Press Play Record

“Director of good times, infectious dance grooves and a feel-good atmosphere.”

That’s how Will from Press Play Record describes himself as a DJ,  Press Play Record just want's you to have a great time. Be it with one of his smooth deep house sets that can be heard at his own bar 'Shot on Military' in Cremorne to his high energy electro set's carefully crafted to maximise the uplifting vibe.

Having grown up on his father’s eclectic combination of classical music (Mozart, Bach) and Rock (Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles), combined with his own passion for electronic music and good times, Press Play Record ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence.  Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks… all on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling house beat.

“For me, it’s all about mood; playing tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, putting a smile on your face, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date. “

Five years ago, Alex Gibson embarked on a musical journey from Sydney to London – the iconic home to many of his musical influences. Having released his debut album ‘This Is Life’ in 2012, he embraced the next step of his career and quickly earned a reputation as one of London’s hardest working and most exciting musical acts. 

Alex has performed at various London venues, including The 100 Club and OMEARA. He was also featured as one of Time Out London’s rising star acts in 2016 and was runner up in the ‘Songs of War’ competition in 2018 which was judged by the likes of Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, and Mike Rutherford.

From busking on Portobello Road, to performing at Sofar Sounds, Alex’s style is adaptable, soothing and raw, with appeal across various generations and stages. 

Inspired by both classic and modern genres, the new record is a culmination of Alex’s own timeless sound and his immense passion, skill, and determination.

2020 will mark the release of Alex’s sophomore album - a body of work, yet to be revealed, exploring new topics with crude honesty and fierce energy. After five years in the making, this album will take you on a journey of real emotions with beautiful and varied delivery, reflecting everything that defines Alex Gibson.

Currently, Alex is focusing on releasing singles ahead of the album launch, with ‘Heartbeats’ and ‘Spirit Girl’ released in late 2019, and ‘Animal’, 'Searching', 'Feel Something' and 'Dancing with the Devil' released in early 2020. 

It is set to be an exciting 12 months ahead for this emerging talent.
