- James Alexander : Head of respected record label "FRIENDS ELECTRIC" DJ Producer J Alexander's creative blend of soulful Techno, Tech-House and Minimal is spending across the globe. Remixers such as KENNY LARKIN, DAN CURTIN, and VINCE WATSON are curre..James Alexander started his DJ career at the tender age of 14 as a stand in for his brother at the legendary UK club night "KAOS". Even then he was an accomplished classical guitarist, having traveled to Andalusia in the previous year to play and learn from some of the Flamenco guitar masters. But it was his love for electronic music that continued throughout the 90’s, teaming up with another local DJ; James Bennett, to create the DJ partnership that was "JamesandJames". They rocked clubs around the UK for many years, including a 4 year residency at "Oslo Club", during which MTV’s "Clubland UK" placed JamesandJames's Saturday night set in the top 10 of UK’s best club nights!? The mid 00’s saw the musical compass point directly to Berlin and James was soon to follow after being signed to Berlin DJ agency and events company - "FAMOS". After working his way up the overcrowded Berlin minimal scene, James set up his own musical imprint in 2006 named "Friends Electric Records". Friends Electric stands proud in 2010 with 12 artists including major international talents such as: Kenny Larkin, Dan Curtin, Dirt Crew, Benno Blome, Ronald Christoph, Sweet N Candy and Vince Watson. James, now under the production name of "J Alexander", continues to produce, remix and write his own blend of Techno and Tech-House. His productions can be heard across the globe, supported by the biggest names from across the electronic spectrum; Derrick May, Dave Seaman, Laurent Garnier, Nic Fanciulli and Timo Mass, are to name but a few DJs that have supported his work and that of his label. J Alexander’s talents have taken him out of the European arena and placed him firmly onto the world stage, including a tour of China in the summer of 2009. As the decade came to a close, it rang to the sound of “Relentless” – his most recent single released in December (including a stunningly deep remix by Benno Blome) and achieved sales and airplay across the world. His forthcoming releases will feature remixes by some of the worlds best producers including : KENNY LARKIN, VINCE WATSON, SWEET N CANDY and DAN CURTIN̸2006 : Reaction / Goya : Friends Electric Records 2007 : REMIX (Anorak DJs : The Presser) : Unknown Jukebox 2008 : Streaming : Unknown Junkebox 2008 : Kinematic (with Steve Cole / Tagträumer2 Remixes) Friends Electric Records 2009 : REMIX (Hairy Hat Man : Miyagis Magic) Friends Electric Records 2009 : REMIX (Daniel Munkelberg : Digam) Friends Electric Records 2009: Relentless (including BENNO BLOME & STEVE COLE remixes) 2010: Constant Dynamics(includes SWEET N CANDY remix) 9/10 review in IDJ 2010: Endless (includes KENNY LARKIN remix) No in DMC zzub chats 2011: Reminisce/Words for the Wise (includes DAN CURTIN remix) 9/10 in IDJ 2011: Directions (includes VINCE WATSON remix) 2011: Phased (includes ALEX Q remix) 2011: REMIX of Tagträumer - Your Soul 2011: REMIX of Arabic by Andrey Bogdanov on SCHALLBOX Records *********************FER007************************FEEDBACK****************************************************** DJ feedback from Relentless single: Ivan Smagghe ‘ABSOLUTE MASSIVE FAN OF THE BENNO BLOME REMIX.
