Álex Martín

Sound design and Electronic bases

With an already impressive career behind him, Alex Martín has become a point of reference in the electronic music scene. The Barcelona-based producer is one of the most internationally-renowned Spanish artists in club music, an exceptional achievement when the lack of open calls for national productions in this musical field is considered. Alex has collaborated with a long list of names for prestigious European labels, such as F:Communications, Pagoda, Playhouse, Klang, Pod and Hypnotism.

For the French label run by Laurent Garnier, Alex, under the name of Iberian, edited a series of EPs which explored danceable electronic music. At the British label, Pagoda, he mixed an irresistible cocktail of tech house and electronic breaks. Alex began his Phat Db project at the label, Playhouse, while at Klang Pod and Hypnotism, he began to cultivate his electronic side under the names, Sideral and Earcluod. He has an impressive recording history for national labels such as as Cosmos, Boozo, Minifunk and his own label, Higlamm. With Higlamm, he edited material for two of his best-known projects, Full Duplex, groovy house with disco aromas which featured Mayte S, and Phat DB, a project which saw him unleash his techno side. Alex’s impressive CV, as well as his impeccable work for Cosmos, truly distinguishes him from other national artists.
