FIRE INSIDE

"In a world dominated by one dimensional pop music, Alexander Ross-Iver defines everything that a music maverick should epitomise. He is half Georgian and half Russian, but none of his family had a musical background. In fact both parents had a scientific background, an influence which he thinks, in part, may have led him to appreciate an experimental style relating to all forms of music he created as a youth right up to the present day. Alex has been part of the Moscow club scene for many years, with his Alexpop.com label being marked down as one of the most innovative exponents of avant garde electro pop outside Europe. He was educated in both Russia and the United States, hence giving his music a unique flavour combining experimental pop with an electro edge. His soul mates are the likes of Brian Eno, Phillip Glass, The Knife, Kraftwerk, Yello, through to Yonderboi and La Dusselldorf. In fact pretty much anything that doesn’t fit neatly into a packaged music box that makes the listener feel comfortable and at ease. Alex Ross-Iver truly pushes the boundaries of experimentalism. It was his pulsating experimentalism and thought provokingly complex musical compositions which came to the attention of two equally maverick musicians. The Icelandic pair of Gisli Kristjansson, part of the hugely successful Waterfall production team out of Norway and a Number 1 hit maker in his own right, and the wonderfully talented Eliza Newman, whose band, Bellatrix, gained huge critical acclaim releasing albums on Bjork’s , ‘Bad Taste’ label, turning her into one of Scandinavia’s most talked about and sought after vocalists. Together they tracked Alex Ross-Iver down and asked if they could create a soundscape for one of his most complex tracks, ‘Haused 2′. A track that if it were a book many would say it was impossible to turn it into a movie! Nevertheless, Gisli, Eliza and Alex have ended up creating a track which takes the listener on a magical mystery tour of their imaginations. ‘Fire Inside’ captures a feeling of tripping through clouds, chased by a Bond villain, finally ending up landing on an ice cap of emotion with a breathless vocal that oozes passion and dreams! This track embraces all the most magical elements of pop and avant garde experimentalism and will set Alex Ross-Iver on the road to finally translating success in the UK for a composer of thought provoking music that runs contrary to musical trends and passing fashions " - MusicCrown Magazine

"Fusing cutting-edge beats with distorted vocal samples, Alex Ross-Iver's music paints soundscapes in the mind and takes Brian Eno's concept of musical installations to another level for the 21st century". - Music Week Magazine

'4ROOM SONG' CARLOS PERON REMIX PRESS RELEASE:

Experimental producer Alex Ross-Iver has unveiled a new remix of his track ‘4 Room Song’ from influential Swiss musician, and YELLO founder, Carlos Peron.
Initially released in 2011, ‘4 Room Song’ sparked some first rate reviews. Notably the track was featured in Music Week and Ross-Iver experienced increased levels of exposure. Now, having caught the attention of Carlos Peron, Ross-Iver has seen the track remixed to create a new listening experience.

Speaking of Yello, Moby has stated that their music “belongs to the most Influential and Remarkable in Electronic Music". Peron has further explored Ross-Iver’s song, bringing out the sultry vocal melodies and warm synthesisers. Elsewhere, the cultured electronic beats and distorted guitars signify the distinct Alex Ross-Iver sound.

'INDIE STAR' Remix Press Info

Alex Pop Project is pleased to announce the release of their indie-electro single "Indie Star" remixed by legendary Glasgow, UK producer, composer and guitarist Gordon "Gordy" Goudie (Echo and The Bunnymen, Simple Minds).

"Goudie's remix brings a distinctive indie electro-rock/industrial sound to the experimental, avant-garde track," said Alexander Ross-Iver, the Georgian artist/songwriter and producer behind Alex Pop Project. Ross-Iver said he was thrilled to work with Goudie because of his stellar work as both a producer and musician with bands like 80s icons Echo and The Bunnymen and Simple Minds. "He did a fantastic job remixing my weird, eclectic song," Ross-Iver said. Goudie entered the UK music scene in the mid-1980s, as the rhythm guitarist with The Primevals, and quickly became a renowned composer, musician and producer in the UK. His work with Simple Minds began in 2001, as a producer and musician (bass, guitar and keyboards) with the albums Neon Lights and Cry. Most recently, Goudie appeared on the new Simple Minds album, Acoustic, featured on guitar and harmonica. Goudie joined Echo and The Bunnymen as a guitarist in their touring band in the mid-2000s and remains in their current lineup. Ross-Iver, who launched his international career as the founder of Alex Pop Project, has been hailed as "one of the most innovative exponents of electronic experimentalism to have come out of Eastern Europe," and remains one of the few Eastern European artists to achieve success outside of his home country. His sound has been described as a mix of "the danceability of A-ha with the brashness of The White Stripes." Through Alex Pop Project, Ross-Iver constantly pushes musical boundaries, with his spirited combinations of avant-garde, experimental style and sound, and influences including Brian Eno, Phllip Glass, The Knife and Kraftwerk.

Alex Pop Project is also well-known for surprising and innovative collaborations. Carlos Peron, founder of Yello, remixed Ross-Iver's track "4 Room Song" in 2013. In 2015, Ross-Iver released the "catchy, edgy and seductive" Alternative Pop single "Wanna Be Your Man," featuring guest vocalist Les McKeown, the voice of 1970s pop superstars Bay City Rollers.
