Als Alex Christensen im Oktober 2017 sein ambitioniertes Projekt Classical 90s Dance veröffentlichte, war ihm die Neugierde von Kollegen, Fans und Medien gewiss. Als wichtigster deutscher Impulsgeber der Techno-, Dance- und Eurodance-Bewegung, erarbeitete er sich zunächst als DJ und Komponist, schnell aber auch als Producer Weltruhm. Plötzlich sollte der Mann, der seit Anfang der 90er-Jahre vorzugsweise im Hintergrund die musikalischen Strippen für über 40 Millionen verkaufter Tonträger zog, erklären, was es mit Classical 90s Dance auf sich hatte. Dass einer wie er eine persönliche Auswahl charakteristischer Hits des Genres neu arrangierte und mit dem 49-köpfigen Berlin Orchestra aufnahm, schuf Aufmerksamkeit.
Chairman of the Bishop Production (created in 1977), his name has become a synonym of high-quality Eurodance.
Axel was born on 21st August 1957 in Rheydt. He had high industrial education (specialized in metals and construction), but music took over in his life. His strong side was always composing. He literally lives in his recording studio. Already for his first hardrock band 2nd Hand he wrote the main songs, but real success came to him in German pop music. During his 'pre-Silent Circle' years he has composed about 150 songs, among others in 1982 for totally unknown artists by that time.
As a keyboardist and composer he created the group Silent Circle, with the vocalist Martin Tychsen AKA Jo Jo Tyson and the drummer CC Behrens, in the mid-1980s.
Released in 1987 as a stopgap, the remix album You Can Dance reworks material from Madonna's first three albums…
For "Classical 90s Dance 3" Alex Christensen has again brought national and international superstars as guests into the studio: Natasha Bedingfield, Maite Kelly, Eloy de Jong, Thomas Anders and Giovanni Zarrella. There is a reunion with one or the other voice of the first two albums like Yass, Linda Teodosiu, Asja Ahatovic and Polina.
