Bio

Mandy Alexander is a DJ, Radio Host, and Writer hailing from the Mother City, Cape Town, SA. Mandy is an all-encompassing music devotee with a journey that began on the dancefloor. Through her curiosity for the energy emitted through underground dance music, she began to research and unpack the roots of House and Techno music. By regularly attending House and Techno events, she became a necessary voice in initiating critical conversations surrounding the marginalisation and inequalities within Cape Town’s dance music scene. She has published work on Dweller, Beatportal, and Resident Advisor. Mandy currently hosts a monthly radio show called “An Open Letter To” on the Cape Town-based online radio show - Hamshack Radio. She also held a three-month residency called “Liner Notes” on the Bristol-based 1020 Radio which showcased South African electronic dance music.
Through her monthly radio shows, Mandy has established herself as an up-and-coming DJ. Her vast knowledge of the various music soundscapes has afforded her the opportunity to showcase her love and appreciation for music through thoughtfully curated DJ sets. Mandy aims to look at music as a function for healing and movement. This can be seen in
her writing and heard in her DJ sets. Her sonic landscape consists of a wide array of genres, including Deep House, Soul, Techno, Disco, and Jazz. Mandy is intentional with her music whether it’s a vocal or instrumental that leads the sonic experience, she hopes to carry the message of love and liberation of the mind to everyone tuned in.
