their own biography
the whole biography
Lex, known as A.K.R was raised in the festival circuit. they were given opportunities to perform at a young age. While rooted in trance, progressive house, and bass music, AKR’s evolution has sharpened toward a more driving, percussive direction. Influenced by the rhythmic focus of artists like Alarico, Lake Hills, Benza, and Danny Wabbit. Rhythm sits at the core of their approach. Multi-genre by foundation but disciplined in execution, AKR moves fluidly between hardgroove, rolling techno, breakbeat textures, and the occasional trance-leaning lift, without losing cohesion. Even when drawing from minimal or progressive roots, the emphasis remains on groove density and physicality. With over a decade behind the decks, AKR has brought this sound to dance floors across New York, including sets for ägapē and appearances at Public Hotel, Eris Evolution, and Hell Phone, along with a festival appearance at Elements. These rooms have shaped a performance style built on tension control, sequencing discipline, and sustained forward momentum. Currently refining a production direction aligned with their club sound, AKR continues to shape a rhythmic identity that bridges past influences with a sharper, groove-focused present.Recently at Telephone · often with PETERBLUE, Vladimir Dubyshkin, Junkfile, none of them here that night
