Alexander Skancke

Other than being one of the affable fellows behind the counter at Berlin record store Bikini Waxx, Norwegian expat Alexander Skancke is an active DJ around town and runs the new Quirk imprint - which is now into its third release. QRK 003 features some dusty deep house that is perfectly geared towards the afterhours as heard on "Spooky Luke", while something more funked-up and energetic is catered for on the infectiously swinging B-side cut "Shotgun". Skancke gets back to the early morning program, again, on the B-side's hazy and disorienting microhouse jam "Twelve" (In The Morning) with its nice Rominimal vibe.
