OUT Alex Wright - Airglide [Blue Soho]

[sashamlenik]

Release date: 07.05.2021

Nice progressive tune by Alex Wright. Love this sound.

Soho's favourite Alex Wright brings us his second release on the label with a blistering track to cement his reputation.

Rolling on a tight, inspiring combo of vibrating percussion and a beefed-up bass line, Airglide is an advanced, power-packed melodic treasure, which again highlights Alex's intricate production credentials and concludes a colourful trance flavour on the Soho house.

I can tell just from the beats in the intro that I'm gonna enjoy this very much.

That said, I wish he'd experiment more with drums and especially percussion, to give it space, an even bigger room to breathe, and to give the atmospheres, melodies and the vibe a better chance of making an impact on the listener. It's what would make a good track a great one, because everything else seems like it's there already.

And I did enjoy it.

Ridiculously good stuff.

 

[Daysleeper]

I actually dont know if I like this one or not. I got hooked in the beginning but the more it went on it became noisier and messier. That flute/detuned synth sound was a cool element. The break following felt somehow unrelated to the previous mood it vreated and then led to a more noisy techy part which didnt get me convinced..


Also the build strongly reminds me of a pretty big/known track from the past...

 

[Magdelayna]

Good stuff,i like the groove he has in his tracks - i do prefer Sueno though.

 

[MDD]

Yep, the tech came through too much for me after the break. The melody had promise too.

 

[Hensmon]

Nice one!

 

[Archon]

OUT!

 

[aSeb]

This is so good. Wish there would be more tracks like this.

 

[Daysleeper]

It could have offered a bit more when its 8.23 tbh. Its nice but missing something for me.

 

[Manofearth]

The beats have an infectious feel, good track.

 

[BlueSoho]

Thank you, guys! Alex is a talent indeed, loving every release from him so far.

 

[A.Brindiss]

Alex Wright is so good!

 

[Daysleeper]

Back at this again.

Gotta say - Its a cool tune, and def top 10 this year.

(that felt weird to say, jeeez)

 

[Aquarium]

Sweet ass track

 

[Peenuts]

The percussion is really good - it's weighty, crisp yet still maintaining that tribal, shuffling feel. The overall production is perfectly fine, and sounded good to the ears.

But... even though this was meant to be a techy track, I still feel it's lacking in a central melodic theme that would gel the track together, whether it be a simple chord/bassline progression or a riff.

For a techy track, the climax didn't hit hard enough for me, and wasn't a step up from the first part of the track. So for me, it kinda loses a bit of steam towards the end.

 

[Exodom]

Good production

 

[Hoahoa]

Wicked track

 

[Propeller]

Very disappointing - too much treble/white noise/hissing/whooshy sounds. I can barely feel any music here!

 

[Freezer]

not so many ideas in such a long track tbh...i like some parts quite a lot tho, i would go for a 7/10
