About ALEX PRESTON
Trail blazing record labels across his hub and elegantly shifting house music enthusiasts in the right direction, Sydney’s Alex Preston paces his unmissable path to electronic music prestige. In the pool of electro house, he floats amongst the realm of his own self-produced beats from start to finish, while his studio dabbles across the progressive and tech house notions for a spicy tinge on all things electronic. Demonstrating intricately detailed production with two originals and two remixes in the ARIA Top 50 in one week, Alex Preston is known for carving the marks in the electronic road.
Alex Preston’s musical stamina shows off within self-run label Preston Recordings, breaking down boundaries with legitimate beats and a saturated punch. On original get ups for Klub Kids, Big Rekkords and remixes out on Ultra Records, Ministry of Sound and Safari, this Sydney sider has all bases covered. Breaking the #11 spot on the ARIA Club Chart saw ‘let’s Get Ill’ with Kid Kenobi who Alex has also ran the touring game with for the collaboration. On the Beatport movement, ‘Rocket’ grabbed #15 on the Electro House Chart while climbing to a fitting #37 spot on the overall ranks. As a music teacher, its Alex’s pristine skills that also allow his most talented young guns to surface from from the bedroom to the Beatport ladders.
With a copious train of musical thought to rattle Alex Preston’s barrage of studio ideas, the taints from Eric Prydz, Merk & Kremont, Tommy Trash and more have set the benchmark for this far-from-mediocre artist. Upcoming calendars galvanize the release of his anticipated album ‘No Matter’, pumping the gas on his beast of house music produced, mastered and promoted by yours truly. Erupting in perfect time, Alex Preston reels in musical transformation where the sounds match the vision.
