Alex Barck is set to release his solo debut Reunion through Sonar Kollektiv on October 7.

The 12-track record is a deep, honest and never ending love for music. ‘Oh Africa’ features probably the most famous La Reunion-based singler Christine Salem, and the track is said to be “a tribute to Barck’s temporary adoptive home and a declaration of love to a whole continent.” Swedish singer Jonatan Bäckelie aka Ernesto co-wrote three tracks on Reunion: soulful opener ‘Doubter’, ‘We Get High’ and ‘Don’t Hold Back‘ – a euphoric dancefloor anthem, that contrary to its title, celebrates the coitus interruptus until it hurts. The album retains a family atmosphere with fellow Sonar Kollektiv artists featuring on a number of tracks. Pete Josif, vocalist in The White Lamp, guests on Alex’s first 12” single ‘Re-Set’ and album cut ‘Spinning Around’, FETSUM appear on ‘Why & How’ and Stee Downes on ‘Like A Drug’.

‘Reunion’, the 11 minute instrumental title track closing the album, is the final comment on Barck’s adventure. Expansive and unhurried, its conclusion dissipates with crashing cymbals so enchanting you find it hard to fathom that as well as being a passionate, challenging and often revolutionary DJ for twenty years, being part of Jazzanova and Prommer & Barck as well as being A&R Sonar Kollektiv manager, Alex Barck has also worked as a respected selector, compiling several acclaimed and trendsetting series (Secret Love, Computer Incarnations etc.)

For now the album is unavailable to stream, so until we get a public sound you can check out some more of his stuff here to get you hyped!
