 Alex´s dj-sets, full of energy and devotion, turned dancefloors into total excess since 1992. his versatile selection of tracks, ranging from minimal to more hard edged technotracks, always develop a flow by keeping his very own but versatile style. The co-founder of toneman always gets people on his side until the last record has been played, mostly after several hours of extreme-partying. This approach to music is the result of a long career in the underground dance music industry, which began in the early 90's when spinning different kinds of dance music in his hometown and neighboring cities. in the very beginning, he recalls introducing early techno into his sets with moderate success, but he nevertheless dedicated his entire career to techno music. alex's musical aspirations have been inspired by composers such as roland orzabald (tear for fears), martin gore (depeche mode) and more ebm or 80ies synthiepop acts just to name a few.In his sets, alex obeys to the old-school ethics of not just playing the hits but creating a story, even if he sometimes has to squeeze the whole set into a couple of hours. his experience as a radio- and club-resident dj from 1994 to 1996 and later on gigs throughout germany, austria, switzerland, czech republic, croatia, yugoslavia, hungary, poland, holland, canada or even romania or brasil has led him to win the hearts of an audience that is constantly growing in number. no matter what country on the world, booking alex means booking high quality, always grooving, sometimes minimal, sometimes hard techno that is brought to the audience by an artist with extraordinary solid skills on the decks paired with a huge amount of entertainment factor by the dj himself. this has also enabled him to apply his dance floor knowledge in the production studio where he creates potent club tracks with his partner and label mate sven dedek under monikers as basic implant, electric envoy and alex bau when these are his proper productions. Especially his first album “connected” was a clear statement by alex how “pure techno” looks like on his definition: versatile, entertaining, dancefloor-compatible and technically produced on the maximum level. no wonder that “connected” appears in the playlist of numerrous top-dj`s. Alex has released eps for fine audio, parasound, energy industries, rotation (dave angel's), toneman (his own), clr (chris liebing`s), pv-records (pascal feos), predicaments (justin berkovi`s) and default recordings. beside this he has remixed tracks for chris liebing and pascal feos. in addition to producing tracks for labels all around the globe, alex always consists on being recognized as a dj in a different kind of view beside the fact that of course his production style also reflects his musical preferences – pure techno, sometimes minimal, sometimes fat. in his eyes, the quality of a dj can not be measured with the number of releases… Web: www.alexbau.de |
