A Chicago's true hero, key architect of the genre, the Acid King. K-Alexi is one of house music's most prolific exponent in the world. He was already doing music way before records. He discovered house music in tender age at the Warehouse and the Music Box, where the blueprint of the sound was being laid down by the legendary Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles, very close friends and mentors. A tally of essential records, remixing and collaborations resulted in his talents being sought by artists like The Pet Shop Boys, Derrick May, Paul Johnson, Mr. Lee, Larry Heard and Robert Owens to name a few.
