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

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!

My last trip was a tour which brought me to several places all over the world. Playing in Davos, Switzerland. From there flying to an amazing new and fresh festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand and then to these magical group of Islands called Maldives. Playing on one of these islands for a wonderful, exciting group of people was such a special moment. Playing a sunrise set and then finding out at a certain moment, while people kept on dancing and dancing, that the clock hit 10am.....completely lost in time that's how it felt and that's where the inspiration came for this new podcast. Part of this podcast I already played last weekend in New York (Output) and San Francisco (Audio) during my Deep & Sexy Live event with my incredible Live Band. And now it is time for you all to listen to it. I hope you will feel the Island Vibes in it. Enjoy and be present in all you do and see you soon somewhere on this globe. Love! Alex

Good morning music lovers!!! Here is another freshly squeezed podcast for your heart, senses and friends and beloved around you. This podcast is made with spring in my mind. I love 4 seasons but if I have to pick my favourite I think Spring will win. Flowers are opening up again, so many things in nature start growing again, people take off their winter clothes (depending where you live) and doors and windows will be opened to live life to the fullest. And yes, with that in mind I selected some of my faves of this moment. I am so much looking forward to the next coming months. A few releases will find the way to Spotify and all other channels to start with Downtown (Crazy For You). In one month from now you will find it but of course I will let you know when it will exactly happen. For now I wish you all a beautiful time ‘listening and feeling’ this podcast. Please share with me your favourite part! Arrivederci amigos! Love, Alex

AfrikaBurn has a special spot in my heart. The reason why is the people I have met over the last 3 times I was there. There is something about being in an area with no buildings, roads or whatsoever. People build their own 'camps/homes/tent structures' to be able to live out of there for a couple of days to a week. And one very important thing: no cell phone service, no wifi, no tv, no billboards.....instead of that: wind, rain, sand, sun...it's all there. And then there is the people, meeting random people, people you already saw before and just having fun with them, share food, water, music, art structures and/or meaningful conversations. It's all there and brings us in my opinion a little closer to our cores, probably closer to how our ancestors were living. And then....being able to play music for the people who are there.....it feels like a blessing to share that and seeing all these happy faces, dancing and moving bodies. Nothing to worry, just feel and hear the music and enjoy it with the people around you/us......so the inspiration of this podcast brings me back to AfrikaBurn 2018. I am looking forward to be back next year. For now: Enjoy this musical journey! Love, Alex

Lovely people! It has been a while…..silence before the storm that’s what they say then…..because….here is Deep & Sexy #35. 
Why Deep & Sexy? That’s what people every now and then ask me. The answer is as simple as the question. I try to bring you close to your core through touching you deep down there in your heart. What’s better to get there through lovely sexy vibes? 6 years ago I was still only playing in Holland and played often together with an MC (MC Haits) who also travels the world now spreading love through his vocals. He was the one who always came to me and literally kept repeating himself by the words: you play such f**cking Deep & Sexy tunes like Solomun. So a year later when I started my podcast series I already had the name of my podcast series. Next month I will bring you a more energetic/dancy/clubby version of what I do when I play in nightclubs so you also have a feel of what I do when the night is falling and the sun is down. For now, enjoy this podcast from the Rooftop in New York and don’t forget to be present and feel all your senses. Love, Alex

Here we go with Deep & Sexy Podcast #37!!
Last week I was in India for a couple of days and got fully inspired after that. So firstly I created a new podcast and secondly I worked on some new originals, remixes and edits. So yeah, it was a very inspiring trip. I met so many interesting, kind, open hearted and passionate people and that is such a privilege to then play music for them and also build a connection before and after that. A lucky guy I am, I realise that over and over again. At the same time I am on my path of creating and playing music to bring lightness to the world. There is much light and much dark sides on this planet but it is all about perspective. The half empty or half full glass. I try to live it with half of a full glass. Please let me know what you think of this podcast? What is your favourite track and I know I have said it before but #38 will be a Club Mix. So you have an idea what I do in a nightclub when playing live there :-) Enjoy it for now! And cease the day. Much love, Alex

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

Music Lovers! Please find here my Burning Man 2019 podcast! It was already 4 years ago that I attended ‘The Burn’ in Nevada and this year I was very drawn to go back to the Playa to celebrate life and play some sets in the middle of the desert. I had some beautiful serendipitous moments running into people I would never have thought to run into. One special one was that I ran into my Pakistani friend who is a well-known actress and all of a sudden showed up in a very small tipi. I was wearing a hat and goggles so I thought no-one would recognise me……well….I was wrong! It was so wonderful to finally meet her in real life after have been in touch on social media for some years. Another one was to run into my ‘One Golden’ friend for 3 times during the 4 days I was there. Believe me, that is hard on such a big playa with 70.000 people being there. A few other highlights were playing the magical 747 Boeing airplane with many of my friends and my percussion friend Caleb on my side. I played a set for him and his wife Levina right before their wedding and then another remarkable set was at the art car called ‘Smile High’. I played a 3 hour set with all these beautiful people on and off the car in front of that beautiful art piece. It was very special to finally play this set for one of my close friends who runs the art car on the playa…..a gift from him to me to play his amazing art car and a gift from me to him to finally play on his ‘baby’ while being ‘fed’ by my friend Cristo, who is such a humble and talented artist. Well, listen to it yourself and let me know if you like it please? Much 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

Bringing sunshine, light, joy and touching YOU in your heart.....that's what I try to do while releasing podcasts, playing live or when I am in the studio creating new songs & remixes. In this day an age it's a little harder to receive, to see the light (also for me every now and then) but remember that your thoughts influence your feelings and shape your life in many ways. Easier said than done but practising on changing the thoughts can make a change and make you feel differently. This new podcast is to hopefully bring you more light, so throw any of the dark thoughts off of your shoulder and focus on the things you would like to receive, give and achieve in your life. Remember it can be over before you know it so please look at the sun and feel the warmth and light of its arrays. Focus on that and you will already feel different. Enjoy this new podcast and let me know what you think of it below please? :-) Much love! Alex
