alexander maier (aka dj all*star) began his career playing underground techno. Over the years he became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house, so he quit the techno stuff in 1994 and became one of the few local house djs in stuttgart.
Today alex is of the most popular and (inter-)nationally booked djs of stuttgart’s deep-, minimal-, tech- & electrohouse-scene.
In the summer of 2000 dj all*star’s second release on exun records, became one of the most played tracks all over europe. ‘Caribbean souls’ has been featured on mtv, & played relentlessly by danny rampling & the brit jockey pack on several ibiza summer events.
2002 Alexander returned with luxus - a massive, latin inspired track, which set the rooves on fire, especially in several dj-sets & radio-shows in ibiza & south-africa. In the meantime luxus has been licensed by various labels and to various compilations.
His last remix for dj del costa & pedro goya of freaky mike entered the german club charts (dcc). This stunning electro monster has been played all over europe.
In 2003 alexander founded, together with his dj-mate john disco, the electro-minimal-funk-punk-project kleinkariert (www.Kleinkariert.Net).
His single l.E.A., Released in june 2005 on exun records, caused trouble on dancefloors worldwide and got charted by many recommended djs such as ben watt, fafa monteco, david duriez & linus.
In march 2006 alexander’s last quality production “e.M.O.” Was released on exun records. Simple yet effective, and played by the likes of carl craig, laurent garnier, dj linus and phonique.
Due to some changes on exun records alexander found new homebases to supply the scene with his soulful deep electro productions.
He is very proud to sign to buzzin’ fly, the label of ben watt (everything but the girl).
“Road of injury” which has been released in january ’07 & comes with another great track “made in nebraska”, also by alexander on the b-side. This 12″ already caused a lot of trouble in the whole scene and has been featured in magazines like dj mag, m8, update or touch and entered the cool cuts charts as well as the playlists of ben watt, laurent garnier, sasse, stefan mandrax, layo, paulette and many more. This piece of deep-house for electronic lovers also entered the top3 techno downloads on the well known beatport.Com online-store for electronic music.
“Ino” is another wicked deep neo-trance track, which has been released in february on berlin’s upcoming label criminal records. This track comes with an awesome remix from sian and is going to enter the charts and playlists of a lot of the likes as well.
His next single has been released in july on robotronic records / paris (the label of dj fex). “Tom” is a very warm, soulful and trancey anthem that comes along with 2 mixes by alexander maier himself one together with mister reuber (26th century) and has already been featured by the covermount cd of the “dj magazine” / april issue mixed by ben watt.
Beside his own releases alex already finished 4 remixes. One for his buddies reuber & richter “soul seeker” has already been released on robotronic records. Also released and causing some troubles with the brits is his remix for frankie flowerz “sweetdreams” on the upcoming label hypercolour. Within the next weeks another fine piece of quality remixing is going to be published on mood music for the belgium guys mugwump.
Latest, he already finished his next single, which is going to be released in summer 2008 on sasse aka freesyle man label moodmusic. Some new remixes for labels like fresh meat, heavy wax and many more are already in work.
So watch out for this talented guy from stuttgart germany!
