alka is bryan michael.
Experimenting in a genre largely criticized for it's lack of emotion, alka blends styles to create music that is both melancholic and uplifting; synthetic yet melodic. Alka's music is vast enough to go well with wide open spaces or condensed urban settings... it is the place where lucidity and obscurity meet.
the 99x/10 sampler is still available, get a physical copy here:
