ALEX AXX KOSS BIOGRAPHY
A rising star in the progressive dance music industry, Alex “AXX” Koss has received in 2006 widespread international attention of late, not only for his deep and emotive DJ sets, but also for his signature production style, resulting in record deals with the prestigious Tiesto’s FBI Records and New State Entertainment Group’s Maelstrom imprint.
AXX is native from the beautiful town of Quebec City in Canada where he founded the legendary French Touch events and long time resident at Dagobert, Frankie’s, System and Terminal, the city’s largest after-hours and night clubs. AXX was extensively touring across Eastern Europe, France and North America from 2004 to 2007. Now balancing a hectic schedule between sound engineering school where he is learning to perfect even further his craft and regular appearances on Techno.fm Internet radio show called Evolution and just recently on Greece biggest electronic dance music radio, DanceRadio.gr.
Stimulated by his education and professional employment in the field of land surveying, AXX draws inspiration from the great outdoors, creating sounds capes that mimic the patterns found in the landscapes that he studies, the sublime beauty of open spaces, or the fragile balance of life and growth that occurs naturally in the world around him. An admitted bon vivant, Alex also credits good food and constant physical activity (including fitness training, wake boarding, and roller blading) for providing him with a healthy exuberance toward life. 2006 sees the continued resonance of AXX’s positive musical vision throughout the globe and very involved in everything in regards to the global warming cause. In a nutshell, minimal thinking approach !
AXX is like many other DJ/Producer making the transition toward the digital platform for both production and DJ-in. This transition allowed Alex to evolve his sound into a deeper, minimal, funky tech house and progressive experience. His DJ live performances are becoming spontaneous moment of creation combined with the always
best tracks.
Freshly under Ararien Label, X-Cube has this perfect touch in order to make a variety of people travel through his art which is mostly varied in terms of electronic music styles.
He first started of, years ago, with a strong and brutal techno which opened a place for him on the Montreal local scene. He matured with wisdom and high technique by diversifying his repertory, tangling from Electro to Minimal. Recently, he managed to offer us his new challenge by exploring a passive and deep Progressive style. In fact, what is most attractive about X-Cube is that he can easily manage to play a funky Tech style as well as a heaven-reach Minimal.
Inspired since always by renown artists, X-Cube always knew how to reach his most picky fans and most devoted amateurs. No matter the place, he knows how to feel the vibe of his crowd and totally burn out the dance floor.
Throughout the years, X-Cube seized many opportunities in terms of improving his techniques, feeling of the crowd, and diversifying his “ear” to many styles by sharing many nights with artists like : : Miss Kittin, Misstress Barbara, Thomas Krome, Alex Bau, Preach, Yaz, Chris Liberator, Anton X, Laflèche, Vega, Mini, Creator, Pink Feria, Maus, Mateo Murphy, Bender , Jeff Fontaire, Wizz, Kal and many more. No doubt he is the artist, as polyvalent and crowd-understanding. He also benefited of a certain visibility with Indamix.ca, which offered many local artist to take more place on the Montreal scene.
Moreover, after creating some relationships with different artists, you may have already heard him in different places such as: le Parking , Stereo Bar , Mile End Bar, Balroom, S.A.T, Helsinki, L'Académie, Salon Daomé, De Lima, Soho Lounge Club ,Velvet Club , Terrasses Bonsecours et Winter Bar or certain after-hours, as for instance : Aria, Circus, Gravity, Cube, Daylight, Level, Gruv, L'Exode, L'After , the Notre-dame and the Turbo.
X-Cube also participated in many events: Lollipop 5, Silver 2005, I Love Montreal 2, and also at RaveMontreal 13, 14, 16, 18 and 20. He also performed at one of the Piknic Electronik in 2006.
After being a free agent, he is now very proud to be part of the Akarien team, with whom he shared many evenings with artists like Omni.
