Alex Attias started his Djing career in 1988, Lausanne – Switzerland, playing house, jazz ,funk and disco classics.
Throughout the late 80’s and early 90’s, he established himself as one of Switzerland’s top Dj’s running his own successful weekly nights The Jackal’s , being booked to play all over the world, and in return booking  International Dj’s to play in Switzerland. Alex was also long-time collaborator for the magazine Vibrations, writing reviews and compiling their series of albums. By 1995, he was ready to break into Electronic music production and  set up the Bel-Air Project, and began attracting attention with their first release “Magik”, which was featured on one of the famous Sourcelab compilations. Bel-Air Project’s next two releases became minor underground cult classics “Jazz with Altitude” and “Dark Jazzor” were both championed by the likes of 4Hero, Gilles Peterson and Stacey Pullen.

His discography includes singles for labels such as People, Ubiquity, Versatile, Neroli, Archive, Compost records as well as remixing Incognito, 4Hero, Ennio Morricone, Sun RA, Art Blakey, Roni Size, Laurent Garnier to name but a few.

In 1997 Alex moved to England to pursue new musical projects, Mustang and Beatless the main sources of his creative output , plus a few sporadic collaborations: Plutonia with Dego from 4 Hero, Catalyst with Greg Boraman and Freedom Soundz with his brother Stephane).
Joining the Goya West London Studios in 2000, Alex set up his new record label, Visions Inc., for which he’s been busy recording with Jessica Lauren, producing tracks for soul singer Vanessa Freeman, Colonel Red and his own Mustang project.

The first Beatless album “Life Mirrors” was released in October 2001 on the American label Ubiquity, featuring tracks recorded in San Francisco with the Daughters from the 70’s band the Sons and Daughters of Lite, with Stones Throw rapper Quasimoto, and the multitalented Colonel Red.
Around the same time, Irma Records from Italy released his “Quiet Moments” compilation, an assortment of chilled and space jazz tracks from the past that is still loved and played by many.

After 8 years in London its only in 2004 that Alex has completed his first solo album under the Mustang moniker on Compost Records (Germany), just before returning to Switzerland.

After a little break of about 3 years, Alex came back with various productions for Rush hour, Planet E, Mule records and a weekly saturday night radio show on the Swiss national channel Couleur 3, plus a monthly Club night LillyGood Party! inviting guests such as Zaf Lovevinyl, Phil Asher, Melik Heartbeatvinyl ..

At the moment Alex is working on his new album and making a collection of singles for his label Visions Recordings and with his brother Stephane they do official edits only on vinyl as LillyGood Party! the same name they use for their parties.

Alex djing combines a mix of tunes with the respect of history of dance music and with the knowledge of a the dance floor, mixing classic and less known deep tracks from soul to deep house, disco to afrobeat, jazz to Detroit sounds .

Alex aim is to share good music to good people, spread the good vibes, a have a good dance.

Album Preview - Skymark - Fusional Waves

During the summer youth program of 1970 and '71 at St Paul's Catholic church
a young Tunnie Smith was singled out by Father George Artist for his outstanding singing
abilities. 
He was soon introduced to Joe Delpit and Reginal Brown to sing along with their show and
dance band "The 13Th Amendments. It didn't take long before Tunnie was a full member of the 
band and became a featured singer performing throughout Louisiana.
After a year and a half of performing at nightclubs, military bases and universities Tunnie landed
a record deal with Rick Hall's Fame/UA record label.
His first single from 1973 was a wonderful mid-tempo number entitled "Finders Aren't Always Keepers"
flipped with "Do That To Me"
It gained National distribution and had some good success. Tunnie left Fame records and was 
introduced to Stax record executives Al Bell and John Smith.
After signing with Stax Tunnie met legendary writer and performer David Porter where they recorded
an album which was scheduled for release around 73/74.Unfortunately Staxs association with CBS came to a halt
and the project got shelved.
Tunnie went home and carried on performing around the Louisiana area with his new band Sweet Music Orchestra"
Fast forward to 1983 Tunnie whilst recording some vocals at River City Recording met Chicago producer
and arranger George "Paco" Patterson.  George was musical director and had worked with The Isley Brothers
Wilson Pickett and many other well known artists.
During this period Tunnie along with George formed a great partnership and along with some top session musicians
record some incredibly lush, well produced and atmospheric songs
The A Side "Dancing On Da Cloud" kicks of with female backing vocals and cascading strings layered over each other
to create a full bodied 2 Step Rare Groove classic, which we can only compare in the highest esteem to an
out take from Marvin Gaye or Leon Ware.  It oozes sheer class with rasping horns and Tunnie showing he 
hasn't lost any of the singing prowess he got singled out for as a young boy in1971.
"I Found A Miracle" is a slightly slower affair than the A side but still kicks a punch. It starts with pounding drums
and again those cascading strings whilst Tunnie's scatting vocals flow until the verse arrives.
It is a powerful beat ballad-esque song that sits perfectly back to back with "Dancing On Da Cloud."
We at Super Disco Edits are very excited to be able to bring you the first instalment of Mr TUNNIE SMITH!

Joel Holmes – Into The Abyss (Kryptox 2023)
Once known as a techno city, Berlin has quietly become the capital for jazz bands in recent years. While the queues in front of the techno clubs become shorter and shorter, the city is slowly converting into a melting pot for all sorts of musicians and artists with amazing instrumentalists, producers and bands from all over the world moving to the German capital to create a new scene. As a result, Berlin has come out with some of the craziest, non-conformist types of music. Toy Tonics sister label Kryptox has started to establish itself as a key platform for this new scene.
One of the protagonists of this scene is Joel Holmes, the former band leader of Carl Craig's synthesizer ensemble and keyboarder of (Grammy-nominated) cult band Roy Hargrove. Joel Holmes’ new album ‘Into The Abyss’ is a perfect capturing of the current moment in Berlin. The album features other main players of its new scene such as Ziggy Zeitgeist from Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, as well as tapping into international talent such as acclaimed flutist Tenderlonious from London.
Few people bridge the gap between jazz and electronic music as successfully as Holmes. Over the past years, he’s been working with some of jazz’s most relevant artists, incl. Roy Hargrove, Curtis Fuller, Javon Jackson, Nnenna Freelon, Curtis Lundy and Jimmy Cobb. Once tapped into electronic music too, he made records with legends such as Carl Craig. Working with techno artists made him curious about the new dance scene, resulting in his moved to Berlin, where he quickly started making music with the likes of Cody Currie and Kapote.
Joel describes the album in his own words as follows: "The next album "Into the Abyss" is the first time I recorded music through the lens of different landscapes and on 2 different continents reflecting the times of today’s music that is mirroring what is happening in our communities and worlds today. From dark colors to light, music is so diverse, and I tried to reflect this in my album. This is also the first time I have had this many special guests on an album. So I’m excited about this.“

Album release: 05.04.23
