Alleanza promo: Lex Valverde – Takatal

Lex Valverde marks the next phase of his career with Takatal on Jewel Kid’s Alleanza, the first clear statement since retiring the Better Than Lex alias. The shift reflects a deliberate tightening of focus, aligning his name more directly with a sound that has grown darker and more defined.

Rolling and tribal-edged, Takatal is driven by intricate percussion and a firm low-end foundation. Subtle melodic accents lift the arrangement, while an atmospheric spoken word vocal adds depth without loosening its club impact. It is controlled, precise and built for late hours.

After five formative years in Germany and now based in Amsterdam, Lex Valverde has sharpened his position between tech house and techno with intent. Backed by Beatport chart entries, support from Mark Knight, David Tort, Low Steppa and Illyus & Barrientos, plus airplay on Toolroom Radio and Sunshine Live, he steps into 2026 with clarity and momentum.
