This guy is a machine! Is there anything he can't do?
One of those producers that manages to have their own 'sound' but never makes 2 tracks that sound the same.
3 of my top 5 tunes at the minute are by him, and they're all different styles!

Takes me higher on CLSM fantastic slab of D&B/BBHC, the drum work is immense!
http://www.trackitdown.net/search/advanced?title=Qube
Qube from the Watchtower records album. I felt genuine excitement (and emotion when this dropped at ILHB on friday, listened to it (very loudly) at least 50 times since.

AB's remix of Massenya by Transcend & Douglas. Holy shit! Gabber with freeform tendencies, yes please!
Can't be many who can match his versatility, your thoughts please?

This track is very nice, but freeform tendencies? =P

Love the guy and most of what he's produced. I mean having Kevin energy as a mentor has really helped launch his career. And he is definitely no clone of Kevin, alex can stand by himself with his own sound.
Douglas is definitely improving as a producer and remixer. Loving a lot of things he's been working on lately.

Yeah, he makes some very solid stuff. I'm not nearly as familiar as I should be with his stuff though. And yeah, agreed - ridiculously versatile.
Qube is a fcuking mind-blowing journey of madness. Absolutely sensational.

Really enjoy most of A.B's tunes. I'd say my favorite so far is probably 'Relax' but as mentioned in the thread Qube is one hell of a tune, as well as his remix of Massenya I loved the Gabber influence on it.

Alright is certainly very good. Surprised there's not more of his stuff you like, if you like that.

I browse through most of his tunes while listening and it's not that catchy enough. Good example now is "Future's Past", there is a pretty long buildup and it kinda sounds slow... it takes too much time and it would probably sound interesting on 200bpm.
Alright hooked me up with this clean, euphoric trance melody and those voice samples are catchy as hell.
edit: just listened to "Silence A Prayer" and I have to say: 2nd tune I like, but still... differences in quality levels between those two upcoming tunes are incredible high imo.
