DJ/producer ALRT released his second album Multiplicity last Friday, July 14 on NRG Records and it is packed with 15 tracks that showcase his diverse production styles. The thoughtful ordering of the tracks is a testament to ALRT’s growth and evolution as an EDM producer, providing a breath of fresh air in an industry that can sound a bit stale.
The album starts with a cinematic intro that sets the mood for the album, before two high-energy bass house tracks, “Familia” and “New Hope” which are chock full of party energy. The next track, “City,” dips into tech house and captures the feeling of big-city nightlife.
ALRT taps into his Israeli-born roots on “Run It Up,” which features brass horns and gives off the exotic feel of the Middle East. Then the next two tracks, “One Time” and “Make You Move” feel like they are ready to be played out at the club to get the crowd moving. The tech house vibes are alive and well on these two.
“Through The Fire” and “Never” are emblematic of ALRT’s multiplicity when it comes to the evolution of his music production, as he leans into UK garage influences and soulful vocals. “Too Hot” might be the pinnacle of the album, brimming with bass house beats and slick pace changes to keep listeners on their toes, while the next track “Air Drums” keeps the high energy going.
Track 13 titled “Mother” is, in fact, a tribute to his family, using voice samples of his wife and child as he creates a sweet-sounding tune in his new role as a husband and father. ALRT rounds out the album with the experimental sounds of “High Status” and the trance-inspired “1985” which is the perfect way to end the sonic exploration of Multiplicity with a soothing tune.
Listening to the album all the way through from front to back, one gets a good sense of the time and attention ALRT gave to crafting an album that explores the endless possibilities of EDM. He’s got some great high-energy, dancefloor-ready tunes and weaves them seamlessly into more ethereal and heartfelt tracks at the end of the album.
