Alex Figueira

This Venezuelan-Portuguese musician, producer, DJ and record collector now operates from Amsterdam. His industry nickname? The Hardest Working Man in Tropical Music . After many other projects he now comes with his solo debut, 'Mentallogenic'. He then mixes lesser-known subgenres from Latin America and Africa, among others, with soul and funk from times long gone. It has already earned him compliments from none other than Gilles Peterson.
