DJ Alexandar - Happy People Caffe - May 2008

Biography of DJ Alexandar

He was born and raised in the capital city of Serbia, Belgrade. He spent his childhood surrounded by people whose lives where dedicated to music, which was gradually introduced into his life as well. Having finished his primary and secondary music school ( the guitar being his “first love” ), he acquired the basic theoretical knowledge, experience and an acoustic ear. While growing up, he listened to classical music as well as bands such as Depeche Mode, Simply Red, Brian Eno, Leftfield, Mono and many other bands in which you could suspect the beginning of electronic music. This same combination of electronic music and the guitar is responsible for the work he does today.

After many years of listening and absorbing the world Dance scene, Sasha, Deep Dish, John Digweed and Hernan Cattaneo have left the deepest impression on him. In 2003, for the first time he expressed his wish and tried himself out as a DJ.

A few years later he becomes a member of Kinetic Vibe. Today, 2 years later, he performs alone on the music scene, under the name ‘’Alexandar’’. In his career he had worked with names such as Silicone Soul, Federico Epis, Snake Sedrick, James Benitez, Ladytron ... He worked in most of the clubs in Belgrade ( EXPO XXI, SKC, Barutana, Plastic….), Serbia, Monte Negro and Croatia. His mixes were the guest mixes in shows on Frisky Radio, Proton Radio and Pure FM. In his sets, Alexandar invests most of his energy, ideas and in his constant contact with the audience, he creates dynamic sets which tend to move them.

By the end of 2007 he took a part of the national DJ competition and won the third place in “TECHNOLOGY – The best DJ annual awards”

Currently he works in production and has his own show on Tribal Mixes Radio, where he has hosted many local and international DJs, such as Fedrico Epis, Jason Jollins, Nick Varon, Rodrigo Espinoza, Victoria R, DJ Paul, A.P, Danijel Savic, Okmanow….
