Alan T South Beach boasts a nightlife scene like no other in the world, featuring a cast of locals dressed in drama and accessorized with attitude for days (which often comes in handy while they’re waiting for success). Alan T.* has always carried more than his share of attitude, and it has seemed that his dialogue flowed freely before the other characters had been cast. His spotlight followed him always, allowing him to perform whether he happened to be on the street, in a club, in his apartment, or even on someone’s answering machine. When producer Mike “DaMooch” Mucci heard the ranting and raving craziness left as a message and created the single “Come & Get It,” (SFP Records) which became an instant sensation at Liquid and other clubs. Suddenly Alan’s spotlight became a reality. Seeing that he had possibly found another Cevin Fisher (King of Spoken Word), Circuit Boy took his new discovery to the studio. Armed with his attitude and kinetic rapid-fire dialogue, Alan filled the studio with the words, and “The Door”was created. In ’98 the South Beach club scene seemed to sizzle, nurturing DJs who would eventually become stars. These DJs grabbed “The Door” and threw it out nightly for the enjoyment of the crowds that packed clubs like Liquid and Salvation. Audiences screamed when Alan said “There’s no Tina on our list,” making the phrase as hot as the song. Alan made the club scene his stage and performed in every venue in Miami, whether they had scheduled him or not, then hit the New York scene, performing in clubs like Twilo and Vinyl. Europe was his next stop, where he slung his attitude and dialogue at clubs including the renowned club Muccasassina in Rome. “I performed in any dark dungeon where cutting edge music was played, “said Alan. As always, he created a show whether anyone was really looking or not, but more often than not the audience was riveted. DJ JoJo Odyssey was the first to play one of Alan’s singles, at Mykel Stevens’ Back Door Bamby, then at Groove Jet. That first release became a hit and suddenly phone calls and e-mails from all over the world were voicing their praise. When “The Door” was released, renowned DJ Danny Tenaglia e-mailed Alan with the message, “the record should be everywhere” and continued to give his support to Alan. Now “The Door” is considered a DJ staple and a classic. Now audiences await the highly anticipated late August release of the Danny Tenaglia edit of “The Door” is considered a DJ staple and a classic. Now audiences await the highly anticipated late August release of the Danny Tenaglia remix of “The Door,” available on S.F.P. Records. Producers and DJs agree that the newly christened Alan T.* has earned the label “fierce,” and he continues to throw attitude even while performing. Don’t stand in his spotlight, for the world is his stage. Tossing aside his career as an architect, Alan says “the universe has allowed my true love to become a career.” Written by Cubby
