Alex Downey is a true DJs DJ and is without question one of the finest to come out of the UK in the past 30 years. We don't need to exaggerate. It's a fair assessment shared by anyone who has witnessed him craft immersive stories out of records at his Freerotation residency, or spots at festivals such as Labyrinth Japan, Audio Farm, Bloc, Field Maneuvers or Houghton. Usually opting for the 3-deck approach, Alex can pull from a formidable arsenal, techno-based but liberally pulling in strands of electro, deep house, breaks and even some early trance. If you haven't heard him in full flight, you need to ask yourself, and maybe promoters, some serious questions. But if you have, you'll be back. Put simply a sublime DJ of dance music in all styles, rhythms and textures. Dive in, you'll feel better afterwards.
