Alix Perez (Belgium/NZ) and Eprom (USA) are SHADES. Celebrating ten years as pioneers of sound system music, SHADES has grown to become one of the most influential artists in bass. SHADES has developed into something akin to a cult since their inception, touring and headlining throughout the US, Europe and Australasia.

Following two successful full-length albums and EP releases on 1985 and Alpha Pup, they are poised to release their newest collection of tunes, entitled “The Lower World”, featuring four oppressively dark and intricate tracks.

In celebration of ten years of the duo-project, Shades is primed for a groundbreaking tour featuring their newest music: “that's not only a legitimate full-frontal assault in the same vein as tunes from that golden era of gluttonous bass and synths, but that embraces that ethos while giving it a more polished feel.” (XLR8R)
