Alex Phountzi

Alex has been producing and releasing music since the late 90s and was a founding member

of West London collective, Bugz In The Attic. Their many high points included albums for

FabricLive and a debut LP on V2 recordings as well as numerous remixes for artists

including, 4hero, Roisin Murphy, Amy Winehouse and Fela Kuti.

An early project of note was Neon Phusion, a 3 piece group alongside Kaidi Tatham and

Afronaut, their debut album, ‘The Future Ain’t The Same As It Used To Be’ is widely

regarded as being one of the first LP’s to lay the blueprint for the ensuing broken beat

movement which took shape at the now legendary CoOp club night.

Having left the collective in 2008, he went on to start the Greenmoney production and label

project with YoYo’s Leo Greenslade. The pair released a debut EP on A-Trak’s Fools Gold

label and hosted a weekly show on Ministry of Sound and Brooklyn radio and worked with

and released music from numerous producers and artists including Terri Walker, Major

Notes, and Roses Gabor as well as delivering remixes for acts such as Aswad, Zed Bias and

Gyptian.

2013 saw the start of the NameBrandSound project with long-term friend, collaborator and

legendary London producer, IG Culture. A debut EP was released via Ninja Tune Records.

Two events in conjunction with Boiler Room saw the pair launch the CoOp Presents club

nights and record label. In addition, they hosted a monthly radio show on Gilles Peterson’s

Worldwide FM and club events across London and beyond. Recent production and remix

credits include Allysha Joy, Da Lata, T Williams and LCSM.
