Profile

Born in 1983 in the city of Norwich, Al Tourettes (Alec Storey) comes from a family of musicians. He was exposed to electronic music at a very young age, due to his older brother Daniel’s fascination with break dancing and the now legendary ‘crucial electro’ series of compliations on Street Sounds. Daniel tragically passed away at the age of 7. It wasnt until many years later, during which time Alec had started DJ’ing, playing drums and become involved in the free party scene in Norfolk, that he rediscovered the series of compilations that had subconsciously inspired his love of electro, thanks to his late brother. Heavily influenced as much by the early electro funk sound as new school techno and electro, he started producing music at the age of 15 and has been hooked on electronics ever since.

 

Now living in Bristol where he studied music technology at university, Alec is now involved in a number of club nights, DJ’s and plays live on a regular basis. His live set consists of Electronic drum pads, a Laptop and controller setup. With many elements from Electro Bass, Techno and Electronica, his sets are characterised by complex poly rhythms, gritty sub bass and extreme digital effects processing, all bound together by a heavy dose of funk.
