Alex Smoke is unique talent to emerge from the Glasgow music scene. This young producer is pushing the boundaries of electronic music with his innovative style of fusing deep european minimalism with emotional strings and intellegent electro rhythms.

Alex Smoke has a background in classical music which is very evident from the quality of his arrangements. His debut release 'Random As' came out on underground Glasgow label 'Savalas Records' to critical acclaim in Jan 2002. Jockey Slut described it as “the kind of record a pissed off Funk D’Void might make”, with IDJ claiming it was a “a dark minimal experiment in sinister atmospherics”. Alex Smoke can already count the likes of Andrew Weatherall, DJ Hell and the Ghostly International crew as fans of his work.

His engineering skill has also been put to use by some of Glasgow's most respected DJ's and producers including Harri, Percy X and Mash. No slouch in the DJ department either, he has played in most of Glasgow's underground clubs and his currently working on a live set using Logic Pro and Ableton Live. The melancholic Smoke sound prevails throughout and deep techno variants nestle alongside evocative electronica.
