ARTIST SHOWCASE: Alexi Delano




Born in Chile, raised in Sweden, and living in Brooklyn, Alexi Delano's background and consequently, his musical tastes, are as cosmopolitan as you'll find. Also appearing as A.D. 1010 or ADNY on his productions, Delano made his stellar debut on Cari Lekebusch's Hybrid label and has since produced a lengthy discography on such labels as Missile, Steve Bug's imprint Raw Elements, Plumphouse, Svek, Harthouse, Tora Tora Tora, Trusoul, CSM, Moody, Syndicato, Laurent Garnier's F Communications, Jericho, Primevil, Christian Smith's Strive and Tronic labels, Earthtones, Plastic City, Audiomatique, Chris Fortier's Fade label, and his own ADLtd. He is the consummate collaborator, having worked with Cari Lekebusch, Jesper Dahlback, Adam Beyer, Casey Hogan, Tony Rohr, Lucas Rodenbush, John Selway, Tim Taylor and Santiago Ferrer aka Xpansul. Though his productions are very diverse, he is most well known for his cultivation of a new acid sound and for tracks with swirling pitch-sweeping samples that start deep but build into a frantic frenzy.

Here are a couple samples of his work:

Input Quantize
Brooklyn Social
Lost 4 Words
Wanna Be Bad
Formula Humo
Echolocation
Cosmic Antipathy


You can check out his new work at his Myspace page. He's currently touring Europe with performances slated for London, Madrid, Frankfurt, and Fuse in Belgium.
