BIOG:
30 yr old Alex Virr (aka Youthful Implants) started DJing drum n bass whilst at university in Manchester in 1996. After 2 years representing on the student scene and promoting a night called Beatific he returned to London and began working on a record stall in Camden selling nu skool garage and DnB alongside Ollie Moira of Hardcore Beats. From there he met Clayton from the south london based Trouble on Vinyl / Renegade Hardware studio who offered the opportunity to work for him both as a recording artist and consultant on fledgling breaks label Octagon. The Funkaholics were born with founding members Joe Grey and Tam Cooper (now known as Precision Cuts). An EP and two singles later the Funkaholics were receiving props from Adam Freeland, Tayo and Tipper in the early days of the nu skool breaks scene.
During this time the Funkaholics played sets around London for Chew the Fat, Renegade Hardware at the End and Mass. After an amiable split, the Funkaholcs were disbanded and Precision Cuts were born whilst Alex left London to pursue a career in graphic design. Three years later Alex returned to London in 2002 and soon after hooked up with DJ Jurassik to help mould the Supatronix sound and enjoys being resident at the Hoxton based monthly parties with Jurassik and the hugely talented Missmax.
Following guest slots on BreaksFM and NuSkoolBreaks radio and excited by the developing sounds and continuing diversity within the whole spectrum of breakbeat - Youthful Implants' sound now spans a broad musical range from the electro-oriented side of breaks to its more hardcore cousins. A hook up with producer extraordinaire Anti-Science saw new ideas and skills brought to the table in 2007 and these two have been combining Ants' superb mixdown capabilities with some of YIs' older material to produce some brand new forward thinking breaks released on new label Waveshape last year. 2007 also saw Alex release on Sango, Defbox, and NuLogic as his remixing skills gathered demand.
2008 will see Alex teaming up with old friend Ollie from Hardcore Beats to launch sister label Future Perfect with some fantastic new talent and genre blurring music. Supatronix's new venue Medicine Bar, Gt Eastern St, London EC2 is proving to be the perfect platform to showcase up and coming DJs in the bar upstairs as well as more established artists in the club downstairs and is fast developing into a commercial force to be reckoned with. Supatronix is 1st saturday of every month and you can catch the Supa residents on www.nsbradio.co.uk from 5pm - 7pm every saturday evening.
