Colombian born Alex Sensation, who is also recognized as El Mezclu, started his career when he was only a teenager as a night club DJ at the famous Copacabana in New York. Here is where he was discovered by a former SBS programming director and was invited to join the DJ roster at WSKQ-FM Mega 97.9FM, where he launched “La Mega Mezcla con Alex Sensation.” Sensation became an instant hit and has gained a worldwide fan base due to the popularity of the show and his ability to mix all kinds of music genres. La Mega Mezcla con Alex Sensation, is currently the #1 midday show regardless of language in the New York tri-state area. The long-standing success of the program has also resulted in numerous extensions of the brand, such as its inclusion in the programming line-up of SBS’s El Nuevo Zol’s 106.7FM in Miami, FL as well as two annual and historically sold out arena-scaled concerts: “Mega Mezcla” in New York, NY and “Miami Bash” in Miami, FL. Alex Sensation can also be heard on his own music station within the La Musica digital app.
In addition to becoming one of the most influential music tastemakers in radio and the music industry, Alex Sensation, is also a recording music artist and has collaborated with some of the biggest Latin music stars such as Bad Bunny, Ozuna, Gente de Zona, Yandel and Shaggy amongst others.
“My passion has always been to energize our listeners through their enjoyment of music. It doesn’t matter if they are listening at home, work, a family event, a nightclub or a concert, music is how I directly connect with my listeners and I’m excited to use this platform as a way to further engage with a broader audience,” said Alex Sensation. “The syndication of my music mixes has always been a goal for me and I’m excited for the opportunity to launch the show with AIRE Radio Networks.”
