Rite of Passage

Janus Rose Alex is a true vibe master and this release definitively proves he doesn't need things like kick drums or samples to write trance progressions that completely take over your emotional responses. Lush chords and textures are front and center at this cinematic opus and I am absolutely living for it. Favorite track: I.

Euth Some of the finest music I've encountered. Desperate for more from Alex DL.

tomsherlock Pure bliss and euphoria, perfectly executed. Favorite track: III.

beng.r The official soundtrack to the most vivid dream you've ever had. Favorite track: II.

////

Enter the hypnotic mythology of the Rite.

Produced by Texas-based musician Alex DL, Rite of Passage is a surrealist love letter to the spirit of trance. Innate melodies swirl through mysterious soundscapes while eschewing traditional percussion.

Originally played at the closing ceremony of a hyper-local DIY warehouse in 2021, Rite of Passage is given a second life with this release on tape. Headphones are recommended.

In which we honor our digital ancestors.
