Merchant

@merchant · Los Angeles

Together Harry and Alex make up Merchant. Long before stepping behind the decks they were friends at university, trading tracks, dissecting sets on dancefloors, and building the kind of musical connection that naturally led to DJing together. Every Merchant set is shaped as much by the moment as by the music, unfolding in a way unknown to them at the outset. This approach has guided them in their home city of London and on many tours around the world - from sun-drenched terraces in Mexico and Brazil, to open-air sessions in Australia, to some of the scene’s most reputed hifi systems, such as Giant Steps at Houghton Festival. Away from the booth, the pair are happiest meeting people, trading stories and having a laugh. Many of their closest friendships have started that way, over shared tunes and late-night conversations, long after the lights have come up.
