There’s a lot you can say about the multi-talented artist/producer, The Alexsander. Keeping his identity seemingly anonymous, he draws inspiration from artists like Vangelis and all the way to Michelangelo. His debut track ‘Output’ was edited by Dutch superstar Sander Van Doorn, later the same year a collaboration with CamelPhat and releasing three singles marking his unorthodox techno-oriented sound.
In the past years, The Alexsander has received widespread support from techno and house legends including Adam Beyer, Black Coffee, Booka Shade, Maceo Plex, Groove Armada, Joris Voorn to Kölsch, Joseph Capriati, Danny Tenaglia, Marco Carola, and Jamie Jones, just to name a few.
The Swedish DJ, producer, and founder of Hypnotic Rhythm announced his latest offering ‘Her Crown’ EP, which was just released alongside some great remixes. Grab your copy here.
