Drummer/percussionist/DJ/composer Alex Santilli (known as Anacleto) is a Chicago native and percussionist for soul giants "Thee Sacred Souls", as well as playing in a plethora of Chicago groups ranging from jazz to avant garde, to Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, contemporary groove and soul music.

The self-proclaimed Ethnomusicologist has traveled all over the globe doing fieldwork in search of the rhythms and songs that bind humanity. His music and performances are a reflection of this. With a deep respect for music's history and origins, his selections showcase music's roots across different cultures, staying current and always moving forward while grounded in the classics. 

He has taken the artist name "Anacleto" (after his grandfather) and releases music under the name "The Adventures of Anacleto", a mix of compositions, productions, and improvisations.

On April 13th, he’ll be in our DJ booth with a crateful of choice musical selections.
