Elderbrook, otherwise known as Alexander Kotz, is an English musician, composer and producer that has created a reputable name as a collaborator and now an artist in his own right.

Classically trained, he can play many instruments and uses a mixture of influences to define a sound that is truly unique to the Elderbrook brand. With a UK Dance chart number 1 to his name already, and mainstream chart success, he is already making a good name for himself and growing an eager fan base that are keen to hear more of what this amazing talent can produce. 

Numb has a tense beginning, with a beat that is reminiscent of a heartbeat, with a falsetto vocal, much higher in the mix than other comparable tracks, that builds and creates the tension. The development of the song is really exquisite, with extra vocals acting as backing and an extra dimension of percussion, this track is really special and puts a smile on your face. With great use of stereo sound and clever timings, you can tell that Elderbrook comes from a highly trained background as he crafts melodies with intricate levels that stick in your subconscious and produces a haunting vocal that is every bit as good as any other I’ve heard in dance tracks.

As the song breaks and builds, you can envisage this being played in clubs around the country and filling dancefloors with the blend of styles and genres that have allowed for ‘Numb’ to tick the boxes for not just the Elderbrook fan base, but I suspect will turn a lot more people on to this unique artist.
