Mexican DJ and producer Lex Valverde enters 2026 with a renewed sense of authorship, retiring the Better Than Lex alias in favour of his real last name. The shift signals a more direct and personal chapter, bringing the artist closer to the music while carrying forward the club-tested foundations that have shaped his trajectory so far. Lex Valverde has secured multiple Beatport chart entries while earning support from names including Mark Knight, David Tort, Low Steppa and Illyus & Barrientos. Airplay on stations such as Toolroom Radio and Sunshine Live has further extended his reach, placing his records in steady rotation with selectors who favour purposeful club material. With his latest single ‘Takatal’ out now on Alleanza, DMCWorld goes Back To Mine with Lex Valverde.
Nalin & Kane – Beachball
An absolute Ibiza anthem, the first time I heard this song was on a CD from my sister, she loved that song, and she is not that much into Electronic Music, that says everything. I did an edit of this amazing track that I love playing it from time to time.
Roger Sanchez – I Never Knew
Everyone know Another Chance, but the fact that people don’t know I Never Knew still baffles me, an all time favorite, and one of my first vinyls.
Röyksopp – What Else Is There? (Trentemøller Remix)
This track packs a punch, the grudgy bassline the nostalgic vocal, and all the acid elements. This track can destroy you and make you whole again, all in 7:44 minutes.
Mark Knight – The Return of Wolfy
Mark Knight is one of these guys who make iconic music that talks to your soul, the pianos, the strings, there’s no lead vocal but it’s not needed, pure bliss.
Robyn – With every heartbeat (Pete Tong & Dave Spoon remix)
A beautiful track, it’s an absolute weapon to close a set, the strings hit directly to my heart, just beautiful.
Hot Since 82 vs. Joe T Vannelli – The End
Hard to describe this track, it’s minimalistic and has one of these slow but beautiful build-ups, it gives mystery, tension, and mesmerizing sounds all around.
Harry ”Choo Choo” Romero – Tania
Harry it’s one of those names that will live forever in House history, Tania it’s for me another great example that music doesn’t need vocals to transmit something, the groove on this one is incredible and the filtering layers, love this tune.
Flashmob – Need In Me
I have a lot of love and respect for Sandro; he is an incredible artist and human being. This track defined a whole House Era, and it’s just a perfect package, the vocal, the drums, the keys, it has everything.
Fragma – Tocas Miracle
Also, one of these tracks that I can listen to any time and it gives me a good feeling. I had the pleasure to meet Ramon, one of the minds behind Fragma, an amazing guy, super talented. I hope one day he gives me permission to remix it haha.
Jocelyn Brown – Somebody Else’s Guy (M&M Remix)
One of my forever favorite vocals, packed with so much emotion, it’s impossible not to feel it. I love dropping this vocal live on my sets, it always work.
‘Takatal’ out now on Alleanza.
