ALEX

ALEX, the project of Edinburgh-based Alex Davidson, stands out in the dark wave and darksynth scenes with a sound that skillfully merges brooding atmospheres with retro-futuristic energy. With a string of well-received albums including “NOW YOU KNOW MY NAME” and “HYPER REALITY,” both released in 2024, ALEX has established himself as a prominent figure for fans seeking textured synthscapes and the pulsing power characteristic of underground electronic music.

The steady pace of releases signals ALEX’s commitment to his craft, with albums like “THE INSTRUMENTALS OF ALEX,” “DEMONS & REVERB 3,” and “DEMONS & NIGHTCORE 2” all gracing listeners within a single year. Tracks such as “3AM” and its various remixes, as well as “AFFLICTION,” showcase the artist’s versatility and flair for evocative, cinematic composition. These recordings sit comfortably alongside his more experimental work and remixes, adding depth to his growing discography.

In May 2026, ALEX is set to take the stage at The Rainbow in Birmingham, supporting headliner CHERRYAID. This live music event not only highlights ALEX’s continued presence in the UK’s dynamic concert scene but also offers audiences a chance to experience his immersive sound in person. Fans of synth-driven music should follow ALEX for future releases and keep an eye on upcoming gigs to catch his next compelling performance.
