Album of the Month - Radio Fabrik, Austria
Five Stars - Side Line, Belgium
Five Stars - Underground Press, South Africa

Alex V (aka Siren313) grew up in SW Detroit in the 80s.  He is of German and Hungarian decent.  His community was working class and multicultural. 

Alex grew up listening to Classic Rock, Motown, New Wave, Swing, Electro-Funk, Early Hip Hop, Techno and Industrial.  He was also influenced by ethnic music and the Fluxus art movement

Jack White, Diana Ross and Lilly Tomlin graduated from his high school, Cass Tech.  Indeed, Jack and Alex were in the same grade.  When Alex was a kid he used to listen to Jeff Mills and The Electrifying Mojo on the radio.  While working at Greenfield Village, he was fortunate enough to meet Rosa Parks.

In the 90s while living in Detroit, some of his hangouts included: Leland City Club, Luna, Ascension UK, @critical, The Shelter, Room 213 in Windsor where he more than once sipped coffee with Ritchie Hawtin and many other then emerging greats on the Detroit/Windsor techno and industrial scenes. 

He was played on the radio as early as 1993 on WDBM, CJAM, WHFR and WCBN.  Apraxia published the first demo in 1995, and was featured on a string of compilations in the 90s and 00s.  Among them are the Chain DLK Compilation vol 3 published in Italy, Detroit Electronica Coalition vol 2, Twin Cities ElectroPunk vol 2 and many others. 

Alex has collaborated with Gabe Gonzales from the P-Funk All-Stars, Lolly-Pop, Laura Hillman from Somegirl, and hEADACHE.  In between albums Alex played drums with a band called Ceoxime which opened for Pigface and God Lives Underwater. 

Apraxia played shows with Shiny Toy Guns, All the Pretty Horses, Screaming Mechanical Brain and many others.  Apraxia played after-parties for Ministry and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival

Alex interviewed Paul Robb from Information Society on KFAI in March of 2009.

Alex spent a short time as an intern at Harmonie Park Studios.  His music has been used in television commercials for Dearborn Music and Yazaki North America

Alex scored and did the music direction for a cult movie called Shadows on the Wall which notably featured the music of Stromkern, Endless Blue, Envy is Blind, and Brainclaw

In 2007 Alex was given an awarded by the Southern Poverty Law Center and added to the Wall of Tolerance for his work fighting the distribution racism, extremism and ethnic hate online.

Now Alex lives in Minneapolis.  Since arriving he has published the most recent and most popular CD in the catalog, Trite Permission.  Trite was given 5 stars by Side Line Magazine and became Album of the Month on Radio Fabrik in Salzburg Austria. 

If you want to hear Apraxia locally, try KFAI, Hard Mondays or The Chamber.  It's also been added at college and community radio and featured on podcasts and webcasts like IPM Radio

The forthcoming album, theGrid() is expected in Jan 2010.  In the interim, Apraxia released a collection of rarities and new tracks called Protoform.

Alex does 99% of the production in his home studio using primarily Roland and E-MU synths.  However he has been known to experiment with pots and pans and electronic toys

We'll play some older material that hasn't been heard in awhile, as well as some brand new songs that've never been heard. All bets are off!! We'd love it if you'd come down and listen/party with us!

Slabs of the Tabernacle NYE Party @ La Cheetah Club (formerly The Twisted Wheel) 31/12/09

Mark du Mosch (Moustache Records - Rotterdam)
Electrick Dragon LIVE (Rotterdam)
Casionova (Cyber Dance Records, Magic Waves, IFM)
Slabs of the Tabernacle DJs

Headlining the New Year party we welcome back Mark du Mosch. This will be his third time at Slabs so it's fair to say that we have much respect for the Rotterdam artist. An obsessive collector, Mark's DJ sets manage to be intriguing and hard rocking in equal measures, and we really couldn't think of anyone better to headline the New Year extravaganza.

Joining Mark will be fellow Rotterdamer Ricky the Dragon, performing a rare live set as Electrick Dragon. Having put out records dating right back to the early 90s (under many many aliases), Ricky carries with him some proper techno credentials. With his most recent output on Moustache Records he has produced two epic synth party bombs that are now firm favourites of ours. We first caught the Dragon live show at the Magic Waves festival earlier this year and it blew us all away, and so are delighted to welcome Ricky to Glasgow for his first Scottish performance.

And finally, making the trip up from Brighton will be the Italo battle axe Casionova. Over the past two years Casionova has become a permanent fixture at Slabs of the Tabernacle. His DJ sets are straight from the heart affairs and again we couldn't think of a better guest to see off 2009.
