ALEX COOLLOOK

Alex Coollook was born in Athens, Greece on the 21st of October 1975. In his early childhood, he was fanatically involved with music following lessons of keyboard and guitar. During his adolescence, he participated in various rock/ metal bands as a guitarist.

His turn towards electronic music came at the age of 21, in 1996, when he moved to England to study. At that time, the big “explosion” of the trance music scene was taking place both in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands (with the famous now Oakenfold, Sasha, Van Buuren and the rest doing their first steps) and the DJ job was becoming on of the most prestigious in these countries. Alex started collecting vinyls and CDs, and started playing gigs in the region. During that time, he visited all the famous London and Great Britain clubs, festivals and raves, and travelled a lot to neighboring Holland. He also experimented in production buying minimal equipment; however, due to the difficulty of his studies, he remained a passive listener and viewer of events.

In 2007, after having completed his studies, his army service and started working, he decided to invest in new equipment and started expressing his thoughts and ideas through his tracks. Recognition of his efforts did not take long, when at the beginning of 2008, an Italian label, Superbia Recordings (sublabel of Stranamente Music) decided to sign his first 3 tracks. On his run of producing quality tracks, he was approached by Bonzai Music, and he has also already signed a lot of new tracks.

He has already been remixed by important names of the local dance scene like Chris Stavropoulos, Orelse, Dubber, Nickolas & G Spice as well as famous world artists like Planisphere (aka Airwave) and Robert Vadney. At the present time, he is working on his first full album and he hopes it will be released in the summer of 2009.
