Alex from Tokyo (Innervisions/Berlin)
Begin March the right way with a night of funky beats and groovy tracks at Alter. Pres. Alex from Tokyo. Join us at Electric Circus in The Shanghai EDITION to dance away the February blues and welcome back Springtime Shanghai.
Paris-born, Tokyo-raised, Berlin-based DJ, music producer, sound designer, and world famous label owner are just a few of the titles of Alex From Tokyo.
Alex formed the unit “A Deep Groove” with DJ Deep and DJ Gregory in 1993 in Paris, which was one of the first to spread the “real underground dance music” sound from the US and put a spotlight on early French deep house artists like St. Germain and Shazz.
In the late 1990s, after releasing two remixes as “Tokyo 246 Ave. Project”, Alex started producing original music as Tokyo Black Star. Tokyo Black Star’s debut release, a remix of “For You” by Big Moses came out on Kerri Chandler’s label Basemental in 2000. Tokyo Black Star’s “Psyche Dance” EP became the very first release of Berlin label Innervisions by Dixon and Âme in 2005 (Innervisions released four other Tokyo Black Star EPs as well as their debut album “Black Ships” in April 2009).
Currently, Alex is one of the resident DJs in Berlin at the crazy Cocktail d’Amore party at Griessmuhle and at the Aquarian Shift party at the intimate music club Ohm.
Joining Alex on the decks we have Enzo Grasso and Allan Marshall bringing you on a musical journey of quality electronic music. What’s better way to start off Spring than with a world class DJ at a world class venue?
