Praxis is a transversal collective that emerges from the most intense club sound of electronic music and all the culture that surrounds it. Created and based in Barcelona by three restless young people hopes to help consolidate the electronic music scene in Barcelona by providing a new vision in the club experience.

Brotherhood, freedom and the strict search for quality are the values ​​on which its actions are based, thus facilitating a space free of conventions.

Praxis nights are characterized by their high energy component and a very specific sound. Rhythm, power and innovation. They are nights of frenetic dancing and auditory delight shared with other beings in a space of total freedom.

Praxis takes the club experience further, not only providing a characteristic sound but also creating sensations, feelings and emotions during the night. Praxis tries to make you feel.

Through the collective's label, PRX Records, artists with a representative sound are given a voice, always seeking avant-garde and fresh sound design, contagious rhythms and an abusive energy.

In this project we reflect our fundamentals, something we do out of conviction, necessity and definition.

A native-born Texan, John Michael Pekowski, PhD (b. 1975) began composing music at age 11. Simple improvisations on the family upright piano were followed by electronic compositions in BASIC code on the TI-99 computer.

In High School (1994) John was section leader, co-principal trumpet of LYSO, Jazz One soloist (TTU Band Camp), and TMEA All-State Concert Band participant.

He was a member of the Texas Tech University Jazz One, Symphonic Band (1994-2002), recorded with the fee-improvisation ensemble YATE, his dissertation greatly advanced our understanding of the hierarchical organization of pitch-interval cycles within a voice-leading context, and was in contention for the Graduate Achievement Award.

The world premiere of his composition Jest of Moonlit Point for Pierrot Quintet, took place in 2024 and was performed by the Texas New Music Ensemble conducted by Bill Tacket. In 2021 Forest of the Birdsong for soprano sax (David Dees) and piano (Nataliya Sukhina) was premiered at Crickets Theater / Buddy Holly Hall.
