NYC | Water Taxi Beach | Alex Pearce | Sun, May 11

Alex Pearce, NY's #1 Electro DJ.

Alex Pearce's ability to read the vibe of a crowd and build his sets accordingly has made him one of the hottest young DJs to come out of NYC in 2008. Top notch mixing, programming, and track selection have earned Alex the right to rock a crowd across the East Coast and South America with the likes of Sander Kleinenberg, Seb Fontaine, Behrouz and more. It is one of the reasons why he's regularly asked to play at some of the best clubs and venues that NYC has to offer – from Cielo, to Pacha, to Love to the villages' trendiest house music crawls; Sullivan Room, Le Souk and 205, etc.

In the studio, 2007 saw the release of Alex's first big room tracks; "Carbon", his first release out on Spice Cadet recordings was an edgy progressive stomper. "Purpose" a co collaboration with Tony Mugavero is a peak hour Electro house banger released on Freq1see records November of '07. Now with Quarterlife Records Alex has an outlet for extending his NYC Electro House sound across the world.
