Alex Kassian... IsBurning #89

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.

Love On The Rocks founder and Ostgut Ton artist, PARAMIDA, serves up an hour of blissful sounds that are reminiscent of her residency at Panorama Bar. 

"There is no concept behind this mix. My DJ sets and mixes are always an expression of my emotions. This time I went a bit mental. What you hear is what you get. Happy IWD. The future is ours."

Trackhighlight: 
Smokin’ Beats - Look Who’s Lovin’ Me

This has probably been my record of the year so far. It’s an old record from ‘97 and something that I’ve had in my collection for a long time but it came back into my life at the start of the year when I was looking for some deeper, groovier stuff to play at a gig I was playing. I played it that night and it created such a vibe that I’ve been playing it regularly since then. When I played it at Panorama Bar earlier this year it was a real stand-out moment. I think with the tendency for everyone to play faster and harder music right now this record really stands out with its loose Latin groove and soulful vocals.'
