Alex Ross Iver is a man who has been compared to countless artists in the past. Basement Jaxx, The Human League, Vangalis, Jean Michel Jarre and The Avalanches are just some of the names the electronic producer has been compared to in the past but as he proves in his latest single Four Room Song, Alex Ross Iver is a mixture of all the great electronic artists that have ever graced us with their unique dance floor sounds only with a little bit of added flair that makes him a force in his own right.

Four Room Song, released off Alex's Most Downloaded Songs MP3 compilation, is an experimental Indie-electro song that not only takes influence from a myriad of electronic artists but adds a futuristic Indie-pop vibe that is helped along by the strong, female vocals on the song. With slow, gentle beats plodding along at a steady pace, the track opens strongly and provides a sturdy platform on which to showcase the vocals. Steady and breathy, the vocalist sounds like a modern day Kylie Minogue so strong and bold is her range. It quickly becomes obvious that this kind of gentle techno track is the kind that ideally suits this woman’s vocals and
complements her well.


The beat of the song never really changes except to go slightly uptempo at every bridge before returning back to its steady beat as it moves onto the next verse. Although very simply composed, the song instantly captivates the listener with its pumped up bass line and seems to be over all too quickly. Just two minutes and twenty three seconds the track lasts for and considering that the beat very rarely changes tempo throughout, it is testament to the craftsmanship and compositioning skills of Alex Ross Iver that it seems to fly by so quickly.

Fusing cutting-edge beats with distorted vocal samples, Four Room Song paints soundscapes in the mind and takes Brian Eno’s concept of musical installations to another level for the 21st century. This is a sound that you will think you have heard before such is the gap in the market for a new breed of electro music but in fact, try to think of where you heard it and you will soon realise that there is nothing like this out there in the electro market at present. An amazing creative cocktail of dance rhythms and Indie Electronica on this single makes Alex Ross-Iver’s music impossible to pigeon-hole or easily categorise and proves to the world that the electro genre has not completely run out of ideas just yet.
