The Vinyl Collector with Jude Alexander is a deep dive into the rich, soulful undercurrents of electronic and world music. With over 30 years behind the decks and in the scene, Jude’s journey began in 1996 with the legendary Waxworks warehouse party featuring Richie Hawtin, DJ Pierre, and HMC. As half of the live duo Fenetik, and a versatile solo DJ, he’s shared stages with the likes of Derrick May, Jeff Mills, James Holden, and Dave Clarke.
Jude’s sound is shaped by the deep crates of Francois K, the fearless explorations of Andrew Weatherall, and the emotional arc of Laurent Garnier. In the early years, he could be found behind the counter at Central Station Records, immersed in vinyl culture and championing underground sounds. He also co-ran pivotal club nights like The Third Room and Dream Sequence.
Now two years deep with the 1BTN family in the UK, Jude brings a lifelong passion to The Vinyl Collector—a show rooted in warm analog grooves, soulful electronics, dubbed-out techno, Balearic moods, and global rhythms. Each set is a curated journey through sound—introspective, body-moving, and always emotionally resonant.
