@opalsunn's return to Nick Höppner's Touch From A Distance is sort of a recap of 2019 - a year that proved pretty incredible for the duo of Alex Kassian and Oba Hiroaki. Their live show took them quite literally all over the world including Tokyo, Valencia, Ho-Chi-Minh-City, Hanoi, Fusion Festival, England's beloved Field Maneuvers and last but not least: Panorama Bar in Berlin, where they performed twice in 2019  as part of the Touch From A Distance labelnights.
Their „Laika EP“ has been largely inspired by their first Panaroma-Bar-performance in january last year, which they - unassuming, yet assertive - took by storm. Eight months later their show in the Laika tent at the UK's best kept festival secret Field Maneuvers marked a second highlight in Opal Sunn's calendar. As a tribute, Opal Sunn have called the opening track to this record „Laika“.
Their second ep for Touch From A Distance is picking things up, where their debut left off, meaning Opal Sunn's sound design is as pristine as a mountain spring and their arrangements are as tight and effective as ever. Having played numerous gigs in the meantime, there seems to be a new focus, though. All four tracks feel much more centered and balanced, aiming quite effortlessly at  a heaving dancefloor.
„Laika“, the ep's lead track, sees Opal Sunn at their most effective and peak time. A long build up and a rolling 303 bassline make for a total sureshot of a track.
On „Minority State“, the duo let's their Electro inclinations run free, fusing razor sharp beats with icy melodies and abstract sound effects.
On the b-side, „Holy Mountain“ is essential Opal Sunn: Glistening arpeggios, gliding melodies and floating beats create a psychedelic atmosphere predestined to lose yourself in.
The ep ends with „Tangerine Blues“, an equally atmospheric and trance-y  track embedded in a rather broken beat, going for a more cinematic vibe.

A1. Opal Sunn - Laika

With an expansive arsenal of skills that range from interviews and article writing, DJ performances, organization and hosting of nightclub events and parties, all the way to her work and contribution to several key techno collectives in Melbourne – Sundelin remains one of the busiest and most expressive creative tour-de-force's to appear within the city's electronic music scene in the last few years. 

Sundelin is the alias of Sandra Sundelin, a Swedish-born, Melbourne-based electronic artist, writer, event host, and DJ, whose stylistic focus lies within the genres of heavily groovy techno, tech house, and minimal. Over the course of her incredibly active and distinguished DJ career, she has managed to grow and evolve her soulful yet tough musical style into one that is replete with chugging and pulsating basslines, dark and heavy tech influences, infectious shifting rhythms, and upbeat fun melodies.

I am connected with music from the youngest years, my consciousness and subconsciousness and superconsciousness pushed me in the same direction all the time. Never full-time, always in my spare time and heavily hobbistically. With longer breaks and returns. Time was slowly moving forward and the taste for exceptional sounds was developing with every minute of listening or creating my beats and loops. A few years ago I got a proposal to release some of my tracks, which today you can find on Beatport and of course Spotify. It was a very positive experience, after so many years without professional approach and work, such a big turn in my hobby.

I'm slowly approaching 40, someone will say that half of my life is behind me, I insist that at least 1/3. I want to learn how to create music that heals not only the soul, but also the body directly. We live in incredible times, science slowly reveals what was hidden from us. Already today we know frequencies that can reverse cancer cells. The revolution is just around the corner. People will go to concerts to heal themselves, listen to recordings to improve the dynamics of the body or cure certain viruses. This is my goal, I hope that there will be good souls to help me in this by giving me faith and support in what I do and will do in the future.
