When Alex first started mixing in 1999 he could only dream about achieving so much so quick. After buying his first set of decks and teaching him himself how to mix, Alex's proficiency grew through sheer hard work and determination.
Summer 2004 was the real launch for Alex’s career when he stepped in for a cancellation at London’s Pacha nightclub, playing alongside Andy Manston & Ant Packham. Suffice to say the promoters were impressed enough with the superb technical skills and ability to work the crowd to offer a permanent slot. 4 more gigs followed at Pacha on the same bill as DJs Richard F (Subliminal)& Bobby and Steve and the gigs were flowing thick and fast, early gigs included London’s White House on New Years Day and Turnmills. The bigger the gigs the more Alex was rising to the occasion, March Bank Holiday he played to a packed Cross Club alongside Tall Paul and further gigs at Pacha, Canvas and Turnmills followed.
Just one guest slot for Bora Bora in Ibiza led to him being offered a daily residents slot at the infamous Beach bar and then resulted in a string of offers of gigs around the world. 2006 summer season saw Alex into his 2nd year as resident, his fame in Ibiza growing by the day he was then asked to play at the biggest club in the world Privilege for Xtravaganza and John Aquavivas nights, and topped off the season by playing at El Divinos closing party!
Highlights of 2006 include playing at the 1st superclub in the UAE (Enigma, Abu Dhab), Krakow and Warsaw in Poland, and a Spanish tour taking in 7 cities in 1.5 weeks! Not forgetting the entire summer season at Bora Bora and a new residency on the world tour with the world famous Smartie Partie.....sharing the decks with the likes of Danny Rampling, Tall Paul, Joey Negro, Erick Morillo, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Who Da Funk, CJ Mackintosh, John Aquaviva.....
With such a meteoric rise, 2007 looks set to be Alex's for the taking, with a packed diary of international dates including clubbing hotsopts Dubai, Austria, Poland and Spain and residencies at Smartie Partie and Subliminal Sessions in London. The future certainly looks bright and should give hope to other aspiring DJs that dreams can be achieved with the right passion and determination, combined with rather a large amount of skill.
