Euphoric trance delights and proggy house tunes by Love On The Rocks member Alex Kassian. Carrying a firm nod to the early trance and dream house heydays, the Berlin local just clocked in two seriously good releases on Paramida’s label. Doing 90s-inspired, contemporary music the right way. We love to see it. With new material in the pipeline, waiting to be released on Pinchy & Friends, and a new record coming up on his Planet Sundae label, we caught up to hear the latest on developments.

Interview

Oddysee 024 | 'When We Dance Again' by Alex Kassian

thank you @sustain-release-nyc

CCL (@ccl-url) has many tricks and plenty of surprises up their sleeve. London-born, US-bred but now Berlin-based, they are playful in what they play but serious about how they play it, whether that's head spinning 160bpm cut, "cowgirl-breaks or wiggle steppers." The key for this multidisciplinary artist and former New Forms festival curator is to find the similarities and differences between shades of sound and rhythm and exploit them to spellbinding effect. As a producer, they are no different and have always managed to find fresh in-between sounds on labels like Fever AM and Discwoman. 

The singular DJ steps up this week with almost two hours of pure sonic adventure. It's a perfect showcase of how they can soundtrack imaginary worlds from humid future jungles to robot dances in the sky. You'll hear rhythms you could never imagine and contort your body in impossible ways, all while admiring the dexterity of the DJ who has threaded together such a trippy trip.

Campout Mix Series: CCL

My set closing out Room 2 on the Saturday night of Freerotation 2024.

Pariah @ Freerotation 2024, Baskerville Hall, UK (06/07/24)

Words by Ceci (@ccl-url): 

"Special thanks to Steevio & Suzybee & all the volunteers, workers & dancers 💙

This is my recording from Friday night Room 2, 12:30-2am, my first time being at the mythical Free Rotation. Playing one of the first sets & seeing the room, decor and the big bad subs of Room 2, years of fantastical lore and reality melded, I wanted to keep it sexy, wonky, trippy— imagining a psychic electric swamp and how one would levitate thru it... to the sky. No bpm trickery this time. Out to the heavenly bodies of the universe! ;)

A New Wave mix from jungle pioneer, hip-hop cult figure and dancefloor alchemist, Ayman Rostom aka 
@maghreban Doctor Zygote and Strange U. under his new alias Mystery Tiime...

With latest album, 'Maudlin Tales of Grief and Love, ' he examines lo-fi dance, post-punk, and new wave.

With all that hyperbole in mind we asked him to put together a New Wave mix, recorded with the same spirit of experimentation for the album...

For Trushmix 123 we are very happy to have SVN back in the mix. Finally a new mix is recorded, and showcases the clubby and housey side of this unique talent.
Always busy recording new productions with or without partners in the now legendary Neues Deutschland studio, and always keeping a consistent flow of high sought after quality records on his and SW's label SUED. And playing live as Dresvn with good friend and partner Dresen.

Now it's time to highlight the DJ side of SVN. This mix shows SVN as a highly talented DJ with excellent track selection.  Over one hour of pure atmospheric vintage sounding house and electronic club tracks of the highest quality. Smoothly mixed and performed in the subtle, deep way, that we know from SVN productions.
This mix shows that SVN should be playing in clubs around the world and spreading the good vibes with style.

Enjoy this mix for real!

2018-04-01 Live At Inner Varnika, Closing Set

As the year winds to long overdue a halt, we called on local Berlin DJ, Love On The Rocks favourite and all round class act @alexkassian to supply us with one of his finest blends, rewinding to the dawning age of early morning trance hypnotics and big outdoor breaks with splashes of dream house for the tired minds.

We linked up via the Internet to speak about Alex' latest musical endeavours, touching base on the @opalsunn collab and @planetsundae label he shares with likeminded studio head @hiroakioba.
