With the UK’s ‘Freedom Day’ of 19 July also comes the unlocking of countries all around the world, including in Australia, home country of rising House DJ Alex Preston. The Sydney native contributes to a worldwide party feeling today with his laidback, irresistible new slice of soul house ‘Lots Of Soulful Vocals’.

Luxuriating at a lower bpm, ‘Lots Of Soulful Vocals’ dives into the world of disco with Preston himself contributing funky basslines and moments of guitar playing too. Pulling the poolside anthem together is some inspired use of sampling, with a male, then a female, voice telling of the power of House. “Well, House music is about fun, it’s about love, it’s about unity, togetherness” the sample begins.

The DJ/surfer has raced to the forefront of house fans’ minds since the release of the massive ‘Love You Better’ in April 2021. That single is closing in on 1m streams on Spotify alone and has been played on BBC Radio 1 as well as Australia’s foremost radio station Triple J. Alex has also been receiving excellent club feedback, with several DJ’s including Jax Jones, Mark Knight, Mistajam and Arielle Free spinning - and backing - him.

"I’ve been listening to a lot of old Soul records lately and I wanted to incorporate some of those vibes into a classic house groove. I felt that the melodic parts of the track should have a real eclectic feel and then be complimented by a chunky contemporary house groove!"

The Pregame Series

The Pregame Series (NYE 2022 Midnight Mix) [December 059]

What do you get when you cross a DJ and producer with a penchant for club and bass bombs with a DJ and producer that has a deft knack for blinding main room bangers? You get a ridiculously big, peak time party weapon of course! Combining main room rave synths, a Herculean kick drum, euphoric builds, hype hip hop vox, killer fills, and a super dope trap breakdown Kid Kenobi and Alex Preston's brand new banger 'Let's Get Ill' is about to become the peak time of your party! And this is just the original! Wait until you hear the remixes! First up comes Melbourne legend Chardy who absolutely annihilates his remix with a devastatingly HUGE bounce rework (fark). Next up comes Stevie Mink who drops a stupidly enormous main room slayer (ouch!), followed by young gun on the rise Jay Karama who mixes bounce with main room for some more super ill vibes, Jealous Much? who comes correct with a super dope old school electro meets nu school bass rework (so dope!), Colour Castle who drops a big fat ghetto house cut, and last up one of our favourite up and comers Ayjay with a hard out main room rave remix! 
How sick is this? That’s right peeps - let's, get, ILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Forever innovating his sound, Alex Preston turns his hand at the deeper side of House music whilst still maintaining his signature chunky, jackin’ grooves. Alex Preston is a true ambassador of House music in Australia, having made waves with his summer anthem 'Love You Better' which racked up over 7 million streams, and AAA support on his recent Toolroom Trax release ‘Sticky Funk’ from Diplo, Sam Divine and Dombresky.

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!
