The first of our trio of Aliens remixes by London based Dj Pitch
DJ Pitch is the architectural mastermind behind 2 outstanding UK labels, championing artists like Object Blue, Organ Tapes, Don Sinini, Iceboy Violet and BFTT who have all had eminent releases through DJ Pitch’s hands. He has previously been featured and interviewed in the likes of Dummy Mag, Mixmag, Beatport and Tank Mag, and has collaborated on projects with 8ULENTINA and Lara Sarkissian (Founders of the now defunct Club Chai).
The record is intrinsically influenced by the hundreds of artists he has worked with, and it sits somewhere between the curation he shows in his 2 record labels. On one hand All Centre - a DJ, dance floor focused label heavy on bass and techno and then TT, an older shining light in experimental music that leaves no stone unturned - dancehall, grime, gabber, ambient, contemporary club, emo rap. It also nods towards his recently launched 3rd label Off Centre, which covers new school grime. But this record shouldn’t be defined by DJ Pitch’s other projects, rather on the leap forward in his own personal, distinctive sound that shows his well sculpted sound design skills and palette.

‘'If DJ Pitch were in the NBA, he might be called a ‘glue guy': an essential player who works tirelessly for the team without chasing individual glories. And that terminology can also apply to the binding role his labels play in building communities and holding them together. But as his recent releases, club sets, radio shows, and Impact mix assert, he's well capable of unleashing his own half court buzzer beaters. Or to stop this tortured metaphor: making and playing bangers.’
Aliens is one of those bands that rise above such nonsense as genres and labels, something that more bands should do. It allows them to explore sonic landscapes unhindered by demarcations and expectations, both the listener’s and their own.
As always, Aliens delivers the sonic goods, and then some
