Alan Abrahams a.k.a. Bodycode, has been in motion his whole life—growing up in South Africa, coming of age in London, decamping to Lisbon, and finally settling in Berlin—and his deeply syncopated brand of electronic dance music has evolved with every step of the journey. As Bodycode, Abrahams harnesses his desire to “unlock the psyche via the body,” layering martial tech-funk with gorgeous wisps of melody, heady effects, and a liberal wash of otherworldly vocal samples. Somewhere between the beats for the body and melody for the soul, Abrahams believes, lies the Bodycode.
To celebrate the recent release of his latest LP, Immune, for Spectral Sound, XLR8R Magazine talked to Alan about some of the native South African rhythms that inspired his music. Read the article and watch the youtube videos.
