Born in Cape Town, and now living in Manchester, Alex Blaxx is 21 years-old. Buzzin Flys Ben Watt ran across his music in September 2012 after a tip-off on influential music blog fluxmusic.net and went on to preview one of the tracks on his BBC 6Music 6Mix residency a couple of nights later, it garnered the most texts and tweets for any track played that night. The upshot is Alexs debut three-track EP on Buzzin Fly. Simple raw, deep house.
In the words of Fluxmusic: 'The fact of the matter is that some people just understand the creative infrastructure of house music, and exactly how house's insulated nature holds a crowd together – and it just so happens that Alex Blaxx is one of these people.'
If you want to see Alex play, he often rolls up at Manchester's ace Drop The Mustard. If you want to hear his tunes, try this EP.
