Belgian born Alix Depauw is the face behind production moniker Alix Perez, now regarded as one of the most ground-breaking and innovative producer-DJ's of his generation. Little time after his debut release, Alix saw himself catapulted to the forefront of the drum and bass scene with an ever growing reputation and sought after catalogue of music. With a history of critically acclaimed releases on legendary labels such as Metalheadz, V Recordings and Soul:R, Alix went on to sign exclusively to Friction's very own imprint, Shogun Audio, the home of his remarkable debut album '1984.' Straying from the traditional confines of Drum and Bass, '1984' went on to be one of the most highly anticipated and rated electronica albums of 2009, gaining extraordinary reviews and extensive support globally. With collaborations ranging from Peven Everett to Foreign Beggars, '1984's stature is further cemented with chart topping positions and rare reviews in publications such as the Metro, Mixmag and more. Perhaps initially known best for sophisticated, soulful productions, Alix retains influences from funk, soul and hip-hop. Since his outstanding debut LP on Shogun Audio in '09, 2010 brought with it further successes, including a storming Australasian tour and collaborations with technical gods of the highest order including Noisia, Foreign Beggars and Icicle, alongside the release of his 'Dark Days' EP. Alix demonstrates striking musical versatility in both drum & bass and other genres, and is unanimously one of the most talented artists in the game.
