Lexis (aka Alexis Charpentier) is one of the most eclectic minded DJ’s out there and is absolutely obsessed with research, always excited to discover new or old music. He founded MusicIsMySanctuary.com in 2007 and has now seen it grow into one of the go-to websites for lovers of next level music. It now reaches over 30,000 people a month from all over the world. He also started the 24HoursofVinyl.com project.
His monthly radio show has been steadily growing over the past years and every episode is now listened to by approximately 10,000 people. His last few shows managed to make it to #1 on the very popular Mixcloud.com platform who also made his show #13 of 2011.
In just the past few years, Lexis has shared the stage with lots of artists from very different scenes: UK Garage and Dubstep (the good kind) with people like Mary Anne Hobbs, Roska, Mount Kimbie, El-B, Zed Bias, Ramadanman. Beats and Hip-Hop stuff with great people like Samiyam, Dibiase, Onra, Teebs, Lefto. More organic and soulful stuff with people like DJ Vadim, Quantic, Mark De Clive-Lowe, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Nickodemus, Dam-Funk and finally good ol’ house music with fellow heads Julio Bashmore, Soulphiction, Lone…
