Alex MORPH
Alex MORPH (bourgeois Alexander Mieling ) is a German DJ and music producer in the trance and techno sectors.
pseudonym
The artist name Alex MORPH has its origins in the song title Spicelab - Amorph , whose name Mieling changed in order to be able to use it for himself. Amorphous, whereby the A was used for Alexander (short: Alex), and the word morph , indicative of Mieling's regular image changes at this time (including hair and beard color). The dots after the letters have only been added for visual reasons.
He previously worked with the Stoneface & Terminal production team on projects such as MORPH , Arc in the Sky , Ohm Boys and Scirocco . However, these projects have now been discontinued, and both in-house productions and remixes are now only published under the name Alex MORPH .
