Italian-born and -raised Massimiliano Pagliara Massi describes his style as an eclectic mix of house and disco. One might call it classic, but with a definitive modern twist.
He has been spinning at some of the most popular underground venues in town and in Germany, such as Club 103, SO36, Week-End, Maria , Cookies, NBI, Tape club, Berghain/Panorama Bar, Schwutz, Tresor, Wilde Renate, About Blank, Paloma bar, Möbel olfe, Robert Johnson (Frankfurt) as well as abroad in France, Italy, Denmark, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, UK, Sweden, Norway, Israel, etc..

On May 3, Massimiliano will be touching down in Amsterdam for a performance at Horizon, the returning event which has a keen eye on upcoming and out of the ordinary DJ/producers. Together with It's A Fine Line (Ivan Smagghe & Tim Paris) & Jennifer Cardini on the line-up, this one promises for another mystical night with beautiful sets that can't be pigeonholed in genre or sound.

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.

Alex Kassian welcomed the first sunrise at Solar Village in 2023, and we can now listen back to his performance. He took Wonderers on a journey that started downtempo and slowly built his set out, marking a new direction for sunrise performances at our beloved venue.

Alex Kassian is a perfect DJ to have at the Sunrise Session with us as he knows howe to bridge the club and the blissed out. A fine set with Djum Djum sounding super good and an 'E2-E4' ending... You can follow Alex HERE on Instagram for more on what he is up to. Tidy.

The Tartan Records boss and equally boss DJ Wallace signs off on his recent stint down under with a mix packed with deep sea dubs and bumping 00s techy rollers. Based in England, and having previously run a string of club nights in Edinburgh, Wallace is a proud tartan enthusiast with a full tank of punchy dubwise grooves in his sporran, with plenty of nods to his UK roots here over a glorious hour and a bit full of chunky d-floor burners. Let's have it!

Q. What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. It’s been a pretty bruising winter back here in the UK but we’d just had our first smattering of sunshine when I came to putting this mix together. I think that shift—the changing seasons and the first signs of trees beginning to bloom in my hometown (as pictured)—definitely influenced the first part of the mix. The middle section leans more into the kind of stuff I’d play out, but I wanted to bring things to a softer landing toward the end. There’s certainly an outdoor feel to the selections so maybe a listening environment to match but equally I love music’s ability to transport us from our current states so bang it on indoors and see what happens.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. There’s a Steve O'Sullivan Dub early on which I recently found & it’s just a gloriously mixed and executed piece of dub techno. Towards the end another recent find by Argentinian producer Federico Molinari which to my ears sounds like a lost 80’s gem but was produced just last year. It's rare to hear a modern producer capture that classic vibe so authentically, without tipping into pastiche.

Q. You were just out here in Australia over the past weekend and from all reports the shows were on point! What kind of directions did you take people in during those sets, and how might the energy of your club sets differ from your mixes? 

A. Yes, so glad to have finally made it out here. Was a real joy to meet some lovely people in your scene and to get the chance to do my thing. Always revel in the challenge of playing in a new country as you’ve got to be on your toes to adapt but stay true to what you’re all about. I truly felt the warm Aussie welcome, so let’s call this mix a little parting gift to tide things over until next time x

Up next on our Phonica Mix Series is the Lecce born and Berlin based Massimiliano Pagliara!

The last time we saw Massi he was playing an in-store event for us here at Phonica and the crowd absolutely loved it! We’ve always been big fans of him here at the shop for his outstanding productions which have landed on labels such as ‘Live At Robert Johnson’ on ‘Rush Hour’ but Massi has been a DJ much longer than he’s been a producer and the vast amount of experience he has acquired playing at some of the best underground spots around the world simply can’t be ignored. Recently he’s also been welcomed into the Ostgut family with a spot on their agency’s roster and things seem to only be getting better. Massi describes his style behind the decks as an eclectic mix of House, Disco, Electro and Techno. His selection always pays homage to the past while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of dance music into the future. He also reflects this ethos in the studio where he experiments with new techniques on old analogue synthesizers. With a background in Dance and Choreography, Massimiliano definitely knows what it takes to get you moving and we couldn’t be happier with the extended and eclectic mix he prepared for us today.
