the whole biography
FULL BIOGRAPHY Alexander Arpeggio channels the original energy of the 80s and 90s cosmic dance scene, reviving the sounds once heard on Goa beaches and in legendary Italian clubs. His musical range stretches from 70s organic disco to 90s underground house, weaving in Italo disco, 80s wave, and NDW with a raw, emotional edge. As one of the defining figures in today’s club culture rooted in 80s and 90s dance music, Alexander Arpeggio is a DJ, producer, label operator, and passionate archaeologist of obscure dancefloor stories. Emerging from the provincial surroundings of Ingolstadt, he has worked his way into international booths from Berghain/Panorama Bar to underground venues in Paris and London. A distinctive blend of 80s/90s house, Italo disco, outsider pop, lo-fi, and acid techno that honors the spirit of dance music’s past while pushing it forward. Early Imprint in Upper Bavaria In 2001, the then 18-year-old Alexander hears a legendary mixtape in Ingolstadt. A moment he later describes as a musical revelation. The raw power of drum computers, rough synthesizers, and brittle vocals open his eyes to a music where errors, distortions, and edges are not flaws but an aesthetic program. Through online fan pages and forums, he begins to unravel the origins of this sound from the 80s and 90s dance era. From Fan to Scene Curator During the 2000s, Alexander starts DJing in Upper Bavaria with a sound that was then considered too “pop” or “trashy” even in Berlin’s club Mecca. He uses the rejection as fuel, digs deeper, follows trails like Dutch radio stations and European record dealers to find lost maxis and B-sides that shift between euphoric anthems and dark underground electronics. Since 2006 he lives and shaped the Berlin Dance scene and is part of a tightly networked North European community for whom 80s and 90s dance music is an open narrative that effortlessly crosses house, disco, wave, and proto techno. Mond Musik, Eine Welt, and the Art of Lo-Fi With his labels Mond Musik and Eine Welt, Alexander professionalizes his role as curator: he releases reissues, forgotten tapes, and new productions that share a common DNA. A love for the Lo-Fi character and the “flaw” in the sound. Instead of polishing the vintage dance sound, he works with old hardware to bring the brittle, sometimes fragile texture into the present. It’s less about nostalgia than a stance: imperfection as emotional truth, somewhere between melancholy and euphoric lift-off. Club Cosmic and Obscure Side Lines In Berlin, Alexander shapes nightlife primarily as host and DJ of his series “Club Cosmic” and “Listen Listen,” often in the Neukölln Sameheads environment. There he uses the dancefloor as a lab: 80s and 90s dance and Disco meet early house sketches, New Wave, Synth-Pop curiosities, industrial fragments, and techno, occasionally played at 33 rpm. The sets are more dramaturgy than mere track selection built on tensions between kitsch and hardness. International DJ and Band Projects Alexander Arpeggio has long been a sought-after guest in clubs from Berghain, Bar 25, Kater, Wilde Renate, and about:blank in Berlin to Opium in Vilnius or Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. Tours take him across Europe from France via Scandinavia and Eastern Europe to Italy, where he mirrors the era’s dance history back to the audience. Parallel to this, he engages in band and studio projects like OTTO and Aufgang B, where his obsession with analog sound sources and cosmic narratives translates into collective forms. Stance: Dance Music as Cultural Memory For Alexander, 80s and 90s dance music is no closed canon, but a fragile cultural memory that must be resorted again and again. Between chart hits and total underground, between ironic elevation and serious romance. By illuminating obscure side lines and short-circuiting them with contemporary club music, he makes audible how pop history renews itself from within and why long-overlooked genres have become the secret engine of today’s house and techno designs.Their RA profile lists Neubau.Recently at Loft 6, Sameheads, Berghain · often with JACK DANZEY, Richii, Holten, none of them here that night

the whole biography
His sound tends to oscillate between psychedelic trips, experimental disco and voodoo percussion, exploring the slowed-down heartbeat of danceable music. He had a rendez-vous with Mexico City’s lunatic music scene while living there for some years, co-running the label “Nuevos Ricos” and starting to DJ in shady neighbourhood street parties and art happenings inside jammed subway stations. Listening to André Pahl’s sets is like being compelled to push yourself inside a forest even though you know it'll be dangerous — head first, then the whole body, submerged deep into a strange jungle world, partly solid, partly made of shimmering liquids.Recently at O Tannenbaum, Sameheads, 90mil · often with Saeko Killy, Kruton, Bad Boy Baader, none of them here that night
