Alessio Cristiano - Eden EP
Release Date: 19 09 2025
Catalog: RRR.000.035

Alessio Cristiano debuts on Surrrealism with his new EP called Eden. A demonstration of all his fantastic qualities that have raised him to be a producer with excellent recognition in the electronic scene.

‘Border’ has rougher and more devastating intentions. Its atmospheres introduce you to a dark and gloomy soundscape. With seriousness in its elements, faithful to a style away from lights and confetti.

The artwork conveys a sense of inner journey into a surreal world where reality and dreams intertwine. Its intense colors evoke energy, psychedelia, and a mix of wonder and unease. The presence of eyes and disproportionate elements creates an atmosphere of vigilance and mystery, while the fusion of nature and technology suggests a balance between the organic and the artificial. The solitary figure at the center reinforces the idea of spiritual quest and personal exploration within a chaotic yet hypnotic environment. It is an invitation to immerse oneself in an alternative and deeply emotional version of “Eden.”

Alessio Cristiano - Border (Original Mix) [SURRREALISM]

I sure hope you enjoy my second set from Camp Dayfunk 2025 as much as I enjoyed playing it!   If you do, please give it a like and consider re-posting it on Soundcloud - it just takes a second and is the most helpful way to share cool music to new people!

Camp Dayfunk is a Minneapolis-based campout in just its second year, taking place 2 hours East in the Wisconsin Woods - and I enjoyed its quality, intimacy, and cute little camp touches immensely.  Both this event and this set are very special to me <3

Before anything, let's talk about the Mix Cover.  I got great pictures from my first set and none from this 2nd, and it's fine.  Because I got something better than a picture - I got a Danceflooor Badge!  

It was one of the greatest honors of my DJ career to earn one of only 8 Dance Floor badges given out at this event  - not for my 4 hours of playing music where I dance some but maintain focus on the mixing - but for my many more hours of representation on the dancefloor as a dancer, which is where this all started for me... and honestly has stayed.  

I fricken love dancing and absolutely think it makes me a better DJ to study and appreciate music from both sides of the decks. I don't dance to everything and also want to give props where props are due - the music at this event was rock solid, and receiving the dance badge has as much to do with the quality of the other DJs playing as it does my dance stamina.  Fun fact, the most I ever danced was at @mingameslaby in Japan in 2007 ;)

Okay, about the music and vision for this set!  My first set at the event, the night before, was previously posted to the event's Soundcloud (@user-467880110) and I had a full dancefloor and lots of energy coming back at me - a Dj's dream.

This, my second set, Saturday 4-6pm, was a bit different.  It's daytime, there's a beach, and @djdanmusic, @Dj-Mes, and Mazi aka @audiosoulproject are playing B2B2B on that stage.  Right at the same time as my set at the Pavilion stage!  First thing that comes to my mind after I realize they are simultaneous - wtf am I going to do?

Contrast is the answer.  If people want it funky, they're gonna want to be down at the other stage.  I mean I wanted to be there too lol.  And who the heck wants the 2 stages to sound the same anyway, that's silly.  So I leaned into this contrast theme for my set.  Someone told me that I may have confused people a little lol.  I said 'good!'  

I'm really glad I had the opportunity to play the night before, because that was my more funky set - though my interpretation is a bit different from most.  I also won some hearts there, which created more interest than there would have been I think.

So anyway, this set was a challenge - a friendly challenge to myself to play a 2 hour set that was a bit out of the box without losing people, that would serve as a worthy contrast to that devastating funk of Dan, Mes and Mazi.  
 
I would guess overall people there probably liked my first set a tad more - but for me this one was hands-down the winner.  Partly because it was a full 2 hours of new music. Partly because my cup was already full since  I had nailed my set the night before and even got extended an extra hour -  the best hour.  And partly because I had experienced some challenge locking the XDJ the night before, but was effortlessly near flawless on Saturday. I felt zero pressure to do anything but be myself, and play what I felt at that time <3

In general, I favor very full tracks that envelope you with sound.  Besides contrast, the theme for this set is laid back and expansive.  There's funkiness, sure, there are some peaks and valleys energetically, but not at all like the night set.  Overall, it's a smooth ride through deep house with some vocals, minimal house and even a touch of techno, all  around 124bpm. 

Thanks for reading to the end!  I Hope you enjoy the music, and perhaps this background too!

It's been a few years since the last time British duo Audiojack turned up the temperature in the Dirtybird Radio studio, but with a hot new release out on Dirtybird Records called "Rumors" the boys prove to be in top form with a guest mix that features some new tracks as well as a few current favorites.

I've been sitting on this recording for months now because this night was almost too magical to put into the interwebs. This is my 1.5hr opening set for @tycho at Public Works SF back in April '25. 

so here we are, uh ...many...months...later... ;) 

thank you to the public works family for having me back out – i love warming up a dancefloor as an opening DJ to set the tone, & continuing to learn the art of ~opening for artists that have wildly impacted your own creative path~. 

deep melodic housey tunes from my crates: a mix of new and old favs. enjoy the sonic grooves ~

Mafia Mike & Kubinowski are back on SpekuLLa Records! After their strong debut on Culture Tone Recordings with the "Earth EP" and a successful release on Deepalma Records, the duo teams up once again to deliver a stunning new take on a timeless classic.

This time they reinterpret cover of Crystal Waters' iconic house anthem "Gypsy Woman" with a fresh and modern twist. Mafia Mike known for his long-standing production craft, brings in catchy keys and soulful organ hooks, while together they blend afro grooves, deep atmospheres, and techy textures.

The result? A powerful and refreshing version that pays respect to the original while making it ready for today's dancefloors.

Meet Patricio, the musical ninja who's been spinning tunes since the days when Walkmans were cool and mixtapes were currency.  Hailing from Buenos Aires, his passionate love affair for beats started in '92 and hasn't slowed down since. His music isn't just a genre—it's a rollercoaster of sound: deep, driving, fun, and fueled with the energy to make your soul dance out of your body.

Patricio's sets? They're like marathons, they can outlast an eight-hour workday.                                                                                    As the sonic architect at the JUNKYARD STAGE @ THE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE FESTIVAL, he creates vibes so good, they're magnetic with a magical atmosphere.  You go there to meet friends for a beer and end up lost in rhythm for hours.

Teaming up with his partner in crime, Shawni, they birthed THE SPACE IN BETWEEN, a city soirée that's a slice of The Junkyard stage heaven, championing local talent while making you groove and using sound not only as a movement catalyst but as a healing tool.

This musical maestro not only has been rocking the west coast and beyond, hitting up festivals like Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Symbiosis, LIB and more but he's notorious for dropping puns so 'bad,' they're legendary. If there's an underground party in L.A., you bet Patricio's turning it into a dance frenzy. And when he's not making you move on the dance floor, he's cooking up studio beats that'll have your feet begging for mercy."Trust me, It’s science!!
