ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
From Gothenburg, Sweden, Joel Alter has his roots in the city's vibrant
music scene of the late 80's and early 90's. His first international
appearance was on DJ Hell's Gigolo Records in 2005 under the name
Jor-el, followed by a release on M-nus. But it's rather the releases on
French label Bass Culture and Berlin's Sweatshop that have given him
the attention he enjoys today. Joel Alter's style is diverse but is
described best as a subtle mix of techno and house.
In 2011 Joel and follow Swede and friend Henrik Jonsson formed the duo
Jonsson & Alter. Their first album 'Mod' was considered by many to
be one of last year's best house albums.
