DJ SET/ PRODUCER TECHNO / LIVE PA

Dj Alex Strunz always liked electronic music, since the beginning by groups like New Order, Front 242 and Depeche Mode.

The “Detroit Strunz” piece was first done on vinyl by the seal ‘Brasil with S 002’ (Ep-2002), having also other dj performances by: Murphy (Brasil with S/ Definition Records) and Philip Braunstein (Dark House/Brasil with S/ Superbra). The same year was also one independent collection having 11 titles and some special participants.

Halfway through 2005 The Vector Commander project was changed to reach new fusions and sonorities leaving behind the analogical sound, but keeping always the Dark dancing atmosphere.

Towards the end of 2005, caused by a deep research in experiences, new equipment and a new technology appeared in his LIVE PA with analogical lines but without any boundaries and always with live intervention as a key factor. Thus was incorporated new effects, vocoders in live situation by Alex Strunz creating a real Techno show.

In 2006 he was invited to join a new multimedia seal by the name of Tensionworks with his friend Nimitz, dedicated to electronic music, but more specifically Techno music and visual digital arts.
