About:
Alex Physalis music producer, sound designer, 3D artist, visual designer, vegan pastry instructor, photographer
Alex Physalis (aka Dread) is an unique artist, sound designer, music producer, and innovator whose contribution to the development of alternative electronic music is immense. With almost two decades of experience in sound design and music, Alex is an integral figure in the formation of the fresh musical direction – Neurobreaks – and one of the leading representatives of the dark and heavy side of the Drum & Bass genre.
Currently, Alex actively collaborates with the largest global distributor and sample pack label Big Fish Audio, creating innovative sample packs both through this partnership and under his own label, Alex Physalis. His works continue to set new standards in sound design, combining high professionalism, top quality, and a creative approach, making them highly sought after by music producers worldwide. Alex does not conform to traditional genre boundaries, always striving to discover new, fresh, and unique sounds. Whether it’s Breaks, Trap, Electro, Drum and Bass, or OST music, each of his works maintains a distinctive style that is easily recognizable. Some of his tracks are hard to categorize into a specific genre, it highlights his originality and uniqueness. Alex's music is always intellectual, rich in deep, and takes the listener on an emotional journey, leaving vivid and unforgettable impressions. His creative career began under the artist name Dread, when his sample packs, which became bestsellers on the Loopmasters platform, caused a real sensation. Soon, his works were awarded the prestigious VIP Music Producers Awards by Loopmasters. These sample packs had a significant impact on the development of heavy and dark trends in Drum & Bass and Crossbreed, and his collaborations with legendary labels such as Industrial Strength Records, Zenhiser, Diginoiz and Function Loops solidified his status as one of the leading sound design masters. His samples received amazing reviews from authoritative magazines like Future Music Magazine and Computer Music Magazine, and Alex often featured in magazines such as DJ Mag and Mix Mag with his new music releases. After a brief pause related to his work in the pastry industry, Alex returned to music under the new alias Alex Physalis. His new style is a unique and innovative mix of original ideas, inspiration, and top-tier quality that touches on the deepest aspects of musical creativity. He also places particular emphasis on creating the visual components of his releases, from cover artworks to animations synchronized with the music. A key element for Alex Physalis’ music releases is that the cover artwork is created by him personally. It’s also important to note that Alex refuses to use neural networks in his work, believing that art should remain a creation of humans. As he says, "True art is human art." Today, Alex focuses a significant part of his attention on the Neurobreaks genre, which he continues to develop, bringing innovations and new ideas that contribute to the evolution of Breaks music as one of the most exciting directions in contemporary electronic music. Also you may feel a unique atmosphere mixing cyberpunk and fantasy in his new compositions, which are increasingly difficult to classify by genre. His works have become symbols of progress and uniqueness. Beyond music, Alex is a multifaceted individual: he is also a vegan pastry instructor, photographer, visual artist, and even a rescuer of homeless cats. These diverse aspects of his personality further enhance his uniqueness and allow him to approach creativity with special attention to detail, infusing each aspect of his art with elements from completely different fields of art.Currently Alex Physalis released on labels: as Alex Physalis: Audiogore (ES) Audio Swarm (UK) Banger (ES) Calligraphy (RU) Dirty Kitchen Rave (UK) High Resistance (RU) Lizplay (ES) Samay (ES)) Resurrection Community (RU) as Dread: Future Sickness (Belgium) Industrial Strength Records (USA) Midocracy (USA) Harder & Louder (Hungary) High Tree (Poland) Critical Bass (ES) Battle Audio Hardstyle Recordings Noisj (Netherlands)
