Brazilian music producer Alok will play in Prague at Duplex on Friday, April 26th.

In less than a month after the performance by the legendary Tiesto, Duplex is bringing another megastar.

Alok has been named the 4th Best DJ in the world, according to the prestigious British magazine DJ Mag Top 100 DJ Poll. He has performed at major festivals around the world, and next week heโ€™ll be playing in Prague.

Alok is breaking new ground with his latest project, The Future is Ancestral, an album that transcends music and is a culmination of over 500 hours of studio work and features collaborations with over 50 indigenous musicians.

With eight unique tracks sung by various communities, the album weaves a narrative of cultural resurgence and innovation. Each song carries a powerful message, urging us to appreciate and preserve the wisdom of our ancestral roots.

The executive production is co-signed by Fernando Garibay, the GRAMMY-award winning and nominated songwriter.

In 2020, Alok founded an institute that supports projects in Brazil, Africa, and India. โ€œThe Future is Ancestralโ€ continues this mission by raising awareness about the importance of indigenous people in protecting our planetโ€™s biodiversity.

Furthermore, the album has been recognized by UNESCO as a relevant action for the โ€œInternational Decade of Indigenous Languages.โ€  You can learn more about the entire The Future Is Ancestral project here.

Alok started his career when he was just 12 years old. Heโ€™s worked with many international artists, including Ellie Goulding and Sigala on their hit song โ€œAll by Myself,โ€ which included a sample from Depeche Modeโ€™s โ€œEnjoy the Silence.โ€

He won the International Dance Music Award for โ€œBest Remixโ€ in 2020, and artists like The Rolling Stones, Tove Lo, and Dua Lipa have all requested his remixing skills.
