the whole biography
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, Jacques Greene, Salute, Bicep, and with five EP releases on label imprints via Boys Noize and Chloe Robinson. Now 27, at age 15 Alex Young was performing at EDC and touring with Skrillex, Diplo, and Cashmere Cat under the previous project bearing his name. This year, Villager has supported Sammy Virji and Barry Can’t Swim and is now poised for a global tour run on the strength of his recent releases. 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 and is a crowning achievement in his young but storied career. The response to the EP during the weekend of its release included over a dozen editorial playlists across DSPs, over 6,000 Spotify playlist adds, a top 20 Beatport chart position, and personal co-signs from Flying Lotus and A-Trak -- all signs that Villager has made an impact with this most recent project. Alex’s tracks, journey, and creative process have been chronicled by The Fader, BBC’s Maryanne Hobbs, Magnetic Magazine, Music Radar, Future Music, Mojo Magazine, and Willy Joy’s Back-To-Back Podcast. Villager is a vessel whose musical identity knows no bounds – see: writing and production credits on Halsey's double-platinum Manic, and more recently, a 24-track instrumental project Nowhere FM, produced over a couple weeks in 2023, which spans a range of styles and influences.Their RA profile lists Boysnoize Records and Pretty Weird Records.Recently at Highbar NYC, Café Balearica, Heaven Can Wait · often with SBTRKT, Tlim Shug, Leonce, none of them here that night
