Reckonwrong

Reckonwrong is a the pseudonym if Alex Peringer, a young artist from London who, via a stint in Amsterdam studying composition under Richard Ayres, has landed back in his home city with fresh eyes and ears.

His music tumbles through a tragicomic club zone, riding ear-worm hooks into to the nether regions of wave and soundsystem music. Though not averse to a chin-scratch, it’s from sweatbox dancefloors that he draws his most potent creative energies, and that kinetically orientated mentality has fed back into a urgent and volatile sonic signature that balances depth with immediacy.

Peringer’s music found an appropriate home on Young Turks’ Whities imprint, and tracks such as ‘The Passions Of Pez’ and ‘Half a Pill’ saw his voice step out of the shadows and into the foreground. With it, an exuberant personality emerged.

Peringer has collaborated with Lauren Auder, Caroline Polachek and Oliver Sim.

“Whities 018 feels like a forgotten, forlorn post-punk gem, with some modern production flourishes.” – Resident Advisor
