the whole biography
Born and raised in New York City, Alex is the product of a true cultural melting pot — a multicultural upbringing that has shaped a deeply versatile and globally influenced musical identity. This foundation has made him an expert across a wide spectrum of sounds, with the instinct and technical ability to move any crowd, anywhere — pushing the boundaries of what defines a genre, and going far beyond the familiar. This is most evident in his sonic imprint, where nothing is off limits, leading to a kaleidoscope of sounds and an eclectic journey one can't forget. With over a decade of experience as both a DJ and music producer, he has released music on legendary labels such as Nervous Records and Trax Records, while also building his own successful imprint, Supermarkt Musik. His performances have taken him to renowned venues and dance floors across the world, earning a reputation for musical depth, adaptability, and energy. Beyond performing, Alex has played an influential role behind the scenes of nightlife culture — working as a booker and talent buyer at the legendary Output, as well as the now-defunct Avant Gardner. He currently serves as booker and talent buyer at Mad Radio, where he continues to shape cutting-edge programming and artist curation.Their RA profile lists Trax Records and Nervous Records.Recently at Jupiter Disco, Elsewhere, The Sultan Room · often with Ay Papi, ROLO, Sid Vaga, none of them here that night

the whole biography
AG is a Queens born DJ and creative whose sound is shaped by the energy of New York and the rhythm of Medellín. Raised around music through his father, a Brooklyn DJ, his connection to sound started early and continues to evolve through both heritage and experience. His sets are driven by groove and emotion, blending deep and soulful house with touches of R&B, disco, and Latin rhythm. Influenced by the timeless artistry of Sade, Stevie Wonder, and George Michael, his approach leans into feeling, musicality, and intention. More than just track selection, AG focuses on building a feeling in the room; warm, intimate, and immersive. Each set unfolds as a journey, balancing subtlety with moments of release. With a strong connection to community and culture, AG approaches DJing as both a musical and human experience, creating spaces where people can connect, move, and find their own frequency.Recently at Jupiter Disco, Elsewhere, Mood Ring · often with Tone Troy, Omar Ludwig, LeCamille, none of them here that night

His eclectic style of groovy underground minimal & house records creates a captivating and hypnotic vibe. Taking inspiration from the likes of the Romanian,UK, and NYC underground scenes, he has cultivated his own sound of underground house music. Spaced out, jazzy, minimal grooves is his style of choice, and he’s invested in expanding his knowledge base by continually creating and collecting music. A computer nerd at heart, Rupert's love for synthesizers and especially eurorack have helped shape the sound he pushes today. In November of 2022 Rupert launched his own record label, Selekt Sounds, which focuses on the hypnotic, psychedelic, and jazzy sides of minimal. The label has featured artists such as Hendriks Toth, Ali Demir, Modebaku, Dragomir, Herck, Chuwee, TIJN, Nektar Agu and many more.Minimal on 2, Breakbeat on 1, House on 1 and Microhouse on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Artist Intelligence Agency (1), InTheBagg (1) and Kiku Records (1); their RA profile also lists Andhera Records, DISTRAKT AUDIO, RVDIOVCTIVE and selekt sounds. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Earthly Delights, The Meadow, 96 Morgan Ave · often with Adam Braiman, Chris Sanabria, Jeny Michelle, none of them here that night
