Musical career
Alexander's stage name is derived from a slang expression for when someone holds a skateboard incorrectly, i.e. a "mall grab".[1] From an early age, he was fascinated by his parents' records, which featured mostly rock and roll. Over time, he became fascinated by electronic music, which eventually defined his musical work. He has a regular show on Rinse FM radio, where he invites guests from the industry and creates mixes.[2]
In 2020, Alexander released the EP Share a View with the hardcore punk band Turnstile, where he remixed three of the group's songs.[3]
