Alexander Kotz, born in london in 1992, grew up in beaconsfield. he writes the songs, produces the records and sings on them himself, which is rarer in this lane than it sounds. not a vocalist for hire, not an instrumental producer.

"Cola" with CamelPhat in june 2017 went to number one on the us dance club chart and got a grammy nomination for best dance recording. it is still his biggest at close to half a billion plays.

three albums. the first on Parlophone, then he took the next two onto his own Mine Recordings, which he has been running quietly ever since.

The new music I'm working on, I am specifically excited about, as I'm tapping back into that 'rawness' you mentioned. Not so minimalist as before, but definitely more organic and real.

his 2026 singles are landing on Counter Records, part of Ninja Tune, which is the first time he has sat with an independent of that size. asked whether he would open Mine to other artists, he said he would.

Absolutely. Might get this next album out of the way first and get it going.
