Alex Barck is a German DJ, producer, and founding member of the influential collective Jazzanova. His rise to international recognition began in the late 1990s, when Jazzanova became known for its groundbreaking fusion of jazz, house, and hip-hop. As A&R for the Berlin-based label Sonar Kollektiv, he helped shape a catalogue of soulful pop and forward-thinking dance music that continues to inspire.
Barck started his DJ career in Berlin at Club Akbar Lounge and the legendary Delicious Doughnuts, eventually performing in top clubs around the world—Yellow in Tokyo, Zouk in Singapore, Trouw in Amsterdam, and Plastic People in London. He has shared the stage with heavyweights like François K., Gilles Peterson, and Carl Craig, earning a reputation for eclectic, sophisticated sets that traverse genres and borders.
A tastemaker as much as a performer, Barck has curated acclaimed compilations such as Secret Love and Computer Incarnations, and remains active on German radio and remix projects. In 2011, he teamed up with producer Christian Prommer to form Prommer & Barck, touring widely across Europe with their genre-blending sound.
