Ever since Alexander Popov turned heads with his debut album ‘Personal Way’, he’s been looking for the right idea to turn into its follow-up. Inspired by the notion of human intention through modern philosophic books, the Russian DJ, producer and label owner translated his new-found insights into an assembly of peerless singles and amazing collaborations. The result: a wonderful second album. ‘Intention’.

From the high-octane title track ‘Intention’ and Alexander Popov’s mighty collaboration with Armin van Buuren called ‘Popcorn’ to a truckload of other unreleased tracks such as ‘Always Connected’ (with LTN), ‘Nothing Is Over’ (with Natalie Gioia and Attila Syah) and ‘In My Arms’ (with Arston), ‘Intention’ sees Alexander Popov head down the path he paved himself while cementing his place amongst dance music’s finest. His intention is to turn the world into one giant dance floor, and that’s exactly what this album is slated to accomplish. ‘Intention’: check. Execution: check. Brilliant album: double-check.
