The personal data sheet of Alex Flatner is abuzz famous projects, collaborations, labels and worldwide venues while he mostly remains the quiescent gentleman behind the scenes. Meeting him without knowing his remarkable stages of success would rather draw a picture of a congenial guy who has seen quite a lot of places worldwide and is convinced about himself but he rarely points out what he reached so far. To meet Alex is like seeing a long time friend and one would be quite surprised that Alex runs several prosperous labels, works as A&R manager, producer and DJ all over the globe.
Flatner’s mode of pure understatement factors out several facts which have to be mentioned talking about a matchless track record in music business: Besides being A&R manager at Daredo Music for stuff like Harthouse, Plastic City and some more quality essentials and running his own imprints Gedankensport, Monoid and Circle Music he has a broad ranged output taking course parallel to his full time multitasking business and travels throughout the countries every weekend. Last year he released a fabulous mix CD linked with touring through France, India, Spain, Croatia, Germany, Poland and Russia.
Alex made a great effort signing artists as Sebastien Leger, Stryke & Santos, Southsoniks, Piemont, Paul Mac, Leandro Gamez, Bryan Zentz and Gui Boratto for his Circle Music imprint.
Being “stage director” and producer he has recently remixed Gui Boratto’s “Atol” (Harthouse), Darren Kay (Familirize) and Tommy Four Seven’s “Smoke” (Brique Rouge), cooperates with the likes of Alexander Koning (Familirize), Deafny Moon and Lopazz (Circle Music/
Get Physical), DJ Stereo aka Noname (Gedankensport), Anderson Noise (Brazil’s most famous DJ),and Jesse Somfay, appeared on “Active Agent” (Harthouse Label Compilation) or Sander Kleinenberg’s “Renaissance Compilation” and reached Beatport Top 30!
He seldom talks about current projects like the next Gedankensport release of “Stereo & Flatner” or the next steps at Circle Music (Mike Litt Mix-CD) and Monoid…he always remains the chary guy - don’t dare to underestimate the power behind the curtains
