Veteran American DJ-producer Amir Alexander has released a trap and hip-hop album as Ricky Spitzz.

Alexander learned to DJ and produce in Chicago, and his music has taken him through San Francisco, Berlin, and Malmö, Sweden. He released his first records through the mid-to-late noughties, pushing a rich deep house sound, and he’s since put out work on Secretsundaze and, more recently, Thomas Melchior’s My King Is Light. His second of two albums came in 2018 on Just Jack Recordings, based in Bristol, United Kingdom.

Ricky Spitzz, Alexander’s trap alias, first surfaced in 2019, and The Hour of The Time is the project’s first album. Its title is drawn from Bill Cooper’s shortwave radio show that it’s dedicated to. It aims to assist the listener in “waking up” to the true realities of the “socially engineered matrix of lies we were all born into.”

The album comes on Vanguard Sound!, Alexander’s label specializing in deep house and techno, but also any left-of-center sound.
