Before Alex Pervukhin launched his vinyl label and released numerous tracks on large recordings worldwide, he was a local DJ-hero first. Deejaying was his passion that started everything and sparked the flame that is burning since. Alex was booked regularly to play at big local parties that later became a well known, established international brands (e.g. СХЕМА and Hypnohouse).

Tech House, US Garage, Breakbeat, UKG, Contemporary Minimal Detroit Techno, Techno – Alex knows how to put the right tune at the right time.

Following years of perfecting skills, Pervukhin put all his attainment into vinyl only label Laconica.

Two tracks of his from the label catalog were included in Trommel Top 100 list of best records from 2018.
«Alex Pervukhin has enjoyed a productive 2019. This rock solid four-tracker on Colours Of Crocus marks the Ukrainian producer's fourth single of the year, following similarly impressive outings on Recordeep, Hubble Recordings and his own Laconica imprint. It's an attractive and warming affair, with Pervukhin effortlessly fusing elements of late '90s UK tech-house and the dreamy, spacey end of the deep house spectrum.» - Juno Records
