Ocean – The Remixes available now
Summer 2014 was pretty hot, and although it’s almost over, Alek Sandar seeks to continue the party by releasing a remix bundle for his song „Ocean“. Fans and followers will dive into new styles and rediscover Alek’s emblematic tune „My love is deep like the ocean“ in a heavy bass-driven EDM Remix, a dub step remix produced with Bulgarian hip-hop star Angel Kovachev (from the smash-hit duo „Angel & Moisey“), an EDM instrumental version for the night clubs and a summer dance radio version of the song.
Weeks ago, Alek also presented a Bulgarian version of the song called Dai mi da the vliubia. It is astonishing that the young artist produced both the audio and video for Ocean.

Alek premiered the EDM Version during the gala finale of the chinese reality TV show CA Model Competition at Terminal 5 in New York a couple of days ago. Earlier this summer, German fans went crazy during Alek’s performance at the SommerLochFestival in Brunswick, Germany. Clubs in Washington DC, Chicago and Sofia, Bulgaria, further hosted the young musician this summer.
In addition to his work as recording artist, Alek continues to work as a music producer for international artists. This season, Bulgarian artists Galin, Kamelia, Krum and Desislava released or are about to release singles produced by the Bulgarian-born New Yorker.

Andrea and Alek Sandar Speak Out: “The Human Rights Situations in Ukraine and Russia are Unacceptable”
The Eastern Europeans raise awareness of human rights violations, support LGBT community

On thursday, the World Day of Social Justice, Two well-known Eastern European pop artists, Andrea and Alek Sandar, have released a new music video called “Peaceful Place” in response to recent human rights violations in Ukraine and Russia. Using information provided by the Human Rights Watch and Human Rights House and footage provided by Reuters, the music video calls for delivery human rights for Ukraine and LGBT equality and non-discrimination for Russia. “We want to show love to our Eastern European brothers and sisters during this political uproar”, say the artists. „Ukraine and Russia are moving back to a more totalitarian state and we want to make a statement that this is wrong“.

To raise the awareness of the issues, the video illustrates topics, such as discrimination, freedom of expression, and education on the acceptance of the LGBT community with children and teenagers in an abandoned Roma slum neighborhood in Sofia, Bulgaria. The video clip shows Andrea and Alek Sandar holding a rainbow flag surrounded by Roma children. “If we did this in Russia, we would be in jail now”, says Alek in an interview with national Bulgarian media. Andrea and Alek Sandar are from Bulgaria, which has historical and cultural closely allied with former Soviet Bloc. Recently, an anti-gay-propaganda-law was proposed in Bulgaria by one of their leading parties. With „Peaceful Place“, Alek and Andrea aim to open up the international communication on the issue and contribute to a more tolerance towards the LGBT community in Bulgaria.

The “Peaceful Place” song begins and ends with calls for action: “It’s time for a change” and “It is our divine duty to make this earth a peaceful place”. The release of the video “Peaceful Place” marks the beginning of a nationwide campaign through events and media appearances in support of human rights in Bulgaria.

Everybody can engage in the conversation via hastag #peacefulplace. The song is available for free download at https://soundcloud.com/aleksandarofficial/andrea-alek-sandar-peaceful
