their own biography
the whole biography
Alex Wilcox is an American music producer and DJ based in Berlin. He composes eclectic club music and DJ’s only his own productions in a genre-less chaotic whirlwind involving hard cuts, numerous BPM changes and existential theatrical moments. Born in Texas, Alex Wilcox was originally infatuated with 90's rock music and spent countless days copying John Frusciante's guitar playing. In his teenage years he played in a hard rock/funk band throughout venues in Dallas. When he was 15 he played at the Texas State Fair - filled with purpose, he left knowing that he would pursue music for the rest of his life. During college in Austin, he visited Berlin, where his nascent interest in techno took a leap forward - he was particularly interested in its relationship to funk music and it’s functional honesty. “I loved how the tracks were made for this group of people in a club - you want to dance? Here’s some bangers - the concept is straightforward and I love that.” Later, in Austin, he began learning more about electronic music production - originally wanting to make instrumentals to surround his guitar playing. He realized that Austin's electronic scene was too small and not what he was looking for - impressed with the music industry of LA, he moved there. Once there, he continued honing his production skills - at this point constantly listening to Modeselektor, Paul Kalkbrenner, and Kanye West. In LA, he worked in the major Hollywood Studio - Chalice Recordings - where he was able to see the inner workings of pop/rap music production in the modern era. He also began assisting Platinum-selling pop-producer Pinkslip - primarily editing and tuning vocals. After spending several weeks in Berlin, Alex realized that while he enjoyed certain elements of pop-music and the LA underground scene, he longed for the sense of community, value system, and perspective on music that he saw in clubs and Berlin. He first moved to Detroit where he began DJ'ing on a more regular basis. He spent time working in UR Headquarters Submerge - getting advice from Mike Banks on production, and continued to constantly create music. He self-released an multi-genre album “Because the Sky is Blue.” Anetha ended up buying one of the tracks “Sleep Paralysis” from said album. This put them in contact, eventually leading to Anetha asking Alex for tracks for her label Mama Told Ya. The EP - titled "It's Okay to Cry," featured eccentric, "oddball" techno that plays with unconventional ideas in the club world. Shortly after its release, interest in Alex’s productions grew - he soon caught the attention of Nina Kraviz. This led to his recent 6-track EP on Nina’s label Trip Recordings. Surgical, smart, whacky, and with a sense-of-humor, the EP has pushed Alex further into the techno consciousness - being played by countless headlining DJ’s at nearly every major venue. One of those DJ’s, Ellen Allien, invited Alex to make his Berlin debut at her infamous party “We Are Not Alone.” Alex has also played Pal (Hamburg), Nexus (Paris), La Belle Électrique (Grenoble), The Porn Shop (Detroit), and many other spots. Expect several projects to surface in 2023 as Alex releases more ambitious musical projects and expands his universe of unique, progressive, bombastic, catchy, and surreal club music.Their RA profile lists BPitch, Boysnoize Records, Monkeytown Records, Trip and 2 more.often with BBBBBBB, Catnapp, HYPNOSIS THERAPY, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Katie Rex is one of NY’s most essential and impactful DJs. The Bound founder and Basement resident has spent the last decade and changed pushing a singular vision of wild, uncompromising rave power. Fusing throbbing techno, ripping hardgroove, key selections from NY’s vibrant underground and nods to her foundational loves - goth & industrial - Rex has developed a well-earned reputation for turning the dancefloor on its head. Her sets move with the perfect balance of precision and controlled chaos, transmuting a gleefully grungy menace into liberatory catharsis. Rex’s career began in Philadelphia where, in true DIY spirit, she began organizing parties around a key, glaring gap. Factory Girls was Rex’s first party series, an all-femme party that highlighted some of the 2010’s most vital new artists and helped point the way forward out of an oppressively male-focused monoculture. Word spread quickly, and early alliances with NY’s Discwoman drew Rex up to NY more and more. A few short years later she found herself at the center of a cultural renaissance. Regular sets at the revered, secretive Unter party, close ties with Bossa Nova Civic Club, and in 2016, the first edition of Bound all came quickly, and Rex’s position in the culture was soon indisputable. Bound has become Rex’s calling card: a NY-based, nationally produced kink party that seeks to redefine the form. Landing at the revered institution Basement, as one of the inaugural residencies at the club in 2019. As with Factory Girls, Bound pushes back against the ensconced patriarchal power dynamics that have made many femme and queer people feel unwelcome. It instead creates a space that is directly, unapologetically for those groups, with outstanding artists to boot. Rex’s DJing at these parties inevitably sets the standard; her capacity to both wield music of brutal power and craft an immersive, captivating, even joyful journey embodies the entire ethos of the night. Through this passion for amplifying artists, Rex created a boutique label featuring releases from Dax J, Silent Servant, Terence Fixmer, Bored Lord, Kilbourne, Ireen Amnes, Kontravoid, and more. After a 6 year Lot Radio residency, featuring a host of guests including VTSS, Rebekah, Sedef Adasï, Akua, Silent Servant, and Hyperaktivist, Bound release a new mix series In 2025. Rex has become an international presence, with regular gigs across the States and overseas. Her sets have been sought after beyond the club by Boiler Room and luxury houses Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Burberry, and Parfums de Marley. Press features in Vogue, The Face, Paper Magazine, Document Journal, Vice, The New Yorker, and Nylon Magazine have lauded her as the face of a new wave in nightlife culture. As her vision has come to shape US nightlife, the power of her music has only become more honed and riveting. What’s come before is only the beginning.Their RA profile lists Bound and Magic City.Recently at Paragon, BASEMENT, Superior Ingredients · often with Concrete Husband, Kim Anh, Annie Lew, none of them here that night

LISAS is a DJ emerging from the New York techno scene whose expertise spans a multitude of roles. From working behind the scenes as a sound engineer in recording studios on critically acclaimed albums, performing in the band The Rapture, to producing music for fashion shows; all while repairing vintage analog synthesizers and outboard gear- her journey is diverse and captivating. Her transition to DJing was an evolution grounded in her extensive knowledge of sound, which illuminates her live sets and mixes with sharp selections that provide a driving and genre-defying ride always innately tailored to the energy of the audience. Her unique style she refers to as “post-apocalyptic arpeggiators meet mermaid synthesis” has earned her a coveted spot as resident of Le Bain in New York City.
