Villager is a project from prodigious DMV-based producer Alex Young, permeating the globe since its inception, with support from Four Tet, Jamie XX, Bonobo, Floating Points, A-Trak, Flying Lotus, Jacques Greene, Salute, Bicep, and with five EP releases on label imprints via Boys Noize and Chloe Robinson. In a print interview from 2022, Future Music Magazine described Villager’s sound as “taking cues from the richly textured electronica of artists like Four Tet and Jon Hopkins, repurposing club rhythms into detailed, emotive music that rewards closer listening.” Released February 16, 2024, Villager’s latest EP Sculptor exemplifies this, a crowning achievement in his young but storied career. The EP was embraced widely with global radio support and #1 position on the Beatport Bass/Club charts. Villager’s recent live dates in the US have included support with Sammy Virji, Barry Can’t Swim, and Ross From Friends, and he is now poised for a string of debuts across the globe.
