Alex Cecil is an up and coming DJ and producer highly regarded in the Miami and NYC underground scene. Known for his unique sets blending diverse musical styles, Cecil’s sound lives in the delicate intersection between dark indie dance and uplifting melodies. As he puts it, “There can be both, and it can be beautiful.” Some call his style “a playful warehouse attitude” and some describe it as a trippy alternative reality in the future.
This unique take on performance, composition and transition come from him being a classical musician since age 7. His music seamlessly weaves moments of peace, tension, aggression, and resolution, taking listeners on a journey.
A mastermind of mischief — always scheming with a smile on his face. Lovable, menacing and undeniably talented. After years of dedication starting with an underground gig in downtown Manhattan, he’s worked his way up to performing every year at the best day party of Burning Man — DISTRIKT as well as other top sound camps at Burning Man such as Miki Beach.
You may have heard him spin at Miami strongholds such as Floyd at Club Space, ATV, Treehouse, Do Not Sit, Amsterdam staple Adam Tower, or NYC’s House of Yes. He’s shared the bill with the likes of DJ Tennis, Maceo Plex, Bob Moses, DJ Three, Echonomist, Art Department, Paco Osuna and Stacy Pullen amongst others.
This week, we are pleased to welcome the master of mischief to Prima Lux where he puts his trippy transitions and genre-fluid prowess on full display. Enjoy!
