RE RENAISSANCE BITCH

The Ride Committee ft. Roxy - Love To Do It (Danny Tenaglia Loves To Do It)

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.

MARICAS in Residency - Roza Terenzi #2

Echoes hum, bodies moving.
This is true spirit of Breakfast Club, unfolding.


Ogazón: "This set felt like a homecoming — warm, familiar, and charged with energy. The familiar faces and unwavering support are something I don’t experience anywhere else, and that drives me to perform at my absolute best. But the real magic? Locking into an effortless groove from the very start while playing alongside a legend like Marcel. That was the cherry on top: a true highlight I won’t be forgetting anytime soon."

Marcel Dettmann: "Playing at Breakfast Club in the early morning is always a unique experience — the people there are musically open, ready for experimentation, and come with a certain expectation: they want to be taken on a journey. What made this set special was the combination of Ogazón and me. I think we had a great feel for the moment, for the groove and the tension. The energy was electrifying."

C12 w/ Marie Montexier @ Kiosk Radio 26.04.2025

I remember dancing for hours and hours at the Sleepless Floor in the summer of 2010. A dancefloor that, as the names says, never stops. It was the first time I heard house music the right way and I also remember hearing ‘Music Is The Answer’ by Danny Tenaglia and saying to my friend Boris: “I think it got me, the virus, it got me.” I wasn’t wrong. House music gave me so much in the years after and in a way it also saved me. Those early years were at times lonely and dark. Going out back then was confusing, when the only people that looked like me in clubs were security guards or the cleaning staff. It was supposed to be about freedom and togetherness right, but where was everyone? Luckily that darkness gave room to light and I found my people (and I keep finding them!) and I held on to house music, it was an embrace for eternity and it became the center of my work. I could channel my emotions through it and it never left, it became my home. So that’s why I decided to start this mix series. House Is Where The Heart Is. A series that will probably go on forever if it’s up to me. For the music that gave me the key to it’s home and and welcomed me in.
