Alien Pimp

on 12:10 AM

Alien Pimp is a project of Silviu Costinescu, some hybrid entity mutated from the creative genes of an electronic music producer, a media whore, a visual artist, a crazy preacher, a DJ, Don Quijote AND Sancho Panza.

At 7 he was living in the slums of Bucharest, playing football during the day and reading Jules Verne during the night.

At 14 he was still living in the slums, but having his own show of alternative music on one of the first private radio stations in Bucharest, Radio Nova 22.







At 20 years he started wining recognition as an electronic music producer, being awarded First Prize @ Assos Music New Talent Festival. Still living in the slums, he was making music on friends' computers as he couldn't yet afford his own.

At 27 he was already one of the main figures in Romanian electronic music scene, had a few TV shows, as a news reporter he shook hands with all presidents of Romania after Ceausescu's death, had his face shown on CNN on for some music related business and was long after 100 sets a DJ.







Ah, he also published in Romanian Playboy and did a crazy Tarantinesque photo shoot for FHM as a model, moved to his own house out of the slums, working on a computer he assembled himself.

Now, close to 33, he has tens of releases out, he played around Europe, he runs a few record labels and a couple of websites, he quit promoting parties after being involved in over 50 events, produces track after track, he is about to put out his first album and he tries making a living out of his ideas and creations in Madrid, Spain.
