Hvywght x 10 Years of 1985: Alix Perez

Alix Perez celebrates ten years of 1985 Music with a 140 special, bringing the label’s bass-first signature to HERE at Outernet, Charing Cross Road, London, on 4 September 2026. Fresh from his Sabotage LP, he steps out of pure drum and bass into the slower zone he’s been shaping lately, where space, sub pressure and crisp drum design set the pace. Known for threading melody through shadowy textures, he treats 140 as a field of precision: tightened grooves, restrained atmospheres, and low-end that takes the lead.

On the night, expect connections between dubstep, halftime and the wider 1985 catalogue. New Sabotage material reworked for 140, deep percussive cuts, and a few unreleased 1985 dubs are likely to surface, all delivered with the clean, weighty mixdowns he’s built his name on. Drops that open into pockets of silence, basslines that breathe, flashes of soul under the grit — his trademarks, just slowed to let each detail land. A label milestone traced in real time by its founder, focused on the sound that has quietly anchored 1985 from the start.
