Alex Lubeck, the mastermind behind Aatocaster, is a Los Angeles-based producer and artist. His musical journey started when he picked up the drums at the young age of 7. He played in a variety of bands throughout his school years, ranging from punk to indie and hip-hop groups. However, the impermanence of living in a city led Alex to teach himself Ableton. This was a way for him to continue making music even when bandmates began moving to different cities for new jobs. Since then, Alex has relocated to LA and continued his work with a variety of genres through production work and composing and writing music for commercials, independent films, and theater. In addition to his music career, Alex runs his own independent house show venue, Edge Venue LA, where he can be found working the soundboard. Aatocaster is Alex’s newest project, and it was born out of a desire to inspire existential relief by embracing chaos, imperfection, and honest emotions. The unique Aatocaster sound draws inspiration from a variety of musical niches, resulting in a style that is truly one of a kind. Aatocaster’s first single, “take,” was released on 11/11/22 and was met with great reception from indie blogs and playlists. Critics were impressed by Alex’s debut single, with This Song Is Sick writing, “it’s not too often we are so impressed by an artist’s debut single…we will most certainly be keeping an eye out for what’s next.” Tome To The Weather Machine wrote, “we can hear the sincerity…a lovely piece,” while Exron Music praised Alex’s “immense capabilities to mesmerize the electronic music scene with hypnotic productions.” Aatocaster’s second single, “moonlight,” is a story about the artist allowing a part of himself that is no longer serving him to die so that the rest of him may thrive. The track’s key lyric, “putting me down in the summertime…so be what you dream when you’re alone. I gotta be, can’t sit around anymore,” conveys the purpose of the song. “Moonlight” is sincere and reflective in its delivery and production, yet still danceable and celebratory. After two powerful statements of purpose from Aatocaster, the question begs to be asked: What will come next from this talented artist? With his ability to mesmerize the electronic music scene with his hypnotic productions, there is no doubt that Aatocaster is set to carve out his own lane in the dance music space.
