Repeatedly called one of techno's true maverick producers, Alex Neumann has been working on his particular vision of Techno, House, and Electronica since the early nineties without ever being awarded with the transient attention of being in the limelight.

Nonetheless, he could win over many famous DJs with his idiosyncratic productions, and is commonly seen as a musicians' musician. His exstatic, psychedelic, and funky live-sets are traded as special recommendations for true music lovers and keen dancers. There simply is not much out there that sounds like him.

Under his various guises, Alex has released more than 50 vinyls, and is present on countless compilations. As Alex Cortex, from his early days on Move D's legendary Source Records, his releases are nothing short of exceptional. Since 2011 he also releases as LD Nero, where he dropped successful records on Get Physical Music, Gerd Janson's labels Running Back, among others.

Together with legendary producer and mastering engineer LOPAZZ he forms the freestyle techno duo Bad Cop Bad Cop, who released visionary leftfield music on Killekill, Pomelo, MNX, Kahlwild, and Lasergun. He also works on movie scores, music for ads and PR, as well as doing sound design.

Ever since his first vinyl release in 1996, he has been playing gigs as DJ and LIVE all over Europe. He appeared at big venues like London's Fabric or Berlin's Berghain, as well as smaller but not less legendary clubs like Barcelona's Moog or Hamburg's Golden Pudel.
