Born in Chile and raised in Sweden, Alexi Delano took to the decks in the early '90s, playing a combination of hip hop, funk, and soul. At a mere 15 years of age he had his own Stockholm-based radio show. Delano discovered electronic music on a trip to Spain in the early '80s at a time when acid house ruled the airwaves. Upon his return to Stockholm, he wasted no time in hooking up with the city's premier producer, Cari Lekebusch, with whom he co-produced "Life On The Other Side," released on the Stockholm-based Loop imprint. His debut release was well-received by the underground dance fraternity, spurring him on to produce further recordings for labels such as Missile, Hybrid, Primevil and more recently, Strive, Jericho, and Immigrant.
In the mid '90s, Delano, relocated to NYC for fresh musical inspiration and a change of scenery. he spent his time both developing a new moniker, ADNY (= Alexi Delano New York), and a new label, Corner Shots, which has gone on to become one of the most respected deep house labels on the circuit. He released successful full-length projects for Earthtones (in collaboration with Jesper Dahlbäck), Plastic City (with Casey Hogan) and the Montreal-based Turbo Recordings imprint (Selections '97-2000). In 2006, he released his newest album called "Alexi Delano presents A.D. 1010 - Stories of an Alien Brother" on Harthouse.
