Musician, producer and vocalist Alfa Mist has announced his new album, Roulette, out 3rd October on his own label, Sekito Records.  Roulette is a jazz-meets-hip-hop sci-fi concept album set in a dystopian near-future where reincarnation is a scientifically proven fact.  Conceived, written and produced by Alfa, the record also features New York rapper Homeboy Sandman, British soul star Tawiah, and vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Kaya Thomas-Dyke.

In tandem with today’s announcement, Alfa has shared double single, “9 Months” and “Avoid The Drones”.  9 Months features Alfa rapping about reincarnation from the point of view of Yara, the main character in his Roulette universe, whilst Avoid The Drones is a hypnotically beautiful instrumental number.  "In my world of short stories, where reincarnation is proven and real, 9 Months explores corruption over different lifetimes, and Avoid The Drones finds Yara attempting to hide who she was in a past life”, explains Alfa.

Additionally, Alfa has also unveiled a special headline show at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall on 25th November.  This hometown performance will be a unique opportunity for fans to catch him playing material from his previous releases plus several new songs from Roulette.  Tickets go on sale next Friday, 13th June.

Alfa Mist is one of the most forward-thinking artists in UK music.  The London-based composer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist moves effortlessly between jazz, hip-hop and classical music building unique sonic worlds.  Across his five previous critically-acclaimed albums - and collaborations with artists as varied as Loyle Carner, Tom Misch, Richard Spaven, London Contemporary Orchestra and Ólafur Arnalds - Alfa has eroded genre boundaries with his expansive vision.
