Boris Alexander aka Alex Sword

About Me

Boris Alexander Pipiorke aka Alex Sword started buying studio gear back in 1996. Only two years later he had his first record release on a German club label.
After a couple of releases on labels like Compressed (run by Michael Burkat), SOK, GAMB, Intensiv and Shokoy he started producing together with Tobias Menguser aka John Chevalier. Their first production was released in March 2002 on the re-launched label Phuture Wax (label of Tom Wax).
The track Daumenschraube was one of the favourite tracks of DJ Rush, who played the track at the Siegessäule during the Loveparade 2002 in Berlin. The track was also licensed to the very successful U 60311 compilation (mixed by DJ Rush).
The first Alex Sword EP raised some serious attention. The track Point Six was played very often at the well known YOUFM Clubnight Radio Show - hosted by the DJs Tom Wax and Karotte. The Track was found as well on the playlist of Tom Novy at the mega event Mayday and even the French DJ legend Laurent Garnier likes and plays it!
Since the beginning of 2006 Boris started working with Tom Wax and a couple of tracks and remixes had been produced so far.
Boris DJ career started back in 2002 with the success of the project Sword & Chevalier and the release Daumenschraube. Meanwhile he had bookings at the Streetparade in Zurich, where he played at the Colors of Life Lovemobile and in the SFDRS-radio. Furthermore he played at the Ubar in Frankfurt (U 60311), at the Airport in Würzburg, Nature One, Cocoon Club, the radio show YOUFM Sounds, YOUFM Clubnight and in many different clubs during the Phuture Wax Relaunch Tour. He had as well a couple of gigs in European countries such as Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Switzerland, Estonia and Latvia.
