K’ Alexi Shelby about love of fresh and memorable productions
K’ Alexi Shelby is a Chicago house pioneer who put out his first records late-80s. And he’s still there keeping spreading the essence of the genre through his own releases and his labels TecSoul Deep, Black13 and K Klassik. We were lucky to meet while him being in Paris for a gig @ 4 Eléments. So, here is the part of our long chat (2nd part will be published in winter).
Soundtracks (provided by K’ Alexi himself): Acid King (Original) + Klassik Strings (Wayne Gray solo)
interviewer/producer: Lanto Ratsimbazafy
