I am extremely honored that DJ Alex Dimitri "South Soul" has agreed to be a Guest DJ on the Soul Sessions podcast.  THANK YOU ALEX!!.

When I first heard Alex' tracks, I could not believe that someone from Italy could possess so much soul... still can't believe it and once you hear his gospel house remixes  - you can feel that he really feels it.  Listen for yourself...

HERE IS ALEX' BIO

You can also check him out and hear his tracks on www.myspace.com/alexdimitri

It can be said of Alexander Dimitri, that he creates an ambiance that makes a lasting impression – always leaving the crowd wanting more. And when it’s all said and done, as the lights go on at the end of the night, the club-heads are rest-assured to still feel his vibe ringing in their ears as they drift off to sleep with a smile. Alex started out as a disc jockey when he was just 14 years old – playing for his peers at various events. It was at that age that he got a taste of the style of music that he truly loved - Garage and Soulful House – and it was at that period of time he became aware of what he was destined to do.

Born in Brindisi, Italy, which is located in the “boot� of Italy, Alex spent many years perfecting his craft and becoming a celebrity of sorts in his hometown where he would give command performances at numerous “Hot Spots�. In 1999, Alex decided to relocate to Rome because he was given an opportunity to headline at such clubs as Mountgay, with the ever-popular DJ Luis Radio from Equal REC, Classico Village, Saponeria (where he had a two year residency every Saturday), Download, Alien, The Woodoo Bar, Villa Coesia, Tatoo, Happening and a host of many others. He also had the honor of receiving invitations to do gigs at the famous G Lounge in Venice and the Club House in Reggio Calabria. Over the past decade,

Alex has had the good fortune to perform in some of the most elite venues in Italy and has been invited to be a part of some highly acclaimed events such as the Elements of Life Live Concert that featured Blaze, David Mancuso, Dofmaister and many others. In 2002, Alex decided to move back to Brindisi, where he played for an array of new clubs like Tribeka, Sound Club, Firenight, Vertigo, Menhir, Torre Regina and Le Corniche – continuing his beloved profession. It wasn’t until several years later that he decided to get into the producing and remixing aspect of the music field, thereby broadening his horizons and taking his talent to a new level – as many of our top DJs have done. This year has promised Alex’s breakthrough. He remixed the vocals of none other than the incomparable SuSu Bobien – creating a masterpiece that was selected out of hundreds of spec mixes which were submitted to the label, Soundmen on Wax, Ltd., for the Set Free Project.

His mix has been released in the United States and overseas and can also be found on Traxsource.com. One of his earlier remix productions in 2006 was with keyboardist extraordinaire Dieghito and lead singer Kika called “The Italian Style EP� which introduced the single “Look at You� – also available on Traxsource.com and has received numerous accolades in each evaluation from various magazines and DJ’s alike. Though Alex is busy remixing and producing – he still remains true to his roots and will be spinning at Bobbi & Steve’s party in Miami at the Winter Music Conference 2007 – which in itself is a huge honor. Other DJ’s include Ron Carroll – who is an inspiration of Alex’s as well as Tony Humphries.

In addition to Alex’s hectic schedule, he entered Gotta Keep Faith Records’ remix contest (submissions ended February 15, 2007) and placed in the top five for consideration of a future single release on GKF Records entitled “The First Time.�

Also, aside from being the new resident DJ at MAVU, that featured other guest DJ's like Louis Vega, Alex will be and branching out to different towns and cities all over the country. As of late, his remixing and productions are picking up with respect to the rework of Mr. Fuzz’ “First Time� on GKF Records; NYC Peech Boys on Soundmen on Wax Records; and currently “As� by the legendary Michael Watford also on Soundmen on Wax Records, Equal, Unified "Easy Living" Pevene Everett plus a project with Dieghito(Key) & Kika and the lyrics of Willy Washington.
