Alexander Skancke - Trommel InSession 127 by trommel

Berlin based, Norwegian export Alexander Skancke is in the process of rising to the top of a very large pile, and with his relatively short time in the game he impresses more and more with each passing week. From his party starting sets that cut a tongue-in-cheek line through minimal, house, and techno, he treads the boards between injecting fun back into DJ sets while offering up seriously good music. His label Quirk is a prime example of this ethos, having already reached the eleventh edition of his vinyl imprint he melds the party starting bangers with a highly informed ear that transfers so easily to the dancefloor it is clear why he is becoming such a well known face in Berlin and much further afield.

It is this notoriety that has served him very well and it is just one of these impressive club stop offs where we find his recording for our InSession series. Taking place at one of Berlin’s true holy grail venues Tresor, the extract from the set starts strong and continues to rise throughout this near 90 minute recording. True to form, his wide musical tastes, no doubt nurtured through his work at Bikini Wax, is laid bare from start to finish. Pitch black acid house, minimal classics, and garage flecked house are never too far from the uplifting house sound that peppers his creations. Alexander Skancke is most definitely a name to watch as his star continues to climb.
