Alex is a London-based contemporary electronic music composer known for his moving and intricately multi-layered soundscapes. His compositions – revealing the influence of acts like Brian Eno and the Chemical Brothers – span genres across club, synth, pop, film, and more. Andrew is a multi-genre producer who also releases club-focused techno and rhythmic underground music under the alias Rene Wise and is currently based in Lisbon, Portugal.
On As They Fade they have teamed up with singer-songwriter Riah Knight. UK born but now based in Berlin, Knight’s debut single came on the independent label Get Together back in 2021. Prior to its release, Riah had collaborated with hip hop and jazz artists, featuring on High Focus Records Records’ album Radio Waves and Just Jack’s Ford Lane Versions Versions and What We Did Today.
“The inspiration behind As They Fade is vast, as collectively we all brought our own experiences to the table. Hopefully, we’ve created something that will really resonate with people: I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.” Alex Over
As They Fade is a vibe, pure and simple. Incorporating soul, jazz, house, and downtempo electronica elements, it draws you in with a warm, full bassline and subdued percussion, with Riah’s rich, evocative vocal casting a hypnotic spell. Unpredictable yet deeply comforting, it is a beautiful introduction to Alex & Drew’s musical world.
As They Fade is the debut Alex & Drew single to be released in 2022, with more to be announced over the coming months. It lands on Perpetual Collective, a new record label from Alex Over which focuses on creative collaboration and genre-defying releases.
Release date: July 28th, 2022.
