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.

Michelle emerged from the Uruguayan underground back in 2018. Since then, she's explored the sort of sounds that have made her homeland such a creative hotbed: stripped-back techno, electro and early tech house all collide in her tracks on the likes of My Own Jupiter, CABARET Recordings and, most recently, Element Of Impact. Though designed purely for dancing, they're rich with intriguing textural contrasts between steely metal surfaces, wonky acid lines and sultry synths.

Michelle only plays live, so this week’s mix is a raw, unfiltered one-hour transmission pulled straight from her machines. It’s a rugged ride that grinds through industrial tech, shadowy broken beats and deeper techno. The energy is relentless and the tension is palpable, as if intergalactic warfare lurks just out of sight. The pounding rhythms, strobe-lit grit and sweat-soaked intensity make this a masterclass in pressure and release that's alive, dangerous and keeps you right on the edge.

Dekmantel Mix 495 - Michelle (live)

Let’s talk soundscapes.

A lot of club music ends up shaped by familiar expectations. Uniformed mixes, tidy structures, everything placed exactly where convention would put it.

And sure, that approach works… but it can also get a bit boring.

With Deep In Reflections, we wanted to move away from that and build something more immersive. Something that feels more like a place you step into. Dense synths and layered atmospheres blur together into a kind of drifting, enveloping haze.

At the centre is a single vocal sample pulled from an old TV ad. It cuts through the track like a small, forgotten memory, the one kind of recognisable sound in a world bathed in synths.

Most of the textures, the percussive elements, even the sense of rhythm, comes from atmospheres reshaped and repurposed until they become their own kind of instrumentation.

The result is something meant to surround you as you listen… It’s more about immersion than dance floor energy, a little headphone moment to get lost in.

Enjoy.

Select Cuts 090 : Black Girl / White Girl

The Dutch Thomas Gaarthuis aka Thommie G (@thomas-gaarthuis) was caught by the enchantment of music since the very beginning. Working as a graphic designer for 16 years, it felt natural to step into the world of sound design. Having a big affinity with tribal music, he combines organic sounds and rhythms to his productions, carrying the listener to places beyond their audio system. His sets start out nice and slow, and rise to intense levels, capturing the audience on a trip through carefully selected sounds.

For CasaCaos, Thommie G created a podcast with only private productions. Some have never been heard before, some have been around for some time, and others will be released later this year. This 69th edition is full of energetic fusion jams, polyrhythms, which suddenly goes somewhere fast. Doubtless a good taste authorial work. How long does the flight take? The answer is: one hour and thirty three minutes.
