Entanglements
Acclaimed electronic music producer Alix Perez announces the release of his latest long player, Entanglements. This eagerly anticipated project showcases his innovative approach to the drum & bass genre, blending soulful melodies, intricate rhythms, and atmospheric soundscapes. Known for his ability to push the boundaries of electronic music, Alix Perez has once again delivered an album that resonates with both long-time fans and new listeners. Entanglements features a collection of tracks that seamlessly intertwine elements of hip hop, R&B, and ambient with the driving beats and deep basslines characteristic of drum & bass. Entanglements revisits my love for sampling and sample manipulation. Tinged in soulful tones, it is a melange of intertwining compositions that highlight the musical side of my production - Alix Perez

Dance With the Devil
Bristol-based producer and DJ 'Drone' present his album on 1985 Music. This 13-track long play, like his previous releases, continues to push the boundaries of underground dance and grime while retaining a sub-heavy, 808-laden coherence within his productions and selections, as anyone who has caught one of his sets can attest to.Since his first release on the imprint in 2020, Drone and his productions have grown from strength to strength. His debut EP 'Evil Sky' in 2021 received critical acclaim and support from all the leading figures in underground dance. His production work blurs the boundaries of trap, grime, and dubstep while enjoying support from the likes of Mala, V.I.V.E.K, and Kahn, it seems Drone's inimitable sounds are becoming favoured by both scene stalwarts and club-goers: an admiration which looks set to grow as he continues to produce thoughtful and original music that promises a reaction in the club. 'All I Know' feat. Nottingham's rising star Snowy kicks off the campaign and is a track that dominated the 2022 festival season. Calling on fellow production friends, this album also sees collaborations with label head honcho Alix Perez, Notion, Hyroglifics, and Deft. Kicking off 2023, Drone undertakes his first North American tour with a month of back-to-back performances and showcases of his new music ahead of release. He returns to the UK with a very special album launch party in his hometown Bristol before taking the party to the capital in early March.

Amor Fati
This groundbreaking 12-track project marks a defining moment for the Toulouse based artists who seamlessly blend a multitude of genres, pushing boundaries and defying expectations. With collaborations from some of the most exciting names in the scene - Alix Perez, Snowy, Chimpo, Strategy, and Trail - Amor Fati is a sonic journey like no other. After 5 great years of releasing music with 1985 Music, were very excited to release our debut album. This 13-track collection which weve spent 2 years working on and we cant wait to share it with the world. Amor Fati is a Latin phrase introduced by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche that may be translated as love of fate or love of ones fate . It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in ones life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary. This allows us to express our power, in order to flourish. For us this album represents who we are, in its entirety. Its an honour to have worked with all these artists who have influenced us during our journey in music and in life in general.
