Alex Under

artist image

Dj and producer, he created the CMYKmusik label in 2001, participating in 2004 in the creation of NET28, a platform that pretends to develop the music scene in Madrid. His productions are based on deconstruction, variation and fun with always an eye on avant-garde. This personal sound made possible a 5/5 puntuation on the DE:BUG magazine for all his releases, while he has also been on charts of many dj’’s all over the world, getting a positive feedback from Richie Hawtin, Thomas Brinkmann or Michael Mayer.

Recently came out the first of a three releases series on the german label Trapez, and also a track on the Brüchstuecke sub-label SUN (SUN03), while he is proud to announce is new conceptual label, Bemysheep. In his dj sets Alex Unders offers dancefloor oriented music that induces to mental exercise. Minimal techno, house, acid… no limits and no prejudices.

The deepest meaning of ‘collage’, defined by Max Ernst, is the general application of Arthur Rimabaud’s ‘delirium’: “I accustomed myself to simple hallucination; I saw quite deliberately a mosque instead of a factory, a drummer’’s school conducted by angels, carriages on the highways of the sky, a salon at the bottom of a lake: monsters, mysteries, a vaudeville poster raising horrors before my eyes”. We could describe collage as an alchemic compound of two or more heterogeneous elements, derivate by their unexpected approximation generated deliberately by the search of systematic confusion and distorted perception.

That’s Alex Unders” musical universe. Based in Madrid, this producer is the ‘CMYK’ label manager. He is also one of the men behind ‘Apnea’ and ‘Bemysheep’, and one of the founders of Net28 (the net behind these labels and others like ‘Cyclical Tracks’ and ‘Pulpa’).
