Alex Blanco used to hear about ‘paying your dues’ and wonder what that meant. Now he knows! Born in delightful inner-city Liverpool, he moved to New York at the (not-so) tender age of 13, and took with him a love of house music, hip-hop and anything that makes people dance. It was two short years before he started DJing and has not looked back (it wasn’t a pretty sight!) He’s now been in London for over ten years, producing and DJing a variety of styles under dazzling array of pseudonyms, spanning everything from hip-hop, dancehall, early hard house and UK Garage to his current loves, funky house and jackin’ electro. In every scene he has works he commands support from the top-tier of DJs, clubs, labels and radio stations, including Radio 1, Kiss and Galaxy. Working full-time from his West London studio he currently produces and engineers a constant stream of both his own and other people’s tracks and remixes, currently working with DJs such as Oliver Lang, Seb Fontaine, Stretch Sylvester, Simon Eve, Zak Radak, Jon Carter, Jamie McHugh and Ian Hadassi, not to mention co-producing his acclaimed A+E Project series. So far in 2007 he has remixed the likes of Just Jack (the new single, No Time), the summer smashes Hands Up (by Out Of Office) and Bigger Than Big (by Super Mal feat. Luciana), the very first single on both the Dusted and Fierce Angels labels, not to mention having five tracks signed to compilations, including three collaborations with Seb Fontaine on the Type Volume 2 compilation. And that's just a sample. His first love has always been DJing, though, and after a three year lay-off, in 2007 he has already secured himself regular slots at Seb Fontaine’s classic Type event at The Cross in London (now celebrating its 6th year), not to mention guest slots at Turnmills, SE1, Eden (Ibiza), Italy’s huge Festa Sul Lago outdoor event and a host of other nights. His trademark hands-in-the-air approach shines through as he gives every gig 100% (it’s not unusual to see him cut the sound to let the punters sing-a-long, stage dive from the DJ booth or even run out into the crowd to dance to a track he loves). And when he’s not leaping around whipping up the crowd into a frenzy, he is using his hip-hop and studio knowledge to scratch, remix, blend and rock beats using SL1200s, CDJ1000s and Ableton Live 6.”
