Dokser

His different faces and a number of alter egos speak for themselves when trying to describe Javier Dokser, and his many ways of understanding music. Eclectic is the manner in which he takes us to unthinkable places that can only be reached through experimenting. That is why Dokser does not fit into one traditional style, nor can he be placed into one specific category. To get to know Dokser, we can only wait for him to surprise us with one of his next mixes, productions or live acts.
