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

008 Earl Grey

DJ Earl Grey aka Nik Thorup takes us beyond the dancefloor and into the realm of the cerebral. During his month-long residency at Waxflower, Nik spun a cornucopia of captivating and unique records that always left us hungry for more.

We’re still not sure how Nik managed to intertwine so many polarising genres so effortlessly. Few DJs can stroll from ambient to jazz, from folk to dub, making it sound so organic. Maybe there’s a link to be drawn between this kind of musical curation and some of the more adventurous wine-making processes we’ve come to love at Waxflower. Skin-contact wine often leads to bolder, more intense, and less predictable palates. 

Shady wine-making comparisons aside, it was an honour for us to have Nik play for the whole month. We’ve spent plenty of time listening to his recorded sets, so it was a treat to experience his talent live at Waxflower.

Heeeere weee gooo. A little blast from the past. Starting off with slow and sexy swings and quickly upping the tempo to move ya hamstrings. Raphaël Top Secret played an all too sweet set at Post Bar in February 2019 (when most people woulda laughed at the idea of a pandemic hitting in a year, hah). And it’s all on tape. Hit it.

Neue Welle Mix #4 - mp.ulle

@yamour030 has been gaining a reputation for her versatility as a DJ, serving both techno and house music with equal passion and commitment. As a vinyl purist, she has developed a signature sound that draws from the roots of US techno and house, yet maintaining a contemporary twist that ensures her sets feel both current and timeless.

The Berlin natives‘ deep-seated love and knowledge of music eventually led her to a coveted role at Hard Wax. During her four-year employment, she was able to refine her skills further, honing her ear for quality and sifting through countless records to unearth hidden gems that would later become staples in her sets.

Expect an eclectic mix of captivating tunes that keeps the energy high and the crowd engaged. Whether you’re a techno-head or a house aficionado, Yamour’s sets are not to be missed.

'Spinning Grounds' by @katharina-davids is all about opening grounds for newcomers to spin their music - to explore genres from house, Detroit, dub techno to break beat.

Fabio Fontanelli at Dekmantel Selectors 2023

For the 4th installment of our podcast season, please meet our friend Tiago Marques @tiagomarques, part of the Lisbon scene for more than a decade - he had been part of the notorious Bloop Recordings for years as he also had been for Nugs On Board imprint since 2019.
He plays regulary at the small but highly qualitative club 5A, where we had the chance to go last summer and witness his ability to play great tunes all night long. The night:day after, we also had the chance to play with him at Ministerium for a B4B closing session that is one of our best recent club memories as a collective.
Tiago is the discrete but steady kind of guy: letting the music speak rather than the ego is a motto that could define him (too) briefly. We've been in touch for two years but it feels like we always have been buddies, so when we knew he was preparing a podcast for us, we were all super hyped by the perspective of listening to it, knowing we won't be disappointed. We all agreed after the first hearing: "No surprise, it's really good". So now you turn to enjoy it!
Please press play and enjoy the flawless flow, a tight knit of incredibly sexxi tunes in-between house and techno, making it an instant favorite at BMP headquarters.

Next up for our DJ Directory series in collaboration with https://soundcloud.com/stampthewax is Dutch-Japanese artist https://soundcloud.com/masalo-music who is considered part of the new wave of Amsterdam music creatives. His musical outcomes offer multiple perspectives of his universe, combining a love for soulful dance music with the raw Amsterdam aesthetic. Masalo’s dj sets are proof of this mentality, unearthing unfamiliar sounds and combining them with records that could be seen as modern-day successors. This approach is also translated in his production art. Productions as ‘Testify’, ‘Red Light’ and his remix on Grammy-nominated artist Bassekou Kouyaté’s ‘Jama Ko’, has stirred up the dance music community worldwide. Masalo’s creations are also favoured by Rush Hour Records.

Together with Kamma, Masalo runs the dance party series Brighter Days, a colourful get-together celebrating dance music culture to the fullest. Artists as Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, Hunee, Kuniyuki, Osunlade, Ge-ology and many more have rocked these parties. With class-act performances at clubs such as Contact Tokyo and Djoon Paris and festivals such as Liverpool Disco Festival and Dimensions, Masalo is vastly continuing to inspire dance music culture around the world.

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!

One of the last public live dj mixes in the world for a while.
Recorded @ the quarantined TRIBAL GATHERING 2020, Panama
edited version

I had been always thinking about what would happen if something went wrong at a psychedelic festival and the party was over - now I got the answer:

___The convergence of the tribe___

However, Panama authorities closed hundreds of people in quarantine, they didn’t serve nor food or drink to them.

It was the organisers of the festival who provided all of these even after the end of the official festival. Also, people started to become into volunteers to keep the site nice and clean as possible. 
People tried to stay positive, calm, they helped each other adopting to the given situation. 
Maybe this is the way how it should be done in the aggregate, too.

It has been obvious for long: we need to redefine our connection to the environment. But there are also several other things in which we can mature now. In this special situation everything is momentous and can have great effects. We are witnessing how the old world collapses and it can be painful. 
But it depends on us what will be the new world like.

Straight Outta Quarantine - Live @ Tribal Gathering 2020

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.
