Alexander Coollook was born in Athens in 1975. 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. At the beginning of 2008, he was approached by Bonzai Music, and he has also already released 2 tracks (Napa Bay, In My Reality) and is expected to release another 4 (Sunshine Sax, Cavo, Define Real, Flying Bubble) by April 2009. He has been remixed by big names of the local scene like Orelse, Dubber, Deep Oblivion, by the master of Bonzai Trance Laurent Veronnez (aka Airwave, Planisphere) and the Perfecto wonderkid, Robert Vadney, and has appeared already in 3 Bonzai compilations (Mojito Rhythms, Winter Chillz, DJ Repertoire). At the present time, he is working on his first full album and he hopes it will be released by the summer of 2009. He hosts a regular weekly show on Free Radio and regular radio shows in various local FM radio stations across Greece.
