A1:No Loss A2: BDRK B1: Champion Sound B2: Treat Me Is it any wonder that Alix Alvarez’s music is held in such when we consider that the New Yorker learnt his trade under the watchful eyes and ears of many of house musics true visionaries. During his youth his home city was the heartbeat of house music and having ignited an interest in production he signed up to the Institue of Audio Research. Upon graduating he was given the amazing opportunity to work as an assitant sound engineer at the legendary MAW Studios. Alix took the opportunity to the fullest, learning his trade from the great “Little” Louie Vega and Kenny “Dope’ Gonzales and befriending further mentors including Sandy Rivera and Osunlade. At MAW Studios Alix also met his now co owner and partner in Sole Channel Records Mr. V and things really started to take off and the combination lead to his first club hit, 2007’s “Da Bump". Alix’s debut on Ovum has been a process that goes back well over a year. Being fans of his production we reached out to him for a remix of Shlomi Aber’s “NY Dreamer". The result was a multi week stint at the top of the Beatport Deep House Sales chart and incredible support from his peers. Since that time Alix has been working on his debut release for Ovum, the “Elixr” EP. This release shows the diveristy of Alix’s amazing production skills and the end result is a spectacular four tracker that effortlessly glides us from the beautiful deep and warm vibes of ‘No Loss’ to the jittery vocal skills of ‘Treat Me’, via the analog gem ‘BDRK’ and Josh Wink favourite ‘Champion Sound’. Debuts don’t get much better. Class.
