A.V.D. (GER)

What makes a real artist? Maybe it's this ever-growing, undeniable passion for his work. Maybe it's this eternal urge to become more, to learn new things and to expand. But for sure it's this unique footprint, this unmistakable vibe that an artist is broadcasting." The footprint of A. V. D., former known as Alexander Vilar Diaz, is built of these elements: Energy. Skills. Charisma. Groove. His history with music and techno is a long and exciting journey, starting back in 1988 and influenced by both his home in Germany and his mother's sunkissed origin in Petín, Spain. Learning to play drums as a kid led to wild electronic nights during the Spanish summer, and after his first event with Ricardo Villalobos, Alex' soul was forever lost in techno – and his electronic path became clear and wide open. After years of being one half of „Díaz & Parrée", who released e.g. on Victor Calderone's imprint MATTER+ or have references like Richie Hawtin playing their tracks frequently, Alex felt an inner call to do something different, to go beyond what has been before and to reach for new musical ways to express himself: A.V.D. was born. The sound of A.V.D. is created with an intention to get your energetic juices flowing, awaken your rave DNA and let the floor freak out. Like philosophical teachings, each track has its own message and takes you on a journey with pumping drums, innovative percussions and sounds from outer space and inner worlds. Feelings of ecstacy alternate with moments of silence or surprising vocals. With an A.V.D. track, you can expect to go on a rollercoaster ride that may take your breath, if you let it in.
