DJ Alex Mendez fell in love with music before he even touched a turntable.
By the age of 14, he was already behind the decks—spinning tracks at Latin house parties and learning how to control the energy of a room one beat at a time. What began as a hustle driven by pure passion quickly turned into a craft shaped by culture, rhythm, and the vibrant pulse of New York nightlife.
Alex’s sound is deeply rooted in New York City’s multicultural music scene, brought to life with the precision and creativity of a true open-format DJ. Every set is a journey: nostalgic yet fresh, gritty yet polished. His style is bilingual and beat-forward—designed for dance floors that want to move and crowds that come alive after dark.
Over the years, DJ Alex Mendez has carved out a name for himself in the city’s most iconic LGBTQ+ spaces. He holds weekly residencies at HUSH and Boxers NYC, two staples of Manhattan’s nightlife scene where his high-energy sets have become a Friday and Saturday night ritual. His ability to seamlessly switch from underground Latin cuts to global anthems makes him a standout in any room.
Off the dance floor, Alex remains dedicated to evolving his craft—digging for fresh tracks, studying crowd energy, and staying ahead of the culture. Whether he’s headlining a packed Pride event, spinning at a rooftop party in Brooklyn, or playing a sweaty late-night set in Hell’s Kitchen, he brings heart, heat, and authenticity to every moment.
DJ Alex Mendez isn’t just playing music—he’s building experiences. The kind you remember. The kind that make you dance without thinking. The kind that turn up the volume on what it means to be seen, heard, and alive in New York City.
