Not Today/ ARTISTSAlexander Skancke
Alexander Skancke is a Norwegian DJ and producer based in Berlin who has built his practice around vinyl culture and analog production methods. Since early releases on Contexterrior and Neostrictly in the 2010s, he has established himself as a key figure in the city's underground dance scene, founding his own label Quirk to release his own work and that of collaborators. His sound sits between house and minimal techno, characterized by carefully crafted grooves and attention to detail in arrangement. He works at Bikini Waxx Records in Berlin, an environment that continues to inform his selections and approach to music. Skancke's years living in Oslo, Budapest, and Berlin have shaped an aesthetic that balances rootedness in house music fundamentals with a willingness to explore experimental textures.
