Fil Alexander
A musician since the age of 13, Fil Alexander’s playing days stood him in good stead when he swapped his bass guitar for a career behind the decks. Fil first took to the turntables during an 18-month stint in Seoul. He landed his first gig six weeks after playing his first record and before leaving South Korea twice supported NRG master Yoji Biomeckanica. After returning to New Zealand, Fil started his own night, Saturation, in Timaru. It's proved a launchpad for his assault on the New Zealand scene. He was called up to support Daniel Ro at Fevah in August 2002 and now warms up for the world's best in his hometown of Christchurch, New Zealand. Fil is a resident DJ for Nrgize (www.nrgize.co.nz) as well as a regular at Nitrate, and has supported luminaries including James Lawson, K90, Matt Clarke, Ilogik, Phil Reynolds, DJ Scott Project, Tara Reynolds, Tom Harding, the Breakfastaz, the Rogue Element, Nick Sentience and countless other massive names as well as being one of four DJ’s selected from around the world to play at the 2006 “TattooNesia†festival in Tahiti. His last studio effort, a remix of Chromeo’s Fancy Footwork has had support from House and Electro legend Miles Dyson and New Zealand’s own Greg Churchill.
