Dj Alks

"I make music first and foremost for me. I do it because I love it and if there are people who enjoy what I do and there are fans because of it; well, then that's a plus. I don't wake up in the morning and go into the studio to make a record hoping that a DJ, one of my peers will play it. That's not why I make music. I do it because that's my passion and that's what I do. I'll do it for the rest of my life because that's who I am."

DISCOGRAPHY



Unbeatable Labz 2006

Beat-Juggling (various sounds + rythms),

Scratch Music (synths descents),

Drum-Kit (about 70 kits) for producers or DJ’s doing Scratch Music,



Skip-Proof scratch (sentences, words, voices).



Lastly on the A-side are 10 “infinite beats” (infinite grooves) specially made to practice your scratches over.



The B-side starts off with a 4-minute, Grime-influenced, 90 bpm scratch sentence (about 400 original sounds, not a single one being taken from another scratch record).



There are 7 electro-grime-battle inspired tracks, specially made for DJ competitions.

This battle record comprises 7 instrumentals (about 2 minutes each), and 7 fat beats (about 30 seconds each).



It contains a scratch-skip (4 minutes) mixed at 104 bpm, with more than 400 new sounds to scratch (voices, breaks, hip hop phrases, electro waves), 70 rhythms to sample and 15 real instruments sounds (saxophone, organ, synthesizer…).
