Elexx
Elexx began his career in the early 90s playing techno and house records for a local French radio station, developing his taste for electronic dance music in the mid 90s, after relocating to the South of France. Elexx went on to discover the new and influential sounds of Neil Landstrumm, DJ Hell or Patrick Pulsinger; it was through these influences and his gathering experience that Elexx started to put together his own studio and produce his first tracks.
But a year later Elexx moved to Edinburgh, Scotland and on to different things where, with the help of local artists and friends, he set up DJ nights, ran electronic label Pull Records and DJ’d at various well known clubs throughout Europe and the UK. Elexx decided to re-focus on his own work by releasing his first solo EP in five years on Patrick Walkers AVX-R audio imprint, with a new release expected on Injun Ears records net label Tribal Waves and a French release with long time friend and fellow radio DJ Olivier S.
