Kyoto-born, Berlin-based DJ, producer and artist, Alex Kassian has become a firm favourite of ours over here at Phonica over the past couple of years. His sophisticated, lush and organic sounding productions have been picked up by labels such as Paramida’s Love On The Rocks and Alex Bradley’s Utopia Records in recent years. His most recent release, Leave Your Life, was released in 2021 via Pinchy & Friends, and we can safely say it was one of our most-played, and bestselling, records of the year.

Together with Hiroaki OBA, Alex is also one-half of Opal Sunn, who have been operating their own imprint Planet Sundae since 2017, through which they self-released a number of EPs, catching the attention of and support from dance music luminaries such as Andrew Weatherall and DJ Sprinkles.

Phonica Mix Series 93: Alex Kassian

Being named a resident at Berghain is likely an unattainable dream for so many DJs, but for Sedef Adasi, it all happened naturally. The Turkish producer grew up in the mid-sized Bavarian city of Augsburg, where a lack of spaces she felt comfortable with—she's mentioned DJing in shoe stores—led her to start her own party, HAMAM Nights. From there she made her name with a vibrant, diverse sound that encompasses breaks, electro, techno and more, with soft-focus melodies and plenty of vocal hooks. She's one of the first residents at the legendary club to truly reflect the glorious cross-pollination of dance music styles in the '10s, when techno absorbed ideas from dubstep, garage and more. 

Adasi represents both floors of that club, and you could imagine this RA Podcast going down in either room, but of course, she exists outside that club's narrative too. What you'll hear here is a cutting-edge and dynamic blend of electro and Latin techno—with two tracks from 2022 MVP Nick León—mixed with grace and finesse. Her sound is immediately approachable, well-paced and full of catchy moments and breakdowns. Listen and find out.

Multisexual Mix #19 Bennet

ISAbella - BFC ADE 2024: RADION Saturday

@bennet_bb
This week's mix is from Bennet. With a unique selection through the spectrum of house he carefully approaches his sets with a deep sensitivity and groove-driven peaks. 

Bennet lets the amazing records breathe and create their own highlights. A spring morning where the windows hug the rising sun and the smoke creates suprising patterns.

Track Highlight
One track that stands out for me is ‘Inda’ by Comodo, an alias of Marco Carola. It’s a driving house tool that brings a celestial note to the dancefloor, but over and over subtly explodes in with its driving baseline and always transforms it into a naughty affair.

The Sustain-Release co-founder steps up to the Phonica mix just ahead of the acclaimed festival’s 11th year. 
New York has an iconic history when it comes to club music, and over the years has seen many great names emerge from its underground scene. In modern times, Aurora Halal is undoubtedly one of those names. 
Aurora has become a staple at forward-thinking institutions like Berghain, De School, and her home base, Nowadays, where she holds a residency. Alongside her international touring, she’s carved out her own vital space through the long-running Mutual Dreaming parties and Sustain-Release, the DIY-rooted festival she co-founded, which continues to push boundaries as it enters its second decade.
Her Phonica mix offers a vivid snapshot of her deep, intuitive approach to DJing—captured live at Mansions, a cozy NYC wine bar turned house party haven. Known for her genre-fluid sets that blend hypnotic techno, house, acid and experimental textures this is the perfect calling card to showcase why she can hold it down with a range of greats like DJ Nobu, Vladimir Ivkovic and more.
We had a chat about the mix with Aurora as well as touching off Sustain and some of her favorite moments at the festival.

Just a few years in, Hannover native Bennet’s been fast rising up the ranks of his peer group with a fresh take on driving rhythms. From Germany to Australia, and over his short career, this new-gen mixer has kept crowds on their toes with sets that blend infectious percussions and unfiltered emotion. Rooted in the pulse of the underground, his sound bridges the warmth of classic grooves with the precision and tension of modern beats. Riffing on endless combinations of vinyl treasures that radiate euphoria, he seams together tracks in blissful lockstep, astutely conjuring up dynamic sets that thoroughly capture the raw intensity of the dancefloor in all its primal energy. So too he delivers his straight-up cuts as part of his residency at Hamburg’s Queerpool. With bookings at parties like London’s Adonis, Berlin’s Multisex, and Haze and Horst in Brussels, Bennet’s painted a broad canvas and honed his dubbed-up beats to perfection; and through a focus on the clubfloor as collective space for unity, joy and liberation, his sound is leaving its mark. Bassiani Podcast 284 is a cutting-edge blend of effervescent jams and peak-time bangers, 100 minutes of soulful house from a breakout talent.
