AXEL HAXEL is a German DJ and passionate vinyl collector delivering organic and synthesized musical voyages since 2012. 

He is head chef at KITCHENSESSIONS, a matinée party in open-air off-locations serving auditory & culinary treats and platform for artists to showcase their record selections for best afternoon vibes. He is also curator of intimate terrace listening sessions at “El Gato Tulipan”, a small gallery and cultural hub in the heart of Barranco in Lima, Peru. 

AXEL H. does not restrict himself to genres, instead he defies them. He sets the vibes for hot summer afternoons full of sleazy italo conga funk, sun-kissed Brazilian wriggly-bassline boogies, or accordion-heavy African disco-synth hybrids. For club presentations, his spectrum ranges from slow-grinding cosmic disco edits, guitar-heavy post-punk sonics, to the territories of acid-slapping, dub-throbbing techno cuts, aimed at sending dancefloors skywards.
