  their own biography

  the whole biography

  From Los Angeles to El Salvador to Miami, now based in NYC. Alex Pastor brought his eclectic tastes & committed digging skills to global electronic music routes without losing the passion of the underground. His mix of house, techno, trance, electro, new beat, and breaks taps the sounds of that same circuit from revolutionary Third World music to old school California hip hop and his beginnings in classic trance. All the while oriented to the dance floor and custom to the moment. Alex cut his teeth throughout the dynamic Central American scene while living in El Salvador and traveled to homegrown yet internationally respected festivals in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras. Representation with BlackTone Agency ensured Alex made an impression on audiences in other U.S. cities and Europe, a clear inspiration for his musical formation. In Miami, Alex Pastor was immediately presented a residency for Un_Mute’s highly lauded party series where his selections showcase his digging work ethic along with a special sense for what makes people dance. “I always want to make those weird selections, out of left field. My philosophy for deejaying has always been 50% makes you dance, but 50% should be something that catches you off guard–something trippy.”  Alex Pastor’s craft continues to evolve with each new stop on his journey and there’s no telling what scene will be lucky to be next. Over the years, Alex has shared the stage with storied talent such as Ian Pooley, John Tejada, Dana Ruh, Tom Ellis, and Adam Collins (Omni A.M.) along with new school luminaries like Francesco del Garda, Masda, Binh, Laurine & Cecilio, Nicolas Lutz, Raphael Carrau, Quest, Brasi, Giammarco Orsini, Z@P, Cristian Sarde, Cosmic JD, Sibil, Truly Madly, Hamish & Toby, Harry McCanna, John Dimas, Oshana, Youandewan, Black Loops, Nicola Cruz... Such experiences are leading to a constant evolution in his musical depth and have bolstered his ability to comfortably combine trippy with techy, dreamy with drummy, heady with house.

  the whole biography

  Moaad BKR approaches DJing as both a craft and a form of dialogue. Moving fluidly across electronic genres and eras, his sets bring together vivid textures, raw energy, and subtle psychedelic undertones, often carried by the warmth of analog sound. Rooted in vinyl and dubplate culture, his selections are intentional and narrative-driven. Each record plays a role within a larger continuum, unfolding gradually into immersive, layered soundscapes that reward careful listening. His approach bridges the timeless with the obscure, drawing unexpected connections across scenes and decades. Moaad BKR has brought this distinctive sensibility to dancefloors and gatherings internationally. His work resists fixed definition, favoring presence, atmosphere, and the authentic experience of sound in motion.

  “Exposed to music from day one, the guitar was first for Luka and it came from somewhere harder.”

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Exposed to music from day one, the guitar was first for Luka and it came from somewhere harder. Growing up in Belgrade under sanctions and bombs, music became his fantasy world for escaping reality. Spending weekend nights in his mid-twenties in Berlin’s scene while studying classical music and preparing concerts in Zurich, he discovered something in endless nights at Panorama Bar and rising collectives that a concert hall couldn’t offer: belonging, a space where community and music became one, where joy rose into a form of resistance and healing. „I‘m not a DJ, you mixed me up“, Luka turned down his first booking request. 2 months after that first show for Herrensauna in Zurich, Paragon NYC happened and he fell in love, even though it took him a while to call himself a DJ. Luka digs what moves and plays tight, blending overlooked records with modern productions until the decades between them disappear, moving from floating to physical, hypnotic to hard, shaped by years spent collaborating across dance, visual art and live electronics before touching a CDJ. The concert hall still shows up in how he plays: long phrasing, returning motifs, a build that teases before it breaks. tanzen6000 grew directly out of that experience and a need for unity: Zurich’s scene felt split into bubbles that rarely met, so he pitched an idea for a tiny venue: 4 DJs, completely different sounds. It sold out. The second edition doubled capacity. Today tanzen6000 is one of Zurich’s vital queer-led collectives with home-base at Kauz, where POC, trans, queer and FLINTA artists shine and amplify unity between communities. Selected past venues: Macadam (Nantes), Motel Campo (Geneva), Montreux Jazz Festival, Nachbar (Amsterdam), Bizarre Festival (Paris), Dalston Superstore (London), Garcon Sauvage (Lyon), sic (CDMX), Paragon (NYC), Podlasie (Chicago), Le Bain (NYC), Schwing & Stampf Festival, six dogs (Athens), Kauz (Zurich), Exil (Zurich), Circle Park (Brussels), Dolu (Sofia), Brutal MX (CDMX), Vago (Lisbon), Flower Factory (Washington D.C) Selected podcasts: Smut, Kiosk Radio, Rinse, IsBurning, Vitamine, Homodrop
