prince alec
The mix of jazzy improvisation, lounge beats and samplers, which saxophonist, flautist and singer perform on his second album, appeals to jazz fans as well as club goers. Prince Alec recorded fifteen tracks that are partially instrumental and partially with guest singers Inusa and Yasmin K, which lie somewhere between cool beach club soundtrack and avant-garde funk.
As a teenager, Prince Alec (his real name being Alexander Wilken) was a member of the country’s youth jazz orchestra and the Westcoast-Big band. He performed live in Poland, Moscow, Switzerland and Germany, and in doing so blurred the borders between jazz and dance music. This particularly shows in his improvisations on DJ sets such as Boris Dlugosh's. He also blurs the borders with Jazzloungemusic: Prince Alec composed songs for companies like Porsche, and clubbers would chill to his music on the Elbe beach and the banks of the Isar.
Jazzloungemusic has mass appeal. Moby-like melancholy tracks such as “Dive into the Ocean“ have their place, as do stirring Latin hits like “Tequila Night”. With “Little Flower,” he shows a romantic side, as opposed to “Give me the Groove” where the name suggests the feel of the song.
