In conjunction with emerging talent, Alex has also worked with critically acclaimed artists like Basement Jaxx, Andrew Ashong, Oscar Peterson and Holly Cook, Dark Sky, Throwing Snow, Loefah & D Bridge. Each element he’s worked on and artist he has worked with, has allowed Alex to expand and elaborate on his own journey and development as a DJ and producer. Alex’s professional career began at Trinity College of Music, where he was awarded a full scholarship to study classical guitar and double bass. As a producer and composer, he’s written bespoke music for brands such as GQ, Vogue, The Ritz Carlton, Viacom, and the West One Music label. He has performed at a variety of venues and festivals including, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Samphire Festival, XOYO, Royal Albert Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall, The Barbican as well as live broadcasts on the BBC. Alex has always seen his own repertoire as being directly influenced by the club scene, with a respectful nod to his classically trained roots. This led to him releasing his first solo EP ‘First Relic’ in 2020, which gathered notable support from Ame, Richie Hawtin and Sasha – who featured a track in his April ReConnect set for Beatport.
