Band Members: DJ BURLESK
DJ Burlesk started DJing in 2004, but already he has become a popular DJ at alternative clubs and happenings. His style is like no other Oslo-based DJ, as he plays hard-hitting industrial tracks along side the complete opposite. He likes to surprise the crowd, and of course they all love it! Usually he plays new releases from all the bands in the Black Alert genre, but as mentioned, he might also surprise you with some old rare tracks. Burlesk has been with Black Alert from the very beginning, and he himself is one of the reasons for the club's success.
Besides his magnificent effort at Black Alert, Burlesk has also been DJing at Elektrostat, Oslo Fetish, Kraftverk and Gotham Nights, to name a few.

MYOTIS
Myotis is a very talented artist who does all the decorations for Black Alert. With clever ideas and a lot of creative skills, she manages to make our club look the best it can be. The approach is always different for each party, but usually her designs are clean, dark, artistic and breathtaking.
From time to time, Myotis also visits our DJ-booth. If you're lucky enough to catch one of her mini-sets, you will definitely hit the dance floor with a big smile on your face.
Myotis is into a lot of music, but at Black Alert she mainly plays catchy Synthpop.
