"The whole party is like a movie. And while you are the mainactors, I´m just delivering the soundtrack."
DJ / LABELOWNER OF CREDO / CO-FOUNDER OF DBH MUSIC / RECORDING ARTIST ON CREDO, COCOON AND MANY MORE
An affection to vinyl at an early stage is most probably the best precondition to become somebody finally ending up playing those vinyls for people. Somebody with a musical background. Somebody picking the right record at the right time. Somebody serving and educating people at the same time. Somebody being called a DJ.
This fascination for records, starting in the mid 80ies as a collector, and later on in the early 90ies as a DJ still is burns with Alex from deep inside. After years of touring th world, from Europe to Australia, Asia to America and back and all over again, and playing at countless clubs and festivals with a complex, digital setup, Alex decided to return to vinyl as a statement and confession to the basic art of Djing. Why? Because he can. And because of the fact that it`s the music that counts. It has to be seleced by the DJ, carefully curated and played on spot. It`s the music which has the impact on the visitors of the club or festival so that their reaction scales the intensity of this particular experience. It ́s the music which is the key element for a good performace and which has to be supported by a good, powerful soundsystem, a fitting surrounding and the technical way it is performed. Equal to the formula „the whole party is like a movie and while the people on the dancefloor are the mainactors, I am just delivering the soundtrack.“
This exactly is Alex Bau`s Credo. Not hard to find the connection to the name of his label. And it does not only apply to his DJ performances. His numerous productions on labels like Cocoon, previously also on CLR or Sleaze any many more, but mainly on Credo, perfectly reflect the idea of creating the tension by quality and subtile change and progress which is needed to finally bring something to explode.
Alex has been touring the world from end of the 90`s / early 2000`s onwards til he pandemic hit nightlife in a way nobody would have ever imagined. The list of cities and venues all over the planet is impressive, but too long to list here and Alex never has been a guy to shine by showing off.
Though still touring and playing from time to time, he meanwhile describes himself as a "dj-retiree" which doesn´t mean he`s getting any less loud or lazy when standing behind the decks, but his focus has shifted a bit. Anyway, still, quality powerful and driving techno paired with atmospheric, outstanding, timeless and to some extend melodic electronic music is what to expect from Alex behind the wheels of steel and to be pulled out of his record bags.
