Could u share the name of this track??? Blows my mind

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

Alex Kassian's exclusive mix for RDC 2023 podcast:

"For my friends at RDC! This mix is rooted in a colourful spectrum of melodies, essentially capturing a sequence of styles I’d play in the club. There are quite a few records from the golden age and a few current favourites, hopefully shining a positive light to elevate your spirits. See you on the dance floor!"

"このミックスは色んなメロディーを織り交ぜていて、僕がクラブでプレイするスタイルを表現しています。往年のクラシックから現在のお気に入りまで、ポジティブな光を放ちながら皆さんの気分が高まることを願っています。RDCのダンスフロアで会いましょう！"

This is Part 2 of my Mystery of the Motherbeat series of DJ mixes. I’ve wanted to record this mix for a long time as a follow-up to my 2018 mix by the same name. Both are a fusion of styles used to build a psychedelic hypnotic soundscape for deep listening and personal synchronization with the heart of Motherbeat. No big hands in the air moments to speak of here, just deep mixing and some of the most beautiful records in my collection.
