Mood Board Podcast Vol. 2 - Ly Sander, May 2016

Paris born, Tokyo raised NYC based international eclectic french DJ, producer, sound designer and phonon International Representative.

Having lived in Tokyo more than 20 years since he was a kid, Alex developed into one of the strongest crossover DJ's in Tokyo in the 90s and also became a key person connecting the world and Japan (F Communications Japan representative, Mr.Bongo/Disorient Japan, Yellow Productions/Bossa Tres Jazz project co-ordinator etc.).

Alex has been active producing music under the name Tokyo Black Star since the late 90s in Tokyo with his partner Isao Kumano and now with their 3rd member Kenichi Takagi, releasing original material on the Berlin based label Innervisions (they released in April 2009 their first long-awaited album "Black Ships”) and remixing artists like Tony Allen, Carl Craig, Phenomenal Handclap Band, Kuniyuki and Bing Ji Ling etc. 

Alex still travels regularly to Japan every 3 months to play at his 18th year residency the Sunday afternoon party "Gallery" with Dj Nori, Kenji Hasegawa and Fukuba.

Always looking for new challenges and sonic adventures, the Tokyo Black Star duo started in 2010 a new audio brand called phonon (www.phonon-inc.com), which makes exceptional pro-audio equipment for studio and DJ use. 

To keep things exciting, Alex re-launched from NYC his own record label "world famous" in November 2015 with a new Tokyo Black Star “Edo Express EP” as the 1st release and “Bing Ji Ling & Alex from Tokyo present” as its 2nd release on March 21st, 2016. Tokyo Black Star is very excited to present this summer 2016 their new epic album “Fantasy Live 1999” on vinyl on June 20th, 2016 and on CD late August.
