Background
Label founder Alex Tronic - (Paul Croan) had previously released and licenced music to many labels notably Koyote/Peyote Records and Cherry Red Records in 2000. He also scored music for film and TV.
Alex Tronic Records was created in 2005 and their debut release was ÅsA - On/Off which was released to widespread acclaim. Other signings followed including Keser, Roys Iron DNA and Pockets of Resistance.
Keser and ÅsA went on to tour in Scandinavia after their releases. Roys Iron DNA toured with the Lo-Fidelity Allstars and The Go! Team.
Alex Tronic Records' own Recording Studio in central Edinburgh was proving to be pivotal in discovering newly emerging talent as well as developing their current artists.
The label's first compilation album brought these talents together and was a successful venture. The Skinny magazine described the album as "a brilliant exhibition of talent... On the whole the album is extremely varied. The only thing which doesn’t change is the production quality and raw talent, which is consistent throughout."[1]
Future Music magazine awarded the Alex Tronic Volume 1 compilation album 7/10 and described it as "an eclectic and engaging debut...well worth checking out"[2]
ATR Volume 1 gained radio play worldwide including BBC Radio 1.
In 2007 Alex Tronic Records signed distribution deals with Cargo Records in the U.K. and Arabesque which covers European territories, and more signings soon followed.
Croan's own album 'Alex Tronic - To Infinity' was released on ATR in February 2009, and features contributions from artists on ATR. A follow up was released in 2010 entitled 'Back in the Room', and another entitled 'Shifting Sands' in 2011.
Electricals EP is Alex Tronic's latest release, which features vocalist Kirsty Brown and also includes remixes by ATR artist Snakestyle. The ideas and recordings for the EP began during Summer 2011, when Croan relocated to Ibiza to DJ and record. The EP was completed in Edinburgh during winter 2011/2012.
