    From ancient Gelderland and its city of new church, Alex O’Rion rises “Around Us”. A glittering edifice with crisp percussive foundations and bassline shines with melodic intensity. Sonically shifting, motifs echo into the distance with grace and poise, pervading the senses they fill the aural space with ease.


    The age of “Envy” is brought into sharp focus with metronomic rhythmic force. Hypnotic and alluring, shakers fill the air with timing and precision while rippling keys add lightness of touch soaked in reverberated reflections and exquisite melancholy. An antidote to base emotion found in pure musical formulation.


    “Ukko” reigns from above, the god of the sky unleashes thunderous musical expression. Cavernous bassline patterns rumble across the lower frequencies while resonant effects shatter the sonic
    landscape with pulsating white noise swells. Sunlit sonic motifs emerge from the gloom in resplendent fashion to ease the oppression from the skies.

  • BLOOM RECORDS PODCAST 216 - ALEX O'RION

    https://soundcloud.com/alexorion

    Hailing from a long line of talented Dutch producers, Alex O’Rion is one of the brightest stars to recently emerge on Hernan Cattaneo’s SUDBEAT label.

    He started to experiment with music at 14 year old and was inspired by the likes of Sasha, Nick Warren and John Digweed. Although his first appearance was in the trance scene, Alex soon found out that deep progressive music was his passion.

    The switch to progressive house was a massive decision and a very successful one. Alex has released over 150 tracks on beatport and has the ongoing support of many big names like Hernán Cattáneo, Nick Warren, Guy J, Cid Inc, Eelke Kleijn, Guy Mantzur, Quivver amongst others.

    After his debut EP on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat in 2018 things started looking really bright for the Dutchman. Later that year he delivered two more EP's for Sudbeat. Every track of those releases made it into the beatport top 100 best selling tracks with no less than 3 tracks in the top 10.

    In 2019 he signed his first EP on Nick Warren's beloved HOPE recordings. 'Timeless' instantly landed in beatport's top 10 and got supported by the biggest names out there. Alex had no intentions of slowing down and released his music on the highly respected REPLUG label hosted by Dan Orsen and Cid Inc. At the end of 2019 he will make his debut on Movement Recordings and will be represented worldwide by Movement Bookings as well.

    This year saw Alex also notching up live appearances as a dj. He played on Sudbeat’s Showcase in Amsterdam’s Westergasfabriek and will also perform during ADE, plus notable appearances at Nature One Festival in Germany, Ministry Of Sound in London and Es Paradis in Ibiza.

  • PREMIERE: Graham Gold, Samotarev - Rising (Graham Gold Mix) [ASYMMETRIC RECORDINGS]

    Asymmetric welcomes legendary UK DJ and radio presenter Graham Gold, who joins forces with The Green Snake Records Group owner Samotarev for this fine EP.

    Starting off with Grahams own version of Rising, this melodic deep driver really packs a punch, full of energy and beautiful layers. Big!

    Samotarev's version of Rising takes us deeper and more hypnotic, with a swagger and a great build. A wonderful compliment to Grahams version.

    Zombi & Maydan team up on remix duties delivering a sophisticated deep throbbing rework, utilising teh elements from both versions and morphing them in to a new slant. Hot!

    Graham is up next again with his version of Blue Camels. No messing about here with its pace and vibe, this is a rocker!

    While rounding off this EP, Samotarev's version keeps the fierceness, and draws you in with its wonderful journey like flavours.
