Alex Hobson: Songs and Collaborations

The moment

Good on You featuring Talia Mar. That's the track that put Alex Hobson on the map. Summery melody, groovy bassline, and a vocal hook that actually sticks. It's the clearest example of what makes him different: he makes house music that also just sounds like a good song. RCA Records put it out, and the comparisons to MK and Curtis Gabriel started making sense once people heard it.

Who he is

Alex Hobson is a producer and DJ out of Manchester. His whole thing is taking house and tech house grooves and layering them with proper pop sensibility. Not novelty pop, not dumbed-down EDM. Just the craft of knowing how to write a hook that works on radio and on a dancefloor at the same time. It's a specific skill and not many people have it.

The vocal collaborators

He's picked his features with real intention. Pairing with Talia Mar on Good on You and Katy Tiz on Hands gave both tracks a pop lift that pure instrumental house often misses. That's a big part of why those two are his best-known songs. It's not about who's famous. It's about who fits the production.

Where his music lives

He's released through RCA Records (Sony Music), which is a major-label deal, but also through independent labels like Lovejuice Records, The Latest Sounds, Sine Nomine and Gameroom Records. Everything's available on the usual streaming and DJ platforms: Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp and Beatport. So take your pick.
