KBS Limited brings you worldwide artists behind the decks of an intimate underground venue and this time we are proudly presenting you unique artist with exceptional skills as well as his discography that have earned him a place as a favourite among critics who have awarded him the titles of best producer and best live act!
Alexander Kowalski acquired a reputation as an live act in which the dramatic development of suspense in his productions transposes powerfully at peak time on the stage with his ability to create epic breaks in order to savor the interaction with the audience.
At times he deploys up to four decks fusing his live philosophy and DJing into a unique experience using elements from classic Detroit and historical Berlin techno with his affection for sophisticated bass lines, deep beats and challenging arrangements. Alexander knows perfectly how to program his tracks to sound straight, deep, housy, dubby or funky – and this versatility is one of the reasons for his reputation. After founding Damage Music label, it was easily established as one of the most important innovative triggers in the international scene at the junction between house and techno.
Alexander has racked up an impressive volume of work including four solo albums, countless singles and remixes.
He had his debut live appearances at Berlin’s premier techno club Tresor, resulting in his first releases on the Tresor label under the pseudonym DisX3.
Around that time, he also teamed up with Stassy of Sender Berlin in a collaboration called Double X. His albums “Echoes” and “Progress” on Kanzleramt are now a days regarded as classics.
Kowalski scored a hit with “Hot Spot” featuring Raz Ohara and get enormous acclaim for his innovative sound, which combined technical precision with a strong sense of emotion providing remixes for such artists as Agoria, Dave Gahan, Funk D’Void, Octave One, Paul Kalkbrenner…
In the meantime Kowalski decided to indulge his passion for vocals, which he began to use more and more in his music.
His track “Lock Me Up” (with Turner) clearly showed the potential unlocked with this approach, and he returned with the album “Changes” on the Different label, showcasing his new musical focus.
Boldly crossing genres, he has produced songs featuring a wide range of vocalists including Khan (“House of Hell”), Fritz Kalkbrenner & Barca Baxant.
Kowalski’s action-packed live sets are always powerfully intense, he is a performer behind his gear who knows how to rock out the dancefloor with bass-driven deep harmonies and straight beats,
pulling out all the stops with his club anthem “Speaker Attack”.
