Villager is the electrifying new DJ project of Alex Young, born in Washington, D.C., now building momentum in the producer/DJ world. After cutting his teeth touring with titans like Skrillex, Diplo, Cashmere Cat, and Kaytranada between ages 15 to 19, he paused to retool the project into something bold and creatively fearless. His live set from Lightning in a Bottle 2025 delivers immersive, genre-bending textures and unexpected energy—just the sort of sonic discovery that future-forward acts are built on. Already earning support from Four Tet, Jamie xx, and Bonobo, he's emerging as a visionary act with serious potential.
