Alex Picone

Alex Picone is an Italian DJ and producer from Padua who now operates from Barcelona. He launched his recording career in November 2009 and runs Small Black Dots, which functions as both a distribution company and record shop. Picone has released music under several aliases including Alex Tribal, Sergej Nicolaj, and Serious Stella, accumulating nine releases across his career spanning over 15 years.

Picone's sound encompasses tech house, deep house, and minimal/deep tech territories, with occasional ventures into peak time driving techno and classic house. His productions typically favor the deeper, more stripped-back end of the house spectrum while maintaining enough drive for peak time DJ sets. The Italian producer has maintained consistent output from his 2009 debut through 2025, demonstrating an evolution from his early house-focused releases toward more contemporary tech house and minimal productions that reflect Barcelona's influential underground scene.
