TRUE HOUSE STORIES® W/ ALEX SAVVIDES # 148 INTERVIEWED BY LENNY FONTANA

Mr Alex Savvides started his DJ career at the tender age of 16 years old back in 1988. He was helping one of the promoters of legendary Acid House club Zigis, in Streatham, South London, and was blessed to have witnessed a very young Trevor Fung and Carl Cox spinning almost every weekend, and because of that experience he was instantly hooked! Within months Alex became the warm up DJ for them both and in oncurrence he was promoting his own midweek events called 'Casablanca' and '303 Below Zero'. Alex then went on to become the resident DJ at 'The Stoned Crow' in Streatham on Thursday and Sunday nights from around 1989-1993. Not too soon after Alex decided to hang his headphone up for a brief moment. After taking many years out from the music, he decided to come back in 2015 with a strong party called 'We Are Balearic'. This club night now is in its tenth successful year. This year 2025 Alex will be focusing on playing out as a guest DJ, and looking to release his own music productions and edits that will be available to purchase on Bandcamp and Traxsource soon.

There's a whole world of rhythm and soul behind the tracks that fill dancefloors, and True House Stories opens the door to it. Hosted by the respected DJ and producer Lenny Fontana, this isn't just a series of conversations; it's an oral history project for a genre built on feeling. Each episode sits down with a different architect of the sound-DJs, producers, vocalists, and label founders-to pull back the curtain on the moments that shaped everything. You'll hear the unvarnished, sometimes messy, reality of how classic records came to be, the late-night studio sessions that turned into anthems, and the personal journeys intertwined with the music's evolution. Fontana, speaking from a lifetime inside the scene, guides these discussions with a genuine curiosity, ensuring the stories remain candid and often surprising. Tuning into this podcast feels like finding a lost archive of club culture, where every interview adds another essential layer to our understanding of house music's enduring pulse. It’s for anyone who has ever felt a four-on-the-floor beat and wondered about the people and passion that put it there.
