Born and raised in Berlin's beautiful "green district" Koepenick, he first
fell in love with music when he saw the movie "Beat Street".
He started playing/mixing records with tape decks & old turntables and
became a passionate breakdancer. His Hip-Hop mixtapes even got him to
play on the local East-German radio and after the wall came down he finally
was able to get hold of some technics and lots of vinyl ... He began
spinning at parties and played with a Hip-Hop crew called "No Solo".
In the early 90's Jungle came from London to Berlin and Alex was absolutely
hooked by the phat bass and rolling beats of the sound that got played by
the likes of Kemistry & Storm at locations like the legendary "Toaster". It
inspired him a lot and he wanted to create his personal version of this
exciting music. He got himself some used analog equipment and started
finding his own Funk, Jazz and Hip-Hop influenced style.
Hey Alex, hope all's well with you mate. I don't think I ever gave you a copy of this set. Its got a couple of your tunes in it - of course. ;) Sorry it took so long for me to get it to you. Better late than never right? Enjoi!
My favorite track on it is System of Survival. The first breakdown is amazing (with the little crossfader action in it) and the drop. It comes in so smooth. Then the sound of like a burping guy (best way i could describe it). Either way, great work again!
angel's a cheeky lil number init!
