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.

IM MIX 106: The Hacker (Dj Set at Nitsa Club)

Hi and Welcome to Italo Moderni

Almost weekend and we are releasing a new inspiring mix by the Programmer at Operator radio, event producer, cultural researcher and dj; Krismika is heavily involved both on and off stage in Rotterdam's nightlife. Her sound is heavily influenced by the months she spent in Prague in 2021. She saw here that the sound of Prague's nightlife was a lot darker and gloomier than what she knew from Rotterdam. As a dj her sound yields a broad selection of tunes within the genres of Electro, New Beat, EBM, Wave and Italo. A dark combination destined to get (and keep) you dancing.

Shkema: 

I make weird music for weird people. I tried to copy what I hear in the work of others but I always end up with different music solutions. I thought that was the wrong way till I started focusing on the timbre and it helped me to burst out. I spent ages with the analog synthesizers looking for that right tone color and little by little the music structure came up on its own.

Later I added guitar sound and different solutions of percussion which led me to minimize the digital sound from my work eventually.

My strange and odd voice component came last. I had a certain phrase in my mind that completed the melody perfectly. So I started using my voice to get the right tone color more often, even though I said that I would never be a singer in the past.

I am more of a night person, usually, I find peace in my mind which is a must for music making.

A 4,5 hours long recording, mixed through Jaeger's Alpha Recording System mixer and isolators. 
Even with the natural volume increasement that happens on a club night, from seated audience in the start, to a crowded dance floor.

Enjoy!

At Field Maneuvers 2023, Optimo (Espacio) played the final set in the Sputnik tent as part of the Watching Trees takeover. "We expected everyone to be on their final reserves of energy," they said. "But it was instantly apparent that there was electric energy in the tent. It ended up being one of the most joyous, life-affirming gigs of [the year]."

If Darwin were still around, he’d probably name David Vunk the final form of dance floor evolution. 30+ years in the game, still as fresh as ever and not slowing down. His set at Liberté Liberté 2025? Living proof.

On Primitive Electronic Rhythms, London-based producer Rob Redford dives deep into the soulful lineage of house music, delivering four analog-rich cuts that echo the spirit of Glen Underground, Ron Trent, and the Prescription-era greats. The EP blends spiritual grooves, warm synth work, and hypnotic percussion into a sound that feels both classic and completely fresh.

This is deep house for late-night dancers and inner journeys, raw rhythmic, and emotionally resonant. Rob reminds us that the most powerful rhythms are often the most primitive.

Bård Aasen Lødemel, aka Skatebård, got into techno and rave during the '90s before he became a producer of retro-futuristic disco, house, and techno. 
Hailing from a town called Ørsta on the Norwegian west coast, Lødemel moved to Bergen in the year 2000, where he quickly became part of the town's growing club scene. 
After handing over a homemade demo to Tellé Records label boss Mikal Telle, Lødemel was signed to offshoot label Tellektro in 2001. 
His first release under the name of Skatebård, a concise vinyl-only album called Skateboarding Was a Crime (In 1989), was released in 2002, and slowly but surely Skatebård's reputation started spreading beyond Norway's borders. 
Throughout his impressive career of releasing five albums and more than twenty 12-inches, he has steadily carved out his own corner of dance music with a unique flair. Traversing a range of seemingly disparate genres and emotions comes incredibly naturally to the Norwegian artist, whose music oscillates between Italo disco and raw Detroit infused house and techno. With an enviably eclectic collection of the mastery to navigate it seamlessly, Skatebård’s DJ sets offer exploratory excursions through the unknown and unexpected. From festival mainstages to intimate clubnights, Boiler Rooms and radio shows, Skatebård has captivated audiences across the globe, performing at many of electronic music’s most revered institutions.
The dynamic scope of Skatebård’s artistry extends to his work in the studio. Spanning over two decades, his impressive discography is dispersed across labels including his own Digitalo Enterprises, Sex Tags Mania and Bordello A Parigi. With a knack for balancing kitsch with elegance, Skatebård creates music that exudes an air of nonchalant fun.
