Alex Cortax, whose real name is Alexis Costa, is a young French composer of Electro Dance Music ( EDM), Electro and House.  Passionate about music, the electronic music influences came from his mother – Alex defines himself as part of a world that is both modern and futuristic, His steps into the musical arena came at the age of 14, wring strong compositions at the age of 15.

Starting on “Asus” then drifting on “Macbook pro” Alex Cortax is relentless, writing and re-mixing tracks, being influenced by artists such as Gregori Klosman, Sidney Samson, Nicky Romero and Aviccii.

He started on software such as ‘Virtual DJ’, purchasing a controller ‘Nurmark’ with ‘Tracktor’ software, ending up on Pioneer CDJ2000 decks with ‘Serrato’.

When it comes to production, Alex works with ‘FL Studio’, ‘Logic Pro’ and ‘Ableton’.

His visual identity is a concrete example of his artistic influences.  His logo reflects his personality, living in a futuristic environment with strong grey and robotic typology set against a burgundy background – colour dynamics which give a ‘sense of motion’ – watchwords in Alex Cortax’s vocabulary.

London’s iconic Ministry of Sound will play host to the first ever Car Boot Disco on 24th November. The Sunday afternoon Ministry party combines music, fashion and swapping to encourage young people to update their wardrobe by exchanging and customising clothes instead of spending on fast fashion.

The event launches vInspired’s Get Trashed campaign to save over 10,000 clothes from landfill before the end of the year. It will create a tribe of young people dedicated to re-using, recycling and having fun – whilst looking good at the same time. Young people will feel part of a movement, putting the issue of waste front of mind – empowering them to run their own events and spread the message via the Do Something channels, social media and word-of-mouth.

This free party is aimed at young people in London who are bored with their wardrobes and want a fresh update, but without the cost. vInspired is inviting anyone with swap-able clothes to come along to the event and take home something that is new to them but unwanted by someone else.

Rising fashion designers will be on hand, hosting special areas of the super-club to provide unique professional customisation like studding, badging and ripping – ‘pimping’ up tired looking items. Fashion scouts will be attending the Ministry of Sound event, looking for potential models who can rock any outfit – old or new – making this the perfect chance to showcase individual style.

Spinning the perfect soundtrack to for a Sunday afternoon session will be some of the very best DJs from the UK’s dance music scene who will be hitting the decks for the duration of the event. Remixing music alongside the remixed fashion.

Tickets to the event are free; for more information please visit www.vinspired.com/gettrashed <http://www.vinspired.com/gettrashed>
