Today, his sets are a whirlwind of energy, blending hard techno, hard groove, hard trance, and industrial beats, ensuring that his audience is always on their toes, immersed in the sonic journey he curates.

In 2022, Alex's vision took tangible form with the inception of the RUSH RAVE project. This was not just another project but a reflection of his understanding and interpretation of the "techno rave" concept. Drawing inspiration from the Western sound and the pulsating rave culture, RUSH RAVE is Alex's endeavor to build a robust techno community and diversify the local underground scene.
