Born in 1983 in the city of Norwich, Al Tourettes (Alec Storey) comes from a family of musicians. He was exposed to electronic music at a very young age, due to his older brother Daniel's fascination with break dancing and the now legendary 'Crucial Electro' series of compilations on Street Sounds. Daniel tragically passed away at the age of 7. It wasn’t until many years later, during which time Alec had started DJ’ing, playing drums and become involved in the free party scene in Norfolk, that he rediscovered the series of compilations that had subconsciously inspired his love of electro, thanks to his late brother. Heavily influenced as much by the early electro funk sound as the new school techno and electro of artists such as Cristian Vogel, Volsoc, and Si Begg he started producing music at the age of 15 and has been hooked on electronics ever since. Now living in Bristol where he studied music technology at university, Alec is involved in a number of club nights and free parties, and DJ's and plays live on a regular basis. His live set consists of electronic drum pads, a laptop and controller setup. With many elements from electro-bass, techno and electronica, his sets are characterised by complex poly rhythms, gritty sub bass and extreme DSP, all bound together by a heavy dose of funk. Kracktronik first became aware of his musical talents having heard his superb contribution to ‘Remedies for nervous disorders and hearing’ (Growth003), and when we heard a CD of new productions it was evident straight away that we had to do a full EP. The four tracks on ‘When bodies collide’ show a range of styles, from the brutal beats and bassline assault of the title track to the deeper and spacier electro moves of ‘Prick’. Unifying the whole EP is an obvious love for deep bass, and an understated but detailed quality that means the tracks will storm through a good system. Once again Kracktronik bring you the hottest tracks from the freshest artists!
