Alex, aka Érratic, hails from Orléans in central France, where he has forged a remarkable career as a DJ and producer, specialising in Deep House and Minimal electronic music.
His musical journey began with the strings of a guitar, the thrum of a bass, and the harmonies of a keyboard, culminating in the formation of a rock band that graced the stages of bars and restaurants. However, it was the allure of electronic music that captured his heart when he moved from France to London, driven by his burgeoning career as a chef. An avid clubber, he immersed himself in the dance music scene, igniting connections with DJs from around the world.
Equipped with Traktor and a MIDI controller for Ableton Live, Alex began his DJing journey, initially spinning vinyl at weddings and friend’s parties. His dedication and passion soon led him to higher ground.
As a musician, Alex transitioned into the realm of hardware, embracing Dawless gear with a Roland-centric setup, featuring the TR-8, Jupiter XM, TB-3, TR-8S, Keystep Pro, and Blackbox. His devotion to Roland’s iconic sound is unmistakable, coupled with a penchant for 909 drums.
The last three years have seen him channel his creative energies into producing original tracks, gracing labels such as Symbiotical Records, Mole Records, Gliese Records, Fresh Take, and DNAM. He thrives on collaborations with fellow artists, predominantly within the realms of Deep Tech House and Minimal genres.
With a signature BPM range of 125 to 131, Alex creatively crafts his sonic tapestries with intricate minor 9th pads, dubby stabs, groovy basslines, and infectious housey chords. His compositions resonate with the spirit of legendary artists like Janeret, Frink, Dj Steaw, Kolter and iO (Mulen).
