Alex Fisher grew up in the West of Scotland and began DJing about in 2004, taking initial influence from some of the more subtle house DJs of that time - Sillicone soul, i-cube, bobby peru and Brett Johnson were key figures. Originally from an Indie/rock background, though always with a ravenous appetite for music, he connected with the lure of House music before learning to appreciate the energy of Techno. Clubs like Subclub, The Soundhaus, Club Metro and Club 69 helped sew the first seeds of an electronic music education. Alex bought his first set of decks and picked up DJing as an "i'll show you" to his mates who had laughed him off a first shot at an after party in Aberdeen. The next time he returned up north was to play in Club Metro (who the night before had Dave Clark playing and Sillicone Soul the night after). He then returned to Glasgow and started a night called Nascent at various venues around the city including Club 69. Time moved on and so did his Nascent companion so apart from being a quest at a few local nights he started his current night Autokrat. The night progressed over a year in bar Pivo before moving to current location Barfly. Skip forward to 2007. Some things have changed, but plenty haven't. The minimal steamroller has passed on through, leaving many flat tracks and some questionable haircuts in its wake. As Autokrat was progressing Alex started to play about with production. Irrespective of fads and trends, to him its all about representing quality Electronic music. He picked up a midi keyboard and a copy of reason and starting producing with little regard for the boundaries between House and Techno, much less the swathe of pointless sub -genres in between. the result was his 'live' alias Midular. After a successful joint live set with him and his co Autokrat resident Dave Meike he upped his production and his hardware. Midular now has more than 15 tracks with a wide range of rhythms and textures
