We are delighted to present our special host for 083; Visions Inc. label co-founder, DJ/Producer, and vibes aficionado Alex Attias. He's got a special ear for Jazz, House, Funk, and more; with a career spanning back to the late 80s controlling dancefloors. It was during these years and the early 90s that he DJ'd regularly in Lausanne, Switzerland; eventually establishing himself as one Switzerland's most respected DJs with his own exclusive weekly night, The Jackals. From there much success continued in Alex's legacy with several singles, remixes, collaborations, label appearances with a dynamic range of genres and artists. He's worked with artists from Sun Ra and Ennio Morricone to Laurent Garnier, Roni Size, and Madlib, and that's just a small few; so
It was only natural that he have an exclusive label, and in 1999, he and his brother Stephane Attias established the record label Visions Inc., jointly in London, UK and Switzerland. Aptly named, Visions Inc provides a platform where Deep House, Jazz, Breakbeat, Soul- the Organic and the Electronic exist as one Deep Family.
The label made a deep vision promptly with its first release, the excellent Future Jazz EP, produced by Alex under his Mustang alias. Visions Inc continued to establish its name and vision in the 2000s as a successful label - From 1999 to 2007, Visions Inc released music from Alex(Freedom Soundz) and his brother Stephane Attias, Plutonia (with Dego), Nanami Togarishi, Domu, and Neroli Records founder Volcov among others. Expansion also naturally occurred during this time leading to the creation of sub labels and party nights Freedom Soundz and LillyGood Party! respectively. For a few years dedication was placed to both these labels and party nights as Visions Inc didn't release directly during this period. 2017 saw the transition of Lillygood Party! from not only a party night, but sublabel of Visions Inc., dedicated to reissuing fully licensed edits Stephane & Alex made in rare Jazz, Disco, House and any other groovy stuff, several of which they played at the famous and ongoing Lillygood party events. In addition, Visions Inc returned strong with releases from some of the best in Deep House including: Alex Attias himself, Anthony Nicholson, Trinidadian Deep, Lars Bartkhun, Javonntte, Patrice Scott, Hanna, and Kai Alce just to give an idea of the vast quality this label has curated recently, as Visions Inc, continues keep the standard high for over 20 years strong. Alex Attias's taste and demand is still as high as ever, as when it comes to moving the crowd with both vintage and new, he is always clever. He is currently working on collaborative projects with BBE to unearth even more Deep Soul history with the volume 2 of his compilation ...you can expect a taste of this, Deep House, Jazz, and more Deep Vibes so tune into Vol.83 and let Alex Attias take your mind and soul on a ride.
