Originating from Edinburgh Scotland, ALEX is a Scottish born electronic music producer, composer and DJ. After spreading his sound to every channel and label possible, ALEX broke through in the most significant way possible. If you get the attention of Playmaker and NewRetroWave in the synthwave scene, you're doing something right, and ALEX's unique approach to composition and production led to his debut release with NewRetroWave, the Blood Club EP. And things haven't slowed for the young producer, with two more EPs and an album since his debut, each showing another side to the artist. After the release of his Drive-inspired EP Youth, fans of the powerful vocal tracks "Rebel of the Night" and "Youth" can get excited for the pair of major budget music videos ALEX has in store, with filming having taken place in Russia and New York City. ALEX grew up listening to the likes of Daft Punk, Justice, Underworld, Chromatics, Deadmau5, absorbing the sounds of disco, house, hip-hop, and rock, cherry-picking his favorite elements to blend into the new retro haze of his own material. He also cites film composers, such as Disasterpiece, John Carpenter, Vangelis, Johan Johansson, and John Williams, as an influence.

Scottish producer Alex returns to Playmaker Media Records after his previous album X (PLMKR 032LP, 2018). After a few releases through New Retro Wave, he's becoming a household name in the alternative synth scene with his unique mix of dark synth and cyber pop. Simulations sees this artist on his most versatile synth-pop game, ever. He knows how to pick features with these beautiful, provocative, and sensual-sounding female vocalists, mixed with his signature driving dark electronic sound. Here, he succeeds yet again, this time with rapid-fire synths and dance beats that worm their way into the brain and get stuck there. Keeping it cyberpunk and dance-able, he tops himself once again. Let this album speak for itself, along with its amazing collaborators. Edition of 300 on 180 gram white vinyl, includes A3 poster of cover art.

ALEX's X is a dark, haunting, and brooding synthwave record that sets the night on fire, taking you from darkness all the way to the shining lights of "Broadway". With hints of cyberpunk, outrun, and other '80s inspired retrowave influences, ALEX has developed a true signature sound that is funky, groovy, and totally rocking. X takes you on a futuristic, electronic music trip that's filled with nostalgia and suspense. Vocalist Laura Currie is featured on "Broadway". Cover Art by Maika Sozo. 180 gram vinyl.
