On July 21st, the world will once again be reminded of the artistic prowess of the exceptional techno artist alice.km. With the impending release of her new EP, The Back Beat, on Eclipse Red label, she’s showcasing a variation in her sound by crafting up techno singles that she’s ready to show to the world.

On top of this, alice.km had the honor of providing direct support for renowned artists Marsh and Sacha Robotti.
The Back Beat EP is more than just a new release. It represents the journey of a human going through an evolution – who crafted sound into stories, and who doesn’t forget that it’s not about the goal, it’s about the journey.
