Dusty Kid - "Train No. 2" (Boxer) What could you say about a guy, being "on board" for more than 10 years, travelling around half of the world with his sound and who is about to break up barriers between minimal, technotic sounds and straight techno? Words can not equal the experience you can make when you meet alex in the mood for "clubbing". Crunchy, bleeping sounds, half an hour later you can not be sure to be safe from stright techno and finally he`s playing some even trancy tunes, and the only comment you can get from him is: "Why not, if it fits?" Every single mix sounds incredibly tight, an absolutely precise feeling for the next best possible record for the moment is his trademark. Like a maniac he is controlling the dancefloor, cooking it up and finally giving it the relief by giving it the chance to explode. His very versatile productions for his own label Toneman but also for world-famous labels like Zenit, Ante Zenit, Chris Liebing`s CLR and many more exactly show what he is all about: Fighting purism, combining styles, showing that one artist can have different faces and even being able to combine them without loosing credibility. Why? Because it`s fun. For the artist, for the dancefloor. Why focussing on "Minimal", "Techhouse" or "Techno" if you can have all?
