NO STORY,
JUST A PILE OF FIRST CLASS RECORDS, A STRONG WILL TO PARTY AND SOME RAW ENERGY BABY!
LEXTRAVAGANZA hits dancefloors as a dj with a kicking mix of steaming elektro, jacking house, crazy remixes, dirty rock and a rainbow of sounds that make you go "yeah yeah". No boundries, no pigeonholes. Just a kid playing and dancing to his favourite tunes, willing to make you dance with him. Blending, mashing and throwing it together with a sauce of acapella's, loops, scratches and effects. Lextravaganza likes to bring down the roof and can’t resist throwing his energy to the audience. Striving to give his musical interpretation of however the people feel like. Going back and forth between banging and floating, aiming his sets 100% at the dancefloor.
You´re about to get raved‚ so start moving.
