Alex Picone Artist Bio

Alex was born and grown in Padua, in the North-East of Italy. He started DJing at the age of 15 and after two years he became resident DJ of “la Scala”, the infamous underground club in the region. A couple of season later Alex started to organize his own house parties. Later he teamed up with professional promoters and he became resident DJ of “Flow” and “Muretto” which are the most successful house parties in this area. Due to the success of his parties Alex mingled with many international artists such as Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola and many others. In 2004 he started with his partner Francesco Sperotto a.k.a. Kay Sand the project called Chronic Flakes – very quickly the young duo gained reputation among many senior producers such as Alex Neri, who released their works on Bustin loose and Tenax Recordings. Beside his project Chronic Flakes, Alex started a collaboration with Lucretio – one of the tracks of the two artists, called “Berlin Dub”, has been released on Mixworks’ first record “Persistence E.P.” . Now, in 2008, its time to focus on Alex Picone as solo astist: „Furby Floppy“, Alex first EP under his own name, is going to be released on Luciano’s imprint Cadenza Records as Cadenza 27. This is no-holds-barred dance music with a manic glint in its eye and wildpitch elements threaded through its flesh: house music for house people who won’t let anything stand in their way of the hypnotic groove. You can describe Alex’ sound as elegant, fresh, deep and beyond any convention at the same time. Read more on Last.fm.
