AALEX - Deep Diamonds (Organic Progressive House)

Organic  - Progressive - Slowgressive
London

AALEX, also known as House Da Buun, is an electronic music producer, DJ, and remixer based in London. His latest alias, AALEX, marks a focused step into the realms of deep, progressive, and organic house—an evolution shaped by years of exploration across genres, scenes, and sounds. His music blends layered percussion, rolling basslines, and textured melodies influenced by rooftops, city nights, sunsets, and the meditative stillness of Gong Fu tea.

Alex’s journey into electronic music began in the late ’90s. One of his earliest productions, rough and unpolished but still one of his favourites, was made in 1999 after a friend returned from Ibiza with a glitchy psy-chill CD that completely shifted his perspective. That spark stayed alive, and by 2010 he began producing and releasing music professionally, launching a multi-genre career through various aliases including Funduzm, John Nuzzo, Busy Rida, Alex da Rabbit, and as the creator of the label and brand Filthy Rhodes.

Through House Da Buun—a collaborative project originally built with jazz guitarist and sound supervisor Gabriele Palmarin—Alex has explored funk-infused deep house, minimal, and techno, with a body of work spanning dozens of tracks and remixes. The duo also released the funk/deep house album El Ritmo in collaboration with saxophonist Luca Ardini. Parallel to this, the Filthy Rhodes alias allowed him to dive deeper into eclectic grooves and club-focused textures, while behind the scenes he produced a vast catalogue of instrumental beats across hip hop, dancehall, and downtempo.

In recent years, Alex has reconnected with more melodic, emotional, and spiritual forms of dance music. His track Sweet Love, released under House Da Buun, blends Afro Deep and Amapiano rhythms with vocals by Nigerian artist Rutzy Rad and guitar from Gabriele Palmarin, also featuring a remix by Pietro LGF from 45drakes.

Now, under the name AALEX, this next chapter fully embraces organic and progressive sounds—stripped back but rich in emotion, crafted for immersive listening and late-night dance floors.

As a resident DJ of Patchouli Deep, he currently hosts three radio shows: Horizon Grooves, DreamDust, and Deep Diamonds, each focused on different shades of deep and progressive music. His next release is due in July 2025, in collaboration with Horizons, Pietro LGF, and others, alongside remixes of Fernweh, Under My Skin, and Come Find Me (with Alex Fernweh and Avantime).

He will also be performing at Solstice 2025, a collaboration between Patchouli Deep and Organica UK, with upcoming gigs including a show with Undergrowth and a hybrid live set scheduled later this year.

Having never set foot in Ibiza—but always been inspired by the spiritual and sonic freedom it represents—AALEX enters this phase with clarity, energy, and a deep-rooted love for the culture that shaped him from day one
