Biography:
X_FR — the sonic identity of Alexander Kotlov, a sound producer and DJ from Novosibirsk, the beating heart of Siberia. As a co-founder and visionary of the label [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB], Alexander is a pioneer of a unique musical movement that channels the spirit of his homeland. Born in 1983, he has journeyed from a passionate love for music to crafting an entire universe of sound — one that leaves no listener untouched. As one of the label's key ideologists, he shapes not only the sound but the very philosophy of contemporary dub techno. X_FR is, indeed, the architect of Siberian sound.
Under the moniker Oldschool_Dubtechno .Producer, in a creative alliance with his brother ENERCUBE, Alexander weaves sonic tapestries where simplicity meets brilliance. Their tracks transport listeners to the soul of Siberian landscapes — rugged, majestic, yet profoundly meditative. The music of X_FR is a true alchemy of sound, where the shadows of basslines intertwine with the tenderness of melodies, and minimalism unfolds into boundless depth. In the work of the two brothers, a rare harmony emerges — the product of a shared vision and familial connection. Their tracks awaken the inner world of the listener, inviting moments of mindfulness and introspection. It is art inspired by the raw beauty of nature, yet designed to resonate with the rhythms of urban life.
Every year, Alexander delights his audience with a special long-play mix recorded to celebrate his birthday. These mixes are more than collections of tracks — they are musical time capsules, curated from his most cherished selections that have accompanied him throughout the years. A heartfelt gift to all who value honest and authentic music.
