The Mothership has entered the atmosphere.
Alpha Transmission is an artist we know and support all too well. You may remember the INSANE mix he did for us to close out the year-that-shall-not-be-named. A mastermind behind both the production table and the visual arts, we always HIGHLY anticipate the heaters and vibes that Alpha Transmission beams down to our atmosphere. This time around he teams up with the fam over at Wubaholics to provide the aura of energy that is “Recollect.”
In regards to working with Wubaholics, we’ve DM’d on Twitter since late fall of last year and they wanted one of my tracks to release and we finally found time that worked for both of us. They’re the Florida homies and they’ve been super supportive of a lot of my stuff in the past and I’m hype to have something out with them finally.
Starting with prominence, Alpha Transmission lets you know he has just touched down on Planet Wub. A vocal sampled is hidden underneath the tones that slowly creeps up to the foreground to fully be embodied before the drops hits with a laser like lead chirping on top of a straight groove that’ll have you moving side to side with ease. “Recollect” will transport you right back on Mulberry Mountain like your right under the sun at Wakaan Fest, chilling on an inflatable couch at main stage with your best friends. The sample comes back in to bridge the next section of the track where Alpha dials in the the filth transmitters and turns the track up past, and smashing, our previous perceptions. But catch the vibe quick, as it doesn’t stay for long before Alpha masterfully creates a perfect ending to the track to bring it full circle and make you want to smash that replay button.
“As far as the track goes, it’s been a while since I wrote it but I think a lot of it originally came from making just a hip hop beat with some boom bap influence, maybe I was back on an MF DOOM kick at the time. I might have been writing an instrumental for an artist at the time and it all started with the drums and I started jamming with them and decided this track is mine now and just heard that main line in my head and cranked it out. I just wanted to write something that you can really bob your head and wag a finger to lol”
