Alex Nocera : Electro / House
|
Alex Nocera starter his DJ career in 1989, but after a short while he added many side activities to the main one, and nowadays he’s well known and appreciated not only as a DJ but also as a producer, discographer, remixer, composer and so on.
He has DJ’d virtually every club in Italy during the golden age of progressive, techno and hardstyle music, between 1990 and 2005, and has toured along Germany and UK (among others); his name has been in the line-up of some of the major events of the dance culture, including the legendary Berlin Love Parade (edition 2001). As regards discography he is the founder of such brands as Gas Records, Sound Barrier, and he released some very important issues over a rather long period of time; in 1996 his “The King and the Nursery” was recognized as the most influential track of the year in the progressive club scene, while in 2003 his “Daimoku” was charted by Pete Tong for BBC Radio 1. The remixing activity has taken a great importance after the partnership with Maurizio Montanari; from this moment (2007) on, the remixing team of which he is a part (Martin, Nocera, Montanari) has released a number of very important issues, mainly for Net’s Work Records, for such artists as Cerrone vs. Vega (Dance Ritual), Axwell (It’s True), John Dahlback (More Than I Wanted), Jerry Ropero (Bangladesh), Phunk Investigation vs. Two in a Room (Wiggle It), Louie Vega presents Anane (Shake dat Booty), the Italian radio star Provenzano (I’m Waiting), only to name a few; the team, after such a bunch of collaborations, took the courage to produce a single, Believe (Net’s Work Records, released summer 2008), which is completely written, composed, performed, sung and produced by the team itself. Alex Nocera, together with Maurizio Montanari, is now going to complete an innovative concept of live set, planned mainly for clubs but not only, which will blend the various experiences and the different skills of the creators (Djing, live performances, technology) into a really emotional and astounding event.
Di un Alex Nocera non ancora maggiorenne si inizia a parlare nei primi anni Novanta, quando le radio locali e i locali della nascente tendenza progressive ne vedono le prime ma gia’ risolute mosse; di poco successiva e’ infatti la concretizzazione dell’idea TMMC Team, con la creazione di etichette come Gas Records e Sound Barrier.Da quel momento si susseguono esperienze significative e obbiettivi raggiunti; come produttore discografico Alex disegna un percorso professionale che passa dal singolo ‘The King and the Nursery’, entrato nel 1996 in classifica a Radio DJ, per arrivare a ‘Daimoku’, che puo’ fregiarsi di essere entrato a far parte nel 2003 della prestigiosa Chart compilata dal DJ inglese Pete Tong per BBC Radio 1.La carriera di DJ del nostro si articola intorno al suo act forse piu’ significativo, la partecipazione alla Love Parade di Berlino nell’anno di grazia 2001, e comprende inoltre numerose date in Inghilterra, Germania e nei migliori club italiani dell’ultimo quindicennio.Nel 2007 inizia la collaborazione con Maurizio Montanari sul piano della produzione, del remixing e grazie alla Grande supervisione dell’A&R della Net’s Work records, Enzo Martino , vengono realizzati remix per nomi del panorama “dance” del calibro di Little Louie Vega, Cerrone, Jerry Ropero, Axwell, ecc… Oggi Alex fa parte del Team di produzione M+N+M (martin, nocera & montanari). |
