The all-around "experience" of listening to music can parallel a journey of varied sorts. In Alex Niggemann's case—it parallels a really good storybook.The German DJ and producer considers the development of music "like the plot of a good book." In his case, the book is his new EP Abaton—a handful of multi-faceted tracks with a melancholic essence. The German maestro's release follows the success of his previous tracks (Poker Flat and Compost Black Label) and continues to convey an equally genre-defying sound.His track "Tripping Minds" would be the plot twist in this swirling novel of chameleonic sonic expression. It travels through a nostalgic maze of rhythms and leaves you elated with the idea that "something may be coming." A cliff hanger track that will slip effortlessly into the next; so to continue the elaborate and somber musical story being heard.Alex Niggemann's EP Abaton is due out on both vinyl and digital on October 20 through AEON. You can follow Alex on his SoundCloud and Facebook for more releases, events and updates.
