Biography
From Uruguay, South America, ALEX CARTER came to Switzerland at the age of fifteen. He discovered with his brother electronic music, stopped listening to hip-hop and went into this new trend and soon artists as Pascal PEOS, Ricardo VILLALOBOS or Pasco MÜLLER aka ISOLEE influenced him in his musical choice.
He started performing in clubs and parties around the romand lakes area in switzerland, mixes of his own plates he would manage to get produced for his own sake from the loops he had created on computers creating his own samples from both electronics and accoustics.
Later, he met DJAIMIN who was already collaborating with Dom from Relief studio and composed the album at home, from the loops he created himself. He then had the opportunity to develop this project at Relief Studio. Dom & Dario aka Djaimin helped him out with some arrangements and Miguel engineered.
His debut album, "The Craftman" was released in 2004, ten original compositions fully produced and mixed for a deep techno result sometimes close to ambient.
The connection with intoXygene came through the studio introducing the artist and the production to the company. In 2002 agreements are signed and ALEX CARTER will perform in September at the intoXygene label showcase on a boat cruising on the river Seine during the « rendez vous de l’électronique » festival in Paris.
Anyone hanging around La Mine cafe in the heart of Lausanne may be able to get the chance of experiencing one of those mixing sessions.
