Born on the last day of the year, inspired mostly by
Café Del Mar compilations in late 90’s, the chillout-ambient zone, modern
lounge tracks and by tranquility states with sophisticated moods, the summer,
cocktails and the ocean, Alex started producing relaxing music at some point in
2009, revealing the Openzone Bar project.
Influenced by artists like Enigma, Electribe 101, Blank & Jones, Lisa Shaw
, Afterlife, Lemongrass, Moodorama, Ohm-G, to name a few, he has developed this
Chillout project besides his main genre (Deep House), creating profound and
stylish sounds at the same time.
After working on his first album “The Tourist” in
2009, it saw the day on February 19th 2010 on Parasol Phonotheque, a German music label.
Containing 14 tracks, the album got some lounge flavors, soft ambiance with a
little bit of deep design, borrowed from his much known style, Deep House, that
he produces under his Addex alias. Songs from “The Tourist” began appearing on various compilations on
labels like Luxury House, KJU, Streetlight or Tronic Soundz, and have been
gaining a lot of attention.
In March 2012 he signed with a heavy label specialized
in releasing lounge music: Lemongrassmusic. The album “Lifestyle” was born
after almost one year in the making and marks the 2nd work of
Openzone Bar with a total of 15 tracks. For this album, Alex got some help from
his mate, Ilias Katelanos, who he has made several lounge tracks with - for
Sony Music and Oriental Garden. Now they have produced a collaboration track called
“On A Summer Drink” which represents nothing else but the chilling atmosphere
in summer with a cold drink.
Another partner on “Lifestyle” is well known vocalist Lex Cameron, who has
played alongside Chaka Khan, George Michael, Craig David, Anastacia. “Let it
flow” is the track that they wrote together with an R&B feeling around it.
Furtherly Alex has made contact to Airily, a new talented vocalist from Tokyo,
who started her music career in 2009 and has been releasing several works on Lemongrassmusic. “Kamome” is their collaboration track.
On “Lifestyle” Alex is expressing his soul and melodic
vision, combining deep and lounge worlds in a talented way.
