Following on from volumes by Ewan Pearson and Luciano, Scottish label Soma looks to local homeboy Alex Smoke for the third installment in its Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi. mix CD series.

Alex is more known to RA as a producer and a live act than a DJ. This year his debut album 'Paradolia' was acclaimed for its take on the difficult long player format, while he's also been busy remixing the likes of Steve Reich, Junior Boys and Depeche Mode.

Alex recorded his 'Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi.' volume live in one take using mostly vinyl and a smattering of his own unreleased tracks on CD. As for the mood, it looks like he's opted to dig deep into his crates rather than selecting the latest and hottest, which a big nod to Detroit (Juan Atkins, Robert Hood) and the Detroit-inspired (2000 & One, Aril Brikha). Elsewhere there is the dubstep of Burial, two dub techno cuts by Basic Channel and, from the depths of his collection, obscurities by the likes of Thomas Brinkmann and Stewart Walker.
