Over the past 9 years, Alex Collings has been fortunate enough to have enjoyed many fantastic experiences and a hugely successful rise up the DJ ranks. Playing a range of musical styles, from house to breaks to trance, has enabled Alex to build an impressive DJ CV. Some highlights include 3 years as the resident DJ at Es Paradis in Ibiza, a 6 month weekly residency for Slinky and MTV in Tokyo, a 6 month weekly residency for Slinky in Ibiza, and monthly residencies in the United States.

More recently he focused himself more on the house side of things and has been developing a unique style that fuses uplifting funky house with a dirtier and slightly tougher electro/techy house sound. It’s this dirty, sexy, and hugely danceable sound, mixed with his infectious energy behind the decks that has brought him a full diary of guest sets across London at clubs such as Studio 33, Heaven, Turnmills, Canvas, Egg, and Pacha. It was actually his first set at Pacha in June that earned him an appearance in Novembers Mixmag as the months ‘Readers Saint’, and a return trip in September where he rocked the main room once again.

His friends say his success is down to a combination of his persistent hard work and his ability to read, entertain, and surprise a crowd during his sets. Alex prefers just to say that he loves what he does and it’s as simple as that. Whatever the reasons, it works. Long may it continue.

Alex is currently a resident for funky house night ‘Koochy’, electro night ‘Dirtbox’, and has just been signed up for a new night by Heak UK events (SouthWestFour, Push, etc).
