It took me a while after having moved to another country and a change in my personal life to find the inspiration and consistent workflow again. I am getting closer and closer and part of the consistency was creating this podcast for you. The first track I have loved for many years now and always wanted to do something with it, thanks Francesca for sharing the original with me. I finally felt inspired to grab it and give it some AC flavour. It's always a proces to create a journey with musical tracks, where I am trying to bring that timelessness, balance and surprise in there. It's probably the same proces as writing a book. Keep you curious for what is coming next. It's just like life. Well....enough words, enjoy the music and journey and hope to see you in real life again soon! Love, Alex

I am a true believer of when you really want to make something happen you need 5 letters for that. F O C U S.
It’s not always easy and sometimes the circumstances make it hard. Also, we are not all that privileged on this planet that we’re able to decide what we want to do ourselves. But….when we have the possibility to be able to make choices and preferably try to aim to reach our (heart) goal we have the responsibility, in my opinion, to aim for that and do the work. Cause so many are simply not in our position. I feel very blessed that I was able to try to reach for what makes me happy. I have always been very passionate about music. At the age of 9 I heard an album of the BeeGees played at one of my father’s friends in Amsterdam and I froze…..I loved what I heard. And no, that day I did not know I wanted to work in the music industry but my thoughts wandered back to that moment many times during my life. At a certain waking up moment I realised that time is too precious to waste. I had to focus on what I really wanted. Luckily all of you who listen(ed) to my podcasts and songs gave me the opportunity to make my dream come true. Welcome to Podcast 47: Focus. Much love, Alex

One of my favourite moments of the year is when I work on a new podcast. I love playing live for people, which is, don’t get me wrong, amazing. One other aspect of what I do is working in the studio, I truly love the creation of a new podcast. My true desire while making it is to create a journey what gives the listeners (you) the feeling that they are being taken on an adventure. It’s like going out for a day trip and not knowing what to expect and what is coming. And while making edits, remixes etc I already get very excited while picturing the sensation on your end. That’s a very fulfilling feeling when I receive all your heartfelt messages where you share the journey with me that I created for you. All the emotions that lie in musical creations are so powerful. And yes, while creating I sometimes shed a tear where I get touched myself by the journey. After recording the audio it’s time for the artwork. So I spend time on that while playing the podcast for myself. And the result you are seeing here :-) So….long story short, while being in the jungle for a few days last week I finished this new and freshly squeezed Deep & Sexy for you. Enjoy it to the fullest and hope to see you somewhere on this planet soon again. Much love, Alex

Here we go! Freshly squeezed for all of you: my new Deep & Sexy podcast. I am very grateful for all the people I am surrounded with in my life and I am also very grateful that I am able to do what I love in life. Looking at what is happening these days in for example Ukraine is very painful to watch. In the part of the world where I am living, many people have choices. ‘If’ we have choices, my opinion is that we have a responsibility to be there for others who don’t have options and choices. With my music I try to reach as many people as possible who resonate with my creations and mixes. Hopefully it helps people to get something out of it, no matter what it is. Let me know your thoughts on this podcast and I will be back soon with a new song on Spotify. Much love! Alex

After being on the road again the last 3 months with multiple amazing events and with a few very special moments in my heart I decided it’s time again to share (parts of) my live sets again. I played a set a month ago at Public Works in San Francisco and it was an absolute magical night. One out of many the last few months to be honest…..so here you’ll find part of the set that I played that night. My next one (51) will be my live recorded set at AfrikaBurn of late April of this year. So a little more patience on that one. I hope you’ll like this one. It has a few of my currently favourites in it. Listen to it with good company and don’t forget to (sun)shine in your life. Life is way too short…..I just recently noticed that with a sudden death of a close friend’s dad and another close friend got diagnosed with cancer…..let’s be grateful for what we have because life is not infinite. Much love, Alex

One of my happiest moments of the year is when I go to AfrikaBurn. Being there in the middle of nowhere, no civilization, people building shelter and accommodation for a few days, being there for a few days to a week, break off everything and leaving no trace. In the middle of all that I find myself in such a luxurious position where I can see many of my friends, spend time with them without having the distraction of phones, e-mail etc. Being fully present with the people there and then also being able to share music with them….that to me is such a blessing and I think you can hear that back in my sets. So…..I played another set at Space Cowboys and I felt so much joy, I saw so much pure joy in peoples eyes, body language and the sounds which came out of their mouths ;-) Enjoy the live set I played there with the sound of the audience in it as well. Much love! Alex

Hello beautiful people. I really enjoyed making this podcast for you all. I never listen back to any of my podcasts after I have made them but yesterday I gave myself over an hour to fully listen to what I recorded and what came to mind for me during this car ride was that it felt like a journey. Many of you have shared with me in the past that my podcasts take you on a journey. And now I witnessed that myself. So….long story short, enjoy this ride, enjoy this journey. We all have our own journeys in life and my journey for the next year feels like I will be able to bring you lots of beautiful originals, covers, remixes and of course these Deep & Sexy Podcasts. Wishing you a beautiful last month of the year ahead and thanks for sharing my music with your friends, family members, Uber drivers, coffee shops and many others. Much love! Alex

Welcome to my 53rd podcast! Breathe….it’s probably the most important thing in life and I practice it consciously almost every day. Why? Cause it brings me back into my body whenever I feel a little out of touch with it. Nowadays there are many ‘teachers’ who can help with this. I still do my practise with the good old Wim Hof and recently I discovered another amazing breath coach Finnian Kelly who was able to bring me very deep back into my own body. Thank you Finnian for guiding me there. After a breath session I dove into my catalogue of music and created another podcast for you all. The last few weeks I was able to work on a lot of new releases for the next coming months as well, so keep an eye on my Spotify channel. I am very excited for many of this releases which I will gradually share with you throughout the year. For now, be safe and stay well. If you like this podcast please don't forget to like and share it with your loved ones. Love, Alex

Afrikaburn 2023….what another adventure that was. I played two sets. One at my beloved Space Cowboys and the second one at the Bridges For Music camp, called Ubuhlanti. Saturday night, a packed venue (yes, I would call it a venue) and an amazing African female artist playing before me, creating a high energy amongst the crowd. My turn….so much fun, so many happy faces, so much love to share. Being at AfrikaBurn is always one of my highlights of the year and this year was definitely not an exception to that. Enough words….enjoy the music and the vibe! See you soon somewhere on this planet! Love, Alex

Welcome to a new Deep & Sexy journey! This time my theme is ‘peace’. Maybe an obvious one. There is always need for more peace, whether it’s on a global level or on a smaller level. Everywhere we need more peace. Peace between countries is probably the one most needed these days. But don’t forget the peace in classrooms where kids are bullied by others. Not only happens it at schools, it happens at the corporation where you or your neighbor might be working as well. So please look around you and try to show up for people who need it. Also….it doesn’t mind to be more kind. Just be aware of it to try to show up with kindness and compassion. There is a story behind everyone. From the outside we can’t see what’s all going on in the human in front of us or next to us. Enjoy some music now…..hope you’ll be able to enjoy and share it with your friends. Much love, Alex

Hello lovely people!! Please find here a recording of one of the sets I played at Burning Man this year. It was my Thursday evening set at Titanic’s End. It was an absolute pleasure to play there and see so many of my friends show up and of course many others. Burning Man is always a special time, especially this year with some rain and muddy, fun times after and during. Thank you all for seeing me at live events this year and listening to my music on Spotify and Soundcloud. I feel very grateful for all the messages I receive where many of you share very personal things with me. It’s an honour to touch so many of you. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and New Year and hope to see you somewhere on this globe next year. Much love, Alex

The Paper Kites - Bloom (Alex Cruz & No One 32 Private Edit)

Alex Cruz and Brascon combine for the deep and groovy High Wire

Consistently crafting a delectable mosaic of deep house cuts that always inspire, Alex Cruz shines in his ability to relate to his listeners. Not only on the production front does he excel; as a DJ he has performed all over the world in all the major cities as well as at festivals like Burning Man. Cruz’ latest Deep & Sexy x Soave installment sees him collaborate with his good Berlin-based friend Brascon to draft up this hypnotizing deep house instrumental, while London-based singer-songwriter Bailey hops on the mic to take this one straight to your soul. “High Wire” is as high-spirited for dance as it is soulful for calm, making this a record you need at the top of your current collection!

Hello beautiful people! Welcome to Deep & Sexy Podcast #57. Every time I work on a podcast I feel so unbelievably joyful. You cannot imagine what it feels like to create something that I share with all of you. All the joy I have upfront by imagining what you’d think of the tracks, the journey and transitions and how it makes you feel. I truly hope it gives you as much joy as it does to me. I have been able to work in the studio a lot the last few weeks to be able to release a lot of new songs on Spotify the next months. I’m off soon to Europe and Africa to do some gigs and I’ll have studio time with my friend Brascon in Berlin as well so I am super excited for all of that. Have a listen and hope you’ll enjoy my new podcast. Much love! Alex

Deep & Sexy Podcast no.23 - Live recorded at Necker Island. Last week I had the honour to play at sir Richard Branson's own private Island, which is part of the British Virgin islands. After a show in Panama, a show on top of a mountain in Utah with a stunning sunset, these tracks came out of my recordbag on this beautiful island. The environment of a beach, a BIG hot tub, palm trees, cocktails and amazingly smart, intelligent and most of all FUN people I played a 4 hour set (with live on Violin mister Dave Kim and support by legend DJ John Dill) until we took the last boat off of the island at 3:30am. An amazing adventure! I have been in the studio again the last couple of days to be sure that some new tracks will come your way soon! Have fun listening for now and see you soon! Hasta la vista!

So many beautiful experiences I have been through the last couple of weeks. From a beautiful gig in Lake Tahoe, to other crazy ones in LA, NY, San Diego and Austin. And then last week I had the privilege to play at the AfrikaBurn. A festival about 5 hours drive from Cape Town. I did two shows there. A sunset one and a pre-burn one. Both beautiful on its own. And when you hear the crowd scream: 'one more song, one more song' knowing that I already played 2 'more' songs....yes, then you know that they like what you do. That having said: I love bringing joy and happiness in your lives so the feeling is mutual! So straight from the heart another Deep & Sexy podcast for you guys. It's been a while so it is about time to fill your hearts with joy, soul and emotion again through some music. Embrace it and till the next time we (live or on soundcloud)meet! Love! Alex

I recorded this 25th podcast live at a real intimate Deep & Sexy party last Sunday. In a wonderful setting with a beautiful pool, palm trees and amazing people ? The last months has brought me several highlights. Playing for the first time in San Francisco, my very own Deep & Sexy pool party with genius Sax player Justin Ward. Playing on a yacht and a castle in Cambridge, enjoying another yacht at the Film Festival in Cannes, France. Playing Dusk in NYC, in the deep jungle of Nicaragua, also another beautiful gig at sir Richard Branson’s Necker island again. At the beach of the Dominican Republic, Cabarete and so many other beautiful places. 
On my way to Ibiza in a second for another beautiful encounter! And in 2 weeks I will be playing several events at The Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. One of them will be in the Olympic Village, so I am so excited for that! Creating some deep house tracks with existing Brazilian vocals on it right now to make sure I am ready for the Brazilian people! For now: enjoy my new podcast and hope to bring some sunshine and happiness in your life with it! Hopefully till soon somewhere on this planet!
Love, Alex

After making this track for my Pynk community in New York I felt I needed to make the world part of this gem. So…..after Giel Beelen (a Dutch well-know radio dj) gave Gabbi Lieve a huge platform on his talent show, I asked Gabbi to sing the vocals on this track. It is important to take care of your inner Sweet Child and therefor my message to you to be sweet, kind, loving, honest and caring to your inner Sweet Child.
And now: ‘press play’ ;-)

Have fun listening to this!

That time of the year....AfrikaBurn.....and yes it was another one on fire again. I felt ALIVE this AfrikaBurn. And the set you find here is the set I played on Thursday afternoon, sunset at Camp Now. Playing on the playa, dancing people around me, beautifully dressed up and feeling the freedom and their own soul and emotions. It was another privilege to play for all of these people again. Thanks as well to Bubbles & Bass and The Golden Calf for bringing so many beautiful experiences during my live sets there! And of course a big thanks to my AfrikaBurn Dino family! 
Enjoy this set! Till soon! Love, Alex

After being on the road for a long time, then coming back into the studio and getting back into producing/editing/remixing tracks for single releases and podcasts was to be honest quite tough the last 2 months. Making tracks and then realising at certain moments that clearances will not happen so these tracks won’t be released at all…..that is far from inspiring. So I was searching for some inspiration again and then I flew to Colombia, Medellin. 5 flights within 24 hours to only get there, starting just before midnight. It is not all glitter and glamour in the dj world. BUT…..arriving at Medellin and then getting such a warm welcome from people who I have never met before. Julian, Clara, David, Beto, Mia, to name a few. I played a private party that day and the day after a 3-hour set at Salon Amador (Thanks to Panda 404). A beautiful, cozy and well designed and decorated nightclub in the heart of Medellin. What I did not expect (I hardly have expectations) is that so many people inside this club knew me and where really excited for my performance. How can you go wrong then? I think I played one of my best sets of this year and looking at the crowd I think they liked it as well ;-) So Medellin, Salon Amador, people from Colombia, thank you so much for making me feel inspired again! This is what came out of it: please listen and enjoy to Deep & Sexy #31. Love, Alex

PS: A special shout out to my fellow musicians: Andreas, Georg & Little Indian. Thanks for being in my life!

Lovers of Music! Here we go again, this time with a 2,5 hour live set I played at AfrikaBurn earlier this month. Being at AfrikaBurn is always such a highlight of the year for me. Being there with people I love and then playing for a crowd who really likes what I am doing! (Lucky me ;-)) This year I played for the Leopard Mafia on Wednesday and on Thursday for the Space Cowboys. The week before I played at another sold out Suikerbossie in Cape Town (thanks to Caroline/Karen to make that happen again). So I already had a nice warm-up for the South African crowd. I never have expectations before I play somewhere because I always want to go all-in with a blank mind. And so I did on this trip as well. But knowing what the crowd and atmosphere was the years before I always feel very excited to bring some nice pieces of music with me. Please listen yourself what happened during this sunset set. After ‘Follow The Sun’ we went into nighttime mode and although the temperature dropped my heart was heated by the love and happy faces I saw in front of me. Hasta La Vista and till next time! Love, Alex

A new year, a new decade. For me, I felt a strong desire for cleaning, cleaning my studio, cleaning my travelbag which I use soooo often and is with me more than half of the year. Cleaning my kitchen, getting rid of the toxic, non PFOA-free frying pan. A new start of a cleaner me. Being closer to purity. And it feels good, very good. I don’t need a lot of material, the material I want is my studio gear, a nice mattress to sleep on and nice healthy cooking gear with natural produce and ingredients. And so there is less distraction around me so I can focus in a more clean way on music and spending time with my loved ones. With that in mind I made this new podcast. Enjoy the ride and hope to see you somewhere on this planet in 2020 or another time this decade. Smile and be kind, love and feel loved, sounds to me as a good start of every day.

Hello everyone……yes, these days are very uncertain,  very unknown. A virus which is spreading all over the world and causing so much damage and fear. A modern war in 2020……who could have expected this, exactly…..not many. That reminds me of life in general. This virus shows us again that planning our lives is almost impossible. We don’t have control of everything so therefore can’t predict any outcome of our plans. All we can do is love and live with our full intention and live our lives from our heart and hopefully being very passionate about our mission. We all have our missions in life, one has a bigger impact to the world than others but we all have our roles which are all very important. We all can make changes. We need to be present today because we don’t have a clue what will happen in the next few days, weeks, months. Not to ourselves and not to our loved ones or any other people on this planet. So this is also a time for new opportunities for many. Don’t we want to do what we love, just follow your heart, intuition, listen to what’s inside. Isn’t that what really matters? Let’s be grateful for what we have and for all the people who are fighting for other peoples lives, not only these days but year round. They are our heroes!  We can be our own heroes by fully listening to our core, then we can be proud of who we are. Be intentional and honest to yourself and follow that. And most of all be kind, be loving, be helpful to people who need it most. Do you have an older neighbour or friend or family member who is too afraid to go outside to do grocery shopping? Please help them, buy their groceries or cook them a meal, show them some love and kindness and don’t forget to smile. I know, it’s not always easy but it can make a difference to yourself and the ones around you. Give yourself and others some real love. Thank you.

Hello everyone! What a tornado we are all in this year. There is quite something going on in the world and BLM and Covid-19 affect more people compared to any other event over the last few years. There are still disasters going on everywhere on this planet where many people don’t even know about. From being homeless to losing your beloved one(s), being a refugee child or having a flooding which makes your house being under water. From a bushfire to so much plastic in the ocean (and thus: our bodies if we consume seafood). Talking about BLM…..I am white and I feel ashamed for myself and my ancestors who have been part of history and the present time where people of colour were and are treated differently. I genuinely hope that we all can make a change. Underneath our colour is a human of flesh, blood, a heart, senses and two ears. So without making this too much of a political talk. Let’s try to create a change, all of us, to make society more equal to all. And coming back to your senses and two ears….please have a listen to my new podcast. This podcast is  definitely a memorable one for me cause although I am still very privileged, I find it hard to see so much pain and inequality going on in the world. Be strong, share love with each other and be respectful. It will help us all. Love, Alex

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you! This year has been a rollercoaster for all of us on this planet. For me personally it meant a lot of heavy weight on my shoulders whenever the pandemic hit us and many different kind of emotions during all the stages throughout the year. So many people have lost loved ones, lost their jobs, homes and (decent) food. All I can do is try to be there for my friends, my family and my fans. I bet many of you want to do so much more but all we can do has a limit. But all the little things help so please keep on being there for your loved ones, that stranger on the street and the human being with the same red blood but different skin colour. We are all in this together, now and always. And please look and feel the sun when you have a hard moment. The sun is very powerful and energetic, let it warm you when you feel (mentally or physically) cold. I hope this podcast brings you some sunshine as well! And for 2021: all the best and let us dance together again. Let our vibrations come together and create that united feel. Much love, Alex
