Now based out of Los Angeles, Excel‘s rich stock has kept him in high demand amongst tastemakers and corporate clients like Nike, Google, Cisco, Youtube, HBO and Playboy, in addition to regular appearances spanning every nightlife market between the coasts, including residencies in Las Vegas, Miami, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Iowa City and Atlantic City. In his downtime, he produces with Baltimore’s DJ Impulse under the moniker ALFA PAARE. With 6 EP releases and numerous remixes for artists like, Dev, Yuna, Leon Bridges, & Silk City under their belt, they quickly have earned themselves regular placement in some of the most respected DJ sets around the Globe. --- Analog Archive is a series that began in 2024 as an opportunity for Sonny & Excel to rediscover many of the records that had been sitting in storage for nearly a decade. After having the vinyl shipped from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, the two decided it was time to start a series where they have fun with the music again. ---- /   / analogarchivemixes   / http://www.djexcel.com / http://www.mrsonnyjames.com / http://www.illvibe.com ---- Cameras: Panasonic Lumix GX8 https://www.panasonic.com/mea/en/cons...
