It's rare for an artist with Luke Alexander's pedigree to rise within the world of electronic music. As the son of a renowned New York City Hip Hop producer, Luke has been immersed in music and art since birth. Raised on the streets of New York, he developed his identity early, rooted in the four loves that define him: music, art and fashion, travel, and his city. While mastering his craft in New York, Luke forged his sound by blending anthemic songwriting with the rebellious edge of mid-2000s American electronic music. He added his signature grit and creativity, resulting in what's now unmistakably the Luke Alexander sound. From the moment he entered the scene, Luke made waves with bold releases on top-tier dance labels like Spinnin' Records, Revealed Records, Loudkult, Mixmash, and Oneseven. His work quickly earned the support of industry legends, including Tiesto, Zedd, Dom Dolla, Cassian, Acraze, Loud Luxury, Martin Garrix, and Meduza.

Luke's energy isn't confined to the studio-he's one of the most electrifying live acts in the U.S., performing over 100 shows annually at some of the country's premier venues, such as Marquee NY, LIV Miami, DAER South Florida, The Brooklyn Mirage, and HQ Atlantic City. From coast to coast, his performances captivate audiences, turning every show into a high-energy spectacle.

In 2024, Luke took his talents overseas, dominating international stages with headline performances in Spain, Italy, Ireland, and The Netherlands. He continues to break boundaries in electronic music, bringing people together through his powerful sound and unapologetic vision. A true New Yorker at heart, Luke Alexander embodies the hustle, grit, and perseverance it takes to shape destiny. He's not just an artist; he's a force redefining electronic dance music.

The New King of New York has arrived.


Supported by: Dom Dolla, Cassian, Tiesto, Zedd, Alesso, Loud Luxury, Acraze, & more. 

Releases on Spinnin', Ultra, Revealed, Mixmash, One Seven, Myth Of Nyx

Fortunate to grow up around the rich club culture of NYC and influenced by the sounds around him, Avision now finds himself helping to usher in a new wave of techno for the New York scene.  His debut album In My Mind has been released on Maceo Plex’s Ellum Audio imprint, which DJ Mag UK has called “an impressive body of work stuffed full of melodic techno and maximal house”.

Anthony Cardinale aka Avision started young on the turntables at the age of 12,  gained his first residency at 15, and hasn’t looked back since.  Recent touring highlights include gigs at The Brooklyn Mirage & Time Warp in NYC, Off Sonar in Barcelona, EDC Las Vegas, Space Miami, Watergate Berlin and Stereo Montreal.

Around the same time as his DJ career started, he began to hone his production skills in the studio, and has developed a distinctly New York-flavored techno sound that he’s now bringing to the world.  Over the last number of years, he’s had releases on a range of influential labels across the spectrum of techno; from Ellum and Drumcode, to Hardgroove and Truncate to name a few. 

Avision has also recently started the Ground Rule Collective, an outlet which brings together all of the different aspects of his creative passions: music,  events, clothing, art, and food - all driven by New York influence. The events portion of Ground Rule has launched with a recurring series of events in New York at Superior Ingredients (formerly Output), and the first clothing line drop followed shortly after.  The philosophy of Ground Rule will mirror the development of Anthony as Avision, “staying true to the music, the art form and myself is something I always want to push forward.”

It was in 2011 that Dutch pair Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets quickly broke through in the electronic music scene. Since then they have become known for their widescreen approach to making and playing club-ready grooves. From deep to disco, tech to soul, they join the dots between the past and the present with their own sense of storytelling and do so in clubs around the world, as well as in their studio. House might be the root of the Dam Swindle sound, but it takes nourishment from a much wider world of music. 

Still now, their breakthrough tunes such as ‘The Wrap Around’ and ‘The Break Up’ receive countless plays on dancefloors all over the world and the duo has made timeless music such as their 2023 disco-house bomb ‘ That’s right’ and 90’s throwback banger ‘Allright – just a tribute’ that became one of the hits of the 2024 festival summer. Dam Swindle has built a trademark sound, while still evolving and maturing their craft in various musical niches. Their landmark 2018 album High Life shows a broad musicality from the duo and this is even more so on their highly anticipated 2025 long player ‘Open’.  ‘Open’ features countless collaborations with high-profile artists such as Dutch pianist Joep Beving and New York-based Ethiopian vocalist Haile Supreme, and sees the duo flex their sound from ambient electronica to synthwave, hiphouse and more. 

Since 2013, the pair has also established their record label Heist Recordings as one of the key independent labels for underground dance music, while also releasing music on other underground mainstays such as Aus Music and Classic Music Company. Heist is more than just a label, though - it is a breeding ground for talents old and new; somewhere talent is nurtured and allowed to develop. Label showcases and special projects such as the yearly Roundup EP; where all artists from the past 12 months remix each other after a random selection process, furthers the family vibe and helps Heist stand out from crowd. Artists such as Cinthie, DJ Sneak, Crackazat, Tesfa Williams, Makèz, Pépé Bradock, Matthew Herbert, Ge-Ology, Byron the Aquarius and many more have all contributed, proving that it is a place for unrestrained creatives to be free with their own sonic visions. The label looks as good as it sounds, too, thanks to visual artist Bas Koopmans's standout artwork designs. 
 
Proof of Dam Swindle's widescreen approach to production is their long and talented list of collaborators, which includes the likes of acclaimed musician Tom Misch, US talent Seven Davis Jr., instrumental collective Jungle by Night, plus Marc de Clive-Lowe, Jitwam and Lorenz Rhode. Next to their own originals, a broad spectrum of artists have asked Dam Swindle for some of their special remix magic: on labels like Strut and Soundway they have reworked the legendary Pat Thomas, aka the ‘Golden voice of Africa,' and gave his single ‘Yamona’ a contemporary electronic edge, as well as The Mauskovic Dance Band’s track ‘Space Drum Machine’ and plenty more artists like Kerri Chandler, Mayer Hawthorne and Tom Misch. As their talent for bridging genres from all over the world continues to attract global attention, high-profile projects keep rolling in from all points on the musical globe. 

Dam Swindle are famously avid collectors of both old and new records, and it shows in their DJ sets, which keep you on your toes as they move freely through the broad world of house music with skillfully blended moods of soulful techno, acid, breaks, disco and more, all to create those special moments that crowds never forget. It is for that reason that their name has become a real stamp of authority and invention in the dance music world. Whatever they do, then, this pair do with irresistible charm.
