Alex Dolby (1) 278 views 0 favorites Alex Dolby was born in the rich land of Ciociaria some years ago He got involved in music production after having attended several clubs nights around Italy. His influences have to be searched in djs as Lory-D, Speedy-j and Leo Anibaldi but also in the italian house protagonists as Ralf, Flavio Vecchi and Ricky Montanari. As soon as he got his own studio he started producing tracks which were the fusion of electronic and house music. He worked hard and he reached his own style, the same characteristic music flavour that nowadays calls so much attention on him. It couldnt be not so natural the meeting with one of the craziest italian producer and in addition fellow countryman Santos. The guys met and the project Alex Dolby came to life. The first record signed Alex Dolby was Psiko Garden included in the From Ciociaria With Dub ep along with UNDO/REDO Driver Pink single on Mantra Vibes. This track caught the attention of several djs in the Uk and it got well received in clubs. With stron gsupport from people as Fluke DJs or Pete Tong who played Psiko Garden in his essential mix show on BBC RADIO 1. Second release was Hazy Way/Visionary Lake, long awaited worldwide which gained a lot of exposure and good reactions. Positive opinions came also about the remixes of Psyko Garden signed by legend John Acquaviva and Ashtrax. Then for his debut on Mantra Smiles Alex Dolby deliverred Untitled Valley, simply high quality progressive psiko funk. After that single which went sold out the name Alex Dolby got again on the verge with Hazy Way remixed by breakbeat master producers Evil 9. The record was among the best remixes of the year 2004 nominated as Best Remix Of The Year at the 05 Breakspoll Award and in Pete Tongs playlist for five weeks in a row and declared also Essential Tune Of The Week in november. Still nowadays this remix is among the most wanted ones. However Alex scored again the top of the club charts with his remix of INFUSION Girls Can Be Cruel which arrived again on the top of the UK Buzz Chart. Next step was Obsessive Sound immediately in Satoshi Tomiie playlistnow remixed by electro duo Niki B & Christian E.F.F.E. and italo wonder Ajello... and the brandnew "Instrumental Pleasure E.P.' about to be dropped on Mantra Vibes.

Airbase (1) 309 views 0 favorites The Airbase story begins in 1994 when he got his hands on the software Scream Tracker pitched to him by a Finnish cousin. A few years later, Airbase switched to better software that came highly recommended from others called Fast Tracker. The following years were kept busy with hard work which rendered numerous tracks, but also a lot of knowledge and understanding in how to produce, arrange and write melodies. With the first full time employment pay check received in early 2000, the first piece of hardware was bought, the Yamaha CS2x Control Synthesizer. For almost 2 years, a large number of tracks were created using the CS2x tool. However, with building frustrations, Airbase felt he could no longer bring anything new to his productions using only this piece of hardware. In 2001, a friend showed him the new exciting Swedish software, Propellerheads Reason. Soon after, Airbase flew right into producing with Reason, ditching Cubase in only days, using the CS2x as a midi keyboard only. In a short time with Reason, the track Airbase - Emotion had been created, which caught the attention of the German label Alphabet City. Airbase was offered his first record deal, and in early 2002, Emotion was released. During the wait for Emotion to get released, the track Genie was produced and was instantly chosen to be the follow up of Emotion. With support from the top jocks, requests for remixes and original records for other labels came pouring in. This has kept him constantly busy ever since. As of 2007, he is currently signed to labels such as Alphabet City, Armada, Platipus, Mondo Records, Kompressed Records, Gesture Music, Be Yourself Music, Afterglow, J00F Records and many more. Airbase has released almost 20 records and remixed over 40 artists, including Iio, Safri Duo, Matt Darey, Above & Beyond, Blank & Jones, Alex Morph and many more. The co-operation with Andre, his brother, resulted in First & Andre - Widescreen, which was also selected by ID&T to be the Sensation White Belgium Edition Anthem of 2005. The track was signed and released on Be Yourself Music, formerly known as the label of ID&T. With the releases came the requests for DJ bookings. A positive side effect since Airbase was already a pub/bar DJ since 1996. England, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Holland and Belgium are just a few of the countries where Airbase has performed in so far.
