devoted crate digger & MIMS website founder
Lexis is one of the most versatile DJ’s, influential tastemakers and respected record diggers out there. He has been a pillar of the Montreal music scene for over 15 years.
He founded Music Is My Sanctuary in 2007 which has now grown into one of the best independent websites for lovers of next level music from all over the world. He was invited by the TEDx organization to present the very first conference on the cultural value of record digging.
One of the most interesting things about vinyl is that 90% of the time I can remember the backstory of how I got any given record. That’s where I think vinyl as a format is far superior to MP3s or streaming or CDs or whatever.
Lexis’ monthly radio show and mixes have gotten acclaim from the likes of Ninja Tune, Mixcloud (which voted him top 10 of the last three years), OkayPlayer, Vice, EgoTrip and Radio Nova. He hosts a bi-monthly radio show on Gilles Peterson’s WWFM radio.
He also created the 24 Hours Of Vinyl project, a worldwide non-profit vinyl event, which has travelled to London, Paris, New York, San Francisco, and more.
In the past few years Lexis has played worldwide festivals and clubs with some of the biggest names from various scenes and genres.
