Alpha Rosa arrives with drum ’n’ bass pomp and circumstance on debut career single, ‘Mad Ting’
Alpha Rosa’s brand of drum ’n’ bass is percolating, bubbling up with idiosyncratic pomp and circumstance. His early career singles, “Mad Ting,” skitters on to digital streaming platforms courtesy of ShockOne’s Dark Machine Records, notable for distributing Alpha Rosa’s debut two one-offs. Frenetic beat work commands the frame on “Mad Ting,” which broadly underscores Alpha Rosa’s penchant for pervading the drum ’n’ bass sound with futuristic synthesizers. A rollercoaster of frequency and rhythm, “Mad Ting” is a heartening preview of the sound to increasingly come out of the Alpha Rosa camp, as the fledgling producer settles into the dance/electronic context, shows his face in its release ring, and, ultimately, makes drum ’n’ bass his own in a way that is pure unadulterated Alpha Rosa.
