VANDIT Welcomes Alexion & JD Farrell’s Latest Weapon
“Illusive Thoughts,” the new collaboration between Alexion and JD Farrell on VANDIT Alternative, is a masterclass in tension and release. The track builds from shadowy saw waves and rolling midbass into moments of pure euphoria, with hypnotic vocals threading through the mix like smoke.
These two Southeast producers – Alexion with his cinematic flair and Farrell bringing that ’90s-inspired progressive energy – have found something special here. The driving rhythm section keeps things moving while atmospheric breaks provide room to breathe, creating the kind of dynamic range that works as well at 2AM as it does at sunset.
Landing on Paul van Dyk’s imprint feels right for a track that bridges underground and mainstage sensibilities. Between Alexion’s recent cosigns from Martin Garrix and Alok, and Farrell’s outings on Nora en Pure’s Purified Records, these Atlanta natives are proving you don’t need a Berlin address to craft proper melodic techno.
