premiere.
