“For Playful Manners” is a new label run by Raquel Rivera-Lys aka Adi from Colombia and
Basic Moves head honcho Michiel Claus aka Walrus from Brussels. Dreamt up
spontaneously during a shared afternoon of listening to music in Berlin, the label’s manners
centre on the feelings of friendship and fun in music, though its feet are always itching for the
dancefloor and its various scenarios, while its head is turned firmly towards the future. Crisp
music is the message every time, with each split EP also thoughtfully balanced:
male/female, machine/soul, robot/alien, flower/tree... The artwork takes the form of a puzzle,
which has to be solved to discover the tracks and their makers. Let’s play!

Broken beats, housey rhythms, groovy & gripping.

Monthly radio show: @littlecreaturescast

Based in Miami with roots in LA and San Salvador, Alex is an enthusiast and passionate selector of underground tunes. His rhythmic offerings provide an equal balance of engaging, energetic tunes and the freaky, weirder side of techno, electro, and house. He is currently a resident for Un_Mute (@un_mutemiami) and BlackTone (@user-438863613) events in the US, and host of Little Creatures Radio based in Bristol, UK: follow @littlecreaturescast

A 4-year stint in Central America starting 2013 led to affiliation with @thehouseprojectt and dates at most of the region's major clubs and festivals. Over the years, Alex has shared the stage with storied talent such as Onur Ozer, Ian Pooley, John Tejada, Dana Ruh, Tom Ellis, and Adam Collins (Omni A.M.) along with new school luminaries like Francesco del Garda, DJ Masda, Binh, Laurine & Cecilio, Nicolas Lutz, Raphael Carrau, Quest, Brasi, Giammarco Orsini, Z@P, Cristian Sarde, Cosmic JD, Sibil, Truly Madly, Hamish & Toby, Harry McCanna, John Dimas, Oshana, Nicola Cruz...

Such experiences are leading to a constant evolution in his musical depth and have bolstered his ability to comfortably combine trippy with techy, dreamy with drummy, heady with house.
