Alex Lewis
DJ Afrique
30+ Years of Sound, Soul & Dedication
Where It All Began
Late 1980s, NY/NJ. Before the Bay Area knew his name.
First Turntables
A young Alex Lewis picks up his first set of decks in the NY/NJ area. The music, the house parties, the radio. They all pointed to this.
Club Residencies Begin
Club Decontee and Club Zanzibar become home base. Alex earns his stripes spinning Afrobeat, house, and R&B for packed rooms every weekend.
Bay Area's Fiercest DJ
Oakland's Club Rimshot puts Alex on the flyer as the Bay Area's Fiercest DJ. The name sticks. The legend grows.
Bay Area Institution
Residencies at White Horse, Paradiso, The Bench and Bar, and Bella. Opens for countless artists. Alex becomes the DJ everyone wants for their most important night.
30+ Years & Still Going
Full service DJ for weddings, private parties, club events, cultural celebrations. Three decades in and the groove only deepens.
“The music never stops”
This is the sanctuary. Thousands of records line these walls. Every groove, every memory, every late night spent digging for that one track that makes a room hold its breath. This isn't a hobby. This is a life's work.
The Afrique Sound
The name says it all. “Afrique” reflects a deep love for the sounds that move people. Afrobeat, highlife, African soul, music that crosses every border and generation.
Whether he's blending soulful rhythms into a house set or setting the tone at a wedding reception, Alex connects people through sound. You can hear the love in every transition.
