Todd Edwards - Shut The Door (Lucas Alexander Extended Remix)

Lucas Alexander is no ordinary artist. With a mixture of heritage from Wales to Jamaica, the fusion of his upbringing is far from short in his music. Cutting his teeth early on House & Garage he would travel for hours from his hometown in Cardiff with his record bag in tow to play gigs in Manchester and further. Over the last ten years he has honed his craft becoming a regular in the Welsh dance music scene playing alongside every heavyweight under the sun. A graduate of the university of UKG, Lucas Alexander’s on the verge of a massive year, with his latest track ‘Hands On The Box’ a collab with Chicago’s low end legend DJ Deeon, released on the iconic New York label Nervous Records topping the Traxsource Minimal / Deep Tech Chart. Alexander’s perfected a new sound merging Minimal, Garage and Tech House, with his glitched-out, playful 4:4 tracks making their way intothe sets of Jamie Jones, The Martinez Brothers, Marco Corolla, Richy Ahmed, Darius Syrossian and many more. 2023 started big, with Alexander’s release “Alright Or What” premiering onTBX and getting play-outs on BBC Radio 1, Kiss and featuring in Beatport’sMinimal / Deep Tech Top 10. The year continues to be big with Alexander’s‘Money Money Remix’ released on his own imprint ‘Rarebit Records’, giving him his fourth consecutive Beatport top 10. Born and raised in Cardiff, the Jamaican-Welsh artist’s early years were influenced by dubstep, Jungle and UKG. That playfulness shines through his expert productions, which are full of sampled British chit-chat and unexpected yet perfectly-timed cracked-up beats. With releases still to come on HE.SHE.THEY, Defected Records and Pitch London among others,Lucas is set to end the year even stronger than it started.
