Windcheater is Alex Rey a Producer/DJ from the UK, now living in Hiroshima, Japan. Alex has been producing dance music for just over ten years now, originally inspired by the rave scene in the UK of the early 90s and the night clubs of Brighton and London. The Brighton influence is obvious in early Windcheater material which was built around breakbeats. More recently though, Windcheater's sound has developed a much more 4 to the floor house and tech-house sound. Although Windcheater's music is intended for the dance floor it has also appeared in movies such as the Sony Picture Classic's 'Please give', the online dance game 'Audition', documentary films and short films too. Primarily a Producer, Alex started to perform as Windcheater around 6 years ago. Never completely happy with the electronic 'live' experience, he made the switch to straight DJing not long after. As a DJ, Windcheater delivers a house, tech-house sound with a heavy UK influence and a focus on tunes that get people dancing. He is resident at several club nights in Hiroshima city and has DJed at events including DJs such as Osaku Masashi, Ko Kimura, Rob Smith (AKA R.S.D.), ED2000, DJ Vela and Silva.
