Alejandro López was born in Gijón (Spain). His path in the electronic music world started in the 90's when he bought his first instruments insipired by the Detroit Techno and Chicago House movements. This was the point of no return for Alejando and made him even more passionate about electronic music, opening himself to new genres and carrying on with his musical hobbie (until then) while he worked as a sound technician.
In 2006 he releases his first EP on Minimise, the label of Ireland's Donnacha Costello. This release was followed by "Polígono de Frecuencias" on Pariter which got a very good critic by the specialized press and received support from well known dj's such as Joris Voorn, Magda, Slam, Ángel Molina, Mark Broom, Onur Ozer, Kiki, Butane, Alejandro Vivanco, Arnaud Le Texier, Xpansul, to name only a few.
His success has taken him to tour perform in many of Europe´s most famous clubs such as Watergate (Berlin), Harry Klein (Munich), Arena (Berlin), 103Club (Berlin), Cicterna Hall (Moscow), Kindergarten (Bologna), Retox (London), The Egg (London), The Red (London). Of course, in his country, Spain, he has also been in the most prestigious venues such as The Loft (Barcelona), Moog (Barcelona), Deep (Madrid), BeCool (Barcelona), Fellini (Barcelona), as well as festivals such as L.E.V., Electrosplash, FAMA, Djscontralafam, Phonotica,...
Together with his friend Jairo Catelo he forms extra[R]radio which has it's debut on the London based label Multi Vitamins. In 2008 Slam (Scotland) invites him to be part of his label Soma Recordings, one of the most veteran labels of the European scene, on which he releases "Grande Coracion" EP under his new pseudonym Jandroide, more oriented to more funky and organic tech-house. In 2009 his first album for Soma will be released, which represents his big debut on the Glasgow based label. Also he is working on what will be his debut album as Alejandro Lopez, oriented towards a more synthetic, dark and hypnotic techno sound.
In his live performances he brings together, in a dynamic way, the warmth of the classic techno sound with the syncopated and fractured rhythms of the new techno and house sound, combining emotional profoundness with powerful soundscapes, trying to give form to his eclectic personal vision of dance music.
