about

Birth Light is the first full-length release from electronica newcomer Valhalla Superdrive. Blending heavily rhythmic and decidedly funky bass and drums with animated snyths, atmospheric flourishes and instrumental embellishments, Valhalla Superdrive creates a rich, layered instrumental sound that encourages movement and mayhem and delivers a fresh take on electro, dance, drum & bass and experimental electronica. Valhalla Superdrive is the infant child of Kel Alexander, a lifelong musician and visual artist. Weened on years of conventional band-based musical exploration via the bass, guitar, keys and vox and classically trained in orchestral woodwinds, Kel’s recent foray into the world of beat making and production has been cathartic, finally giving him a solo compositional outlet for his musical expression. Birth Light emerged over the dreary holiday season of 2020 and the American political unrest of early 2021. Birth Light’s upbeat, dance-you-ass-off groove aesthetic thumbs its nose directly at its underlying cultural backdrop of sorrow and unease, providing welcomed solace and buoyancy in a very troubled time.
