Alan Abrahams (aka Bodycode) is a restless spirit. His tracks have
itchy feet and busy brains, chugging along at a brisk clip while
cramming in enough rhythmic detail that make one’s head spin. Alan grew
up in post-Apartheid South Africa, where polyrhythmic percussion first
entered his bloodstream; he then lived in Portugal for years, sweating
it out in Lisbon’s club scene while absorbing the sounds of electronic
dance music and releasing tracks via numerous aliases. Three years
after releasing 2006’s The Conservation of Electric Charge on Spectral
Sound, the man known as Bodycode moved from Lisbon to Berlin. Now,
Teutonic house music’s taut, jacking rhythms form the core of Immune,
Alan’s new full-length as Bodycode.
A rubrica mensal "A Quinta Dimensão" no MusicBox é programada pela
promotora/editora variz.org e tem como residente a dupla TRA$H
CONVERTERS (Miguel Sá + Fad!gaz).
