Alex Kunnari - Code Black

Review by Paul Hutchinson

Code Black, the latest album from Finnish DJ and producer Alex Kunnari, is a high-energy and dynamic collection of trance and progressive house tracks that will have listeners dancing from start to finish. With its pulsing beats, soaring melodies, and expertly crafted soundscapes, Code Black is a testament to Kunnari's skill as a producer and his ability to push the boundaries of electronic music.

The album opens with the title track, "Code Black," a propulsive and hypnotic track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Kunnari takes listeners on a journey through a range of moods and styles, from the dreamy and atmospheric "Lifter" to the driving and anthemic "Escape."

Throughout the album, Kunnari displays a keen ear for melody and harmony, weaving together intricate synth lines and emotive chord progressions that create a sense of euphoria and uplift. Tracks like "Oceanic" and "Scream" showcase Kunnari's talent for crafting massive, festival-ready anthems that are sure to ignite crowds around the world.

At the same time, Kunnari never loses sight of the emotional core of his music, infusing tracks like "Backstabber" and "Innocent" with a sense of melancholy and introspection that balances out the album's more bombastic moments.

Summary by Paul Hutchinson

Code Black is a triumph of electronic music, showcasing Alex Kunnari's talent and versatility as a producer. Whether you're a die-hard trance fan or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to have something for everyone. Highly recommended.
