XXL Invites 053 | Alex Wilcox

Alex Wilcox is an American music producer and DJ based in Berlin.

He recently burst onto the scene when Anetha discovered his sizzling banger “Sleep Paralysis” which led to his Mama Told Ya EP titled - “It’s Okay to Cry.” As reviewed by Resident Advisor, this “oddball” techno release was quickly played by Nina Kraviz, Ellen Allien, Mama Snake, Francois X, and countless others at Berghain, Fusion Fest, Ultra, and too many others to list.

The release caught the attention of label heads around the world, eventually leading to his recent EP “Always” released on Nina Kraviz’s label Trip Recordings.  This EP expanded on Alex’s deep and multi-faceted musical background - showcasing surgical, banging, hooky techno that pushed boundaries and is being played by SPFDJ, Bjarki, Patrick Mason, Anetha, Salome, AADJA, u.r. Trax, and many more. 

His influences are dramatic, ranging from working at Underground Resistance HQ in Detroit with Mike Banks, setting up microphones for Tyler, the Creator in Hollywood, to assisting Platinum-selling pop producer Pinkslip in Los Angeles.  

Alex was quickly brought out of the studio to make his Berlin debut at Ellen Allien’s infamous “We Are Not Alone” party. In the past year he has started to light up the club circuit - playing at Pal (Hamburg), Nexus (Paris), La Belle Électrique (Grenoble), Weeeirdos (Berlin), Echo Recordings (Groningen, NL) and many other spots.

His sets feature only his own productions and can be described as a genre-less chaotic whirlwind involving hard cuts, numerous BPM changes and existential theatrical moments.

2023 is looking bright as Alex  gears up to open for Charlotte de Witte in Paris and to release more ambitious musical projects - expanding his universe of unique, progressive, bombastic, catchy, and surreal club music.

EPM.187 comes from Chloe Lula. Raised in San Francisco and based in Berlin, DJ and producer Chloe is known for her deep and atmospheric sound that pulls from the niche recesses of techno. Here we can find her tough yet deep and bass driven sound creating a hypnotic groove that weaves together tracks from Viels, Bill Youngman, Function, Cassegrain, Traversable Wormhole, Edit Select, Mike Parker, Yan Cook, BLANKA and more.

Originally trained as a classical cellist, Chloe left the conservatory at 18 when she discovered raving and electronic music, moving to Berlin shortly thereafter to immerse herself in the city’s burgeoning techno scene. The confluence of these worlds has forged her textural approach to techno and inspired her to re-turn to her instrument. Today, she uses the cello to write full-length ambient, electroacoustic live shows as well as deconstructed tones and timbres that help form the unique character of her releases for the dance floor.

Chloe is a resident DJ at Tresor. She's played at Berghain, Boiler Room, Movement Detroit, and countless clubs, festivals and parties across Asia, Eu-rope, and, North and South America, becoming known for atmospheric sets that dig deep into the niche recesses of techno. She has released on Tresor Rec-ords, James Ruskin’s Blueprint and P.E.A.R.L’s label Falling Ethics alongside Oscar Mulero. Her debut instrumental full-length came out on James Ginzburg’s Subtext label in November 2024. She is also the senior producer of Resident Advisor, where she hosts and curates talks and music workshops at festivals like Atonal, Nuits Sonores, Dekmantel, Unsound, Rewire, and many more. Al-ways in pursuit of honing her craft, Chloe has become an exciting, in-demand artist who’s set apart for creating a focused, introspective musical vocabulary that is uniquely her own. 

EPM.187 is also available on Mixcloud.

About Tresor Berlin
At midnight, on March 13th 1991, a basement door opened at Leipziger Strasse 126, Berlin. Through this door, many passed, on their way to defining new terrains in electronic music. There they found a dance floor in the vaults of a closed-down department store, with a unique sound bound to dense fog, building night after night a history that was also a vision of the future.

This history has seen in Jeff Mills’ first sets on three turntables, Underground Resistance's first live appearances in Europe, grandiose Tresor Park parties, to various chapters of the Loveparade with Sven Väth in the 90s and since then countless generation-spanning parties. These moments represent the highlights of infinite personal clubbing experiences. It is the manifestation of the Berlin spirit, emerging from its considerable strife. This history is not without its complications - from temporary closure by the authorities and several raids in the early years to closure and demolition of the old location in 2005. What followed was years of wandering in exile and, finally, resurrection in the new home in Kraftwerk Berlin.

These stories, conversations and shared experiences within our walls forge a resilience that drives towards a shared ideal, the Tresor sound: community, resistance, and the world to come. This was observed in the newly re-unified German youth, who danced and celebrated together from the club’s inception, and into the present day through ongoing community work in Detroit.

To those that have danced before, and to those that will dance in the future: the light at the end of the long Tresor tunnel is a signal. A flicker amidst the fog. This is our future. This is our place.
