Alex Tronic - (Paul Croan) has previously released and licenced music to many labels notably Koyote/Peyote Records and Cherry Red Records. He has also scored music for film and TV. Known for his laid back groove music, Paul is working on a new album to be announced soon.

Alex Tronic Records also have their own Recording Studio in central Edinburgh and this is beneficial for the label to discover newly emerging talent as well as developing their current artists further.

The label's first compilation album brought these talents together and has proved to be a successful venture. The Skinny magazine described the album as "a brilliant exhibition of talent... On the whole the album is extremely varied. The only thing which doesn’t change is the production quality and raw talent, which is consistent throughout."[2]

2005-2008 has been a successful period so far for the label, further enhancing its stature amongst the UK indie labels. Alex Tronic artists such as Keser and ÅsA have completed European tours in Scandinavia including a memorable appearance with Stafraenn Hakon in the 12 Tónar record shop in Copenhagen. Roys Iron DNA have also had successful tours with the Lo-Fidelity Allstars and The Go! Team during 2008.

In 2007 Alex Tronic Records signed distribution deals with Cargo Records in the U.K. and Arabesque which covers European territories.
