About Me


CHECK OUT THE LIVE PERFORMANCES IN THE VIDEO SECTION!!!!Costas C.(a.k.a digital alkemist) is a natural born drummer brought up in a music family, he couldnt have chosen any other path in life but to get involved with music and consequently to study sound engineering, while practicing drums and music technology all along.
He started playing drums for many rock bands in the underground scene of Athens during the 90s to land in behind the drum kit of the well known rock band of Nightstalker.He also plays the drums for Night On Earth and Blends' band called Blend Sextet with participation of members of other well known Athenian bands. Along with drumming he involved himself with dj-ing spinning, rock, hip hop and later around '94 psychedelic trance. That was the time when he started some production experiments while his interest in electronic music was growing up inside.
After many years of listening and as his knowledge in music technology was expanding he thankfully got his very own home studio. His current freestyle music making has been the amalgamation of various influences ranging from jazz, breaks, d&b to latin and furthermore. In the meantime, he remixed tracks for the homemarket as well as abroad from bands like Echo tattoo & Illegal operation and artists like Blend, Saru,Timewarp inc. and others.
Digitals first release was on the Electric youth experiment compilation for Warehouse records when he started flirting with the creation of psychedelic trance. He carried on with completely different productions for the Mole Listening Pearls, Shadow records,Kriztal Entertainment, Zyx,Dsofa and other labels. In particular, his first release with Mole Listening Pearlsreached no.4 in the DCC CLUB CHARTS. Along with the Digital Alkemist project he has been involved in other projects too, like Dots & Frames (Fictionary sound design in abstract edited movies of city and nature), and Sub Santa.
Sub Santa: Tripped out dub and dreamy d&b have twisted Santa Claus into Sub Santa,offering an alternative perception of the evergreen spirit and giving a new dimension to our formerly known Christmas carols!!!....RELEASES:
