Heard It Through The Grapevine (Alex Preston Rework) - Marvin Gaye [Free D/L]

Born in Blankenburg, Peter Röhrig was already at the end of the 90s, at the age of 15, from the Techno. Even then it was foreseeable that he would play a big part in his life. At the time, Peter's big brother lived in Ibiza, taking him to the infamous parties in Amnesisa and Sven Väth.
For Peter, Väth is one of the greatest inspiration, then, as today.
The last five years he spent a lot of time on Koh Phangan / Thailand.
On this island, he met wonderful people who encouraged him to revive his great dream of techno and move him to mix his first sets.

Der gebürtige Blankenburger Peter Röhrig wurde schon Ende der 90 iger, mit 15 Jahren, vom Techno geprägt. Schon damals war abzusehen, dass dieser einmal eine große Rolle in seinem Leben spielen wird. Zu der Zeit lebte Peter's großer Bruder auf Ibiza, der ihn mitnahm zu den berüchtigten Parties im Amnesisa und zu Sven Väth.
Für Peter ist Väth eine der größten Inspiration, damals, wie heute.
Die letzen fünf Jahre verbrachte er viel Zeit auf Koh Phangan/Thailand. 
Auf dieser Insel traf er wundervolle Leute, die ihn dazu animierten seinen großen Traum vom Techno aufleben zu lassen und ihn dazu bewegten seine ersten Sets zu mixen.

Since the inception of his live show and his exciting new style of house music, Alex Preston has become a force to be reckoned with in the world of electronic music. The Sydney-native utilises his skills as a virtuoso musician as he tastefully melds his signature guitar licks with disco tinged bass lines and warm pulsating house beats. 

2020 is proving to be Alex Preston’s breakout year with Mark Knight labelling him as one of his favourite producers and one to watch out for in the coming months. Signing with Mark’s infamous Toolroom Records, Alex was handed the responsibility of mixing and curating the Toolroom Poolside Album 2020. The release features 4 new originals from Alex with vocals from Rion S and includes his collaboration with the legendary, Friend Within. It also includes 2 DJ mixes hand picked by Alex, not only showcasing Alex’s production talents but also his skills as a tastemaker DJ. 

The run up to the end of 2019 saw Alex’s music hit a new gear as Traxsource named him their no.15 highest selling House artist for 2019; Alex sharing the top 20 with names such as David Penn, Low Steppa, Mousse T, Kevin McKay, Purple Disco Machine & Todd Terry. 

This momentum flowed into January 2020 as Friend Within played Alex’s single “Your Ragga” off his Basement Sound label on BBC Radio 1 Future Anthems; along with the Aston Shuffle spinning his track “A Very Healthy Thing” off Low Steppa’s Simma Black imprint on Triple J; all in the same weekend. 

The following week Mark Knight dropped “A Very Healthy Thing” on Toolroom Radio and hailed Alex as “a name to look out for in 2020”. Toolroom records singing Alex’s single “An Example of Disco” (featuring the vocals of Rion S) scheduling it for a worldwide release on 6 March 2020 adding it to their Miami 2020 Compilation. 

Alex also signed with Kevin McKay’s hugely successful, Glasgow Underground. With Kevin himself editing one of Alex’s more blues-influenced tracks, “Get Myself Together” (also featuring the vocals of Rion S and released on 3 April 2020). 

The rest of 2020 is looking solid for Alex with a collaboration with Siege due for release on Toolroom’s T2 Album in July, along with releases on the uber cool UK based Another Rhythm Records. Not to mention, there’s word of an album dropping on his own Basement Sound imprint in September!
