Suruba Podcast

Suruba Podcast003 by Alex Grzybowski.

Alex has been dj'ing and playing house music in various different shapes and forms for over 15 years, his first notable residency was in Ibiza at the then newly opened 'Underground' in San Rafael in 2001. Other residencies and gigs on the island included 'Ancient People', 'Coast Line Cafe' and regular appearances in the 2nd room at 'Es Paradis' and 'Fabric', both in San Antonio.

The next couple of years were spent studying Music Technology and learning about music production, at the prestigious Leeds College Of Music. The college built it's reputation on pioneering jazz education and remains committed to being an internationally respected voice in the jazz world.

In 2003 he became resident of a new electronic club-night, 'Sleaze', which quickly gathered momentum and was first to bring artists such as Ivan Smagghe, Tiefshwarz, FC Kahuna and Ladytron to Leeds. The weekly party at Dave Beer's ‘Rehab club’ also boasted James Lavelle (Unkle) as monthly resident.
It was during this period that Alex made his first track with fellow resident Simon Baker, under the moniker “The Liptrick”. The self titled release was quickly picked up by Ralph Lawson for his 2020 Vision Label and became quite a hit, featuring on many cd compilations, including Groove Armada’s ‘doin it after dark 2’ and Dan Ghenacia’s Families mix. Further remixes and a release on Simon’s own ‘Infant Records’ followed later.

Alex has also played many times as resident for the club night Asylum, based in Leeds. The eclectic party has seen him warming up and playing along side some true pioneers of underground dance music as well as some more established names, such as Idjut Boys, Timo Maas, Alexander Robotnik, DJ T, Ewan Pearson, Chloe, Steve Lawler, Danny Krivit and even Jazzy Jeff!

In 2008 Alex started his own night "Insects" which has seen the likes of Efdemin, Dave DK and Battant (Kill the DJ) grace the decks.

Alex is currently signed to Suruba Records (Madrid) and has released 3 ep's for them so far. In March 2009 he remixed Spektre feat Chelonis R Jones, the NYC born vocalist on the record is widely known for his work with the label Get Physical and the band Röyksopp.
Alex's releases with Suruba have gained him praise and accolades from a wide range of dj's from Laurent Garnier to Silicon Soul. He has also recently remixed an exclusive track by Ripperton & Minz' called "Crack" (Suruba X) which will be out on Vinyl and digital, in March 2010.

You can catch Alex playing Dada @ The Cosmic ballroom w/ Mathew Jonson, 27/03/2010.
