Biografie
Alexander Lay-Far – is a Moscow-based DJ and producer. For the last 6 years he has been a driving force behind soulful and eclectic music scene in Russia, hosting his well-acclaimed podcast "In-Beat-Ween Sessions" and organizing music events as a part of different music communities in such Moscow venues as Kult, 16 Tons, Shanti, IKRA and others.
Lay-Far managed to get the international recognition as a skilful dj and selector, seamlessly bridging the gaps between deep, Detroit and soulful house, rare disco grooves, funk, broken beats, brazilian music, afrobeat and delivering a unique sonic mixture to satisfy one's body, mind and soul. The man has got the funk! No wonder he shared the decks with the likes of Craig Smith, Mark Pritchard, Dego from 4hero, Alex Barck, DJ Food, Kev Beadle, DJ Krush, DJ Cam, Seiji, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Mad Mats, Blockhead, Red Rack'Em, etc. at local and international music festivals and events.
With multiple releases under his belt on such renowned labels, as 4Lux, Tokyo Dawn, Tru Thoughts, Amplified, Development Music, City Fly or Freestyle Records Lay-Far has been gaining constant support from the likes of Jimpster, Laurent Garnier, Joey Negro, Move D, Rainer Truby, Alex Barck, Gerd, Simbad, Josh Wink, Daz-I-Kue, Recloose just to name a few.
Apart from his solo works and projects Lay-Far has been collaborating with Yannah Valdevit, Peter Oakden (Restless Soul), Sarah Winton, Souled, Dragon, Positive Flow, Pete Simpson, Kira Neris, Aroop Roy and other independent musicians worldwide.
The year 2013 has seen him releasing the sun-fuelled " The Earliest, The latest…EP" on a Spanish imprint JD Records (Subwax Bcn) with a classic remix from the Detroit-city legend Terrence Parker; "The Green EP" on the new "Fifty Fathoms Deep" label run by Craig Smith (6th Borough Project) and Peter Oakden; co-producing Yannah Valdevit's single on the highly-respected Tru Thoughts Recordings among many other things. Still in the pipeline this year: EPs on Visky Recordings, Amp-Art Recordings and Roots Underground.
Lay-Far's debut album is about to drop in October 2013 on the US label Glenview Records!
