Alex
came to New York on vacation in 1992 and never went
back. This former architecture student started his career
@ the legendary underground party XK, where he served
the masses with his signature futuristic-tribal sound.
Word quickly spread of this rising star's potential,
and he was offered a prestigious spot on the main floor
of New York's Twilo Night Club, opening for Danny Tenaglia.
Later on he was taking the helm as the headlining act,
leading to his residency @ Peter Gatien's Tunnel Nightclub.
Alex was approached by Grammy winner remixer-producer
Peter Rauhofer, who introduced him to the recording
studio. they collaborated on several tracks for Peter's
project under the moniker 'size queen'. Alex favorite
track, 'k-hole', would later became his first remix
project, a joint-venture with New York City great Johnny
Vicious. When the legendary church-turned-nightclub,
Limelight was re-opened in the summer of 1998, Alex
signed on for a weekly spot which would bring him to
the attention of New York most infamous nightclub promoters
Marc Berkley and John Blair. This dynamic duo introduce
the young debutante and his unique sound to the notoriously
elite circuit scene, offering him headline duties @
Limelight's drama, and later @ the to the-rafters main
event, Roxy Saturdays, as dj Victor Calderone's special
guest.
Most recently Alex mixed HX magazine's debut (double)
cd compilation, the critically acclaimed " the
hx project", which he is been touring since then
along USA, Canada, Japan, and South America. Note, this
former architecture student and, by extension, a perfectionist
who would always color inside the lines- insisted on
recording the set in a 'live ' setting in order to enhance
its overall energy. According to Lauterstein's philosophy,
" something that is recorded in a studio is often
going to be too perfect, it's not going to have the
'live' feel, for me that feeling is very important".
Alex's reputation has won him fans both here in USA
and abroad, having played sold-out venues from Punta
Del Este, South America, to Toronto, Montreal in Canada,
to Tokyo, Japan. Alex is working on 2 studio projects
@ this time, one with composer Hayley Moss, in a film
soundtrack meets electronica meets house project, under
the studio name "three wing butterfly". The
group first track was picked up by Peter Rauhofer for
a remix project of his classics works. Alex is also
nurturing a solo project, writing, mixing, and producing
the sound he helped create. After touring over 12 cities
in the USA, Canada, South America, in less than 3 months
with highly acclaimed performances, Alex is working
on a new continuos mix cd "global groove"
for Centaur Records, which will be released in late
March. With an upcoming new promotional tour in the
States, Canada and Japan, and several upcoming studio
releases, this enigmatic young performer's finest day
are yet to come.
