Exploring early 90s progressive sounds and venturing into genre-spanning grooves, @solalexdj, a US native now residing in Berlin, crafts a sound that draws inspiration from the revolutionary spirit of underground raves with a queer-futurist twist. Together with DJ Chichi, Solalex is the creative force behind 'Starseeds' an event series in Berlin set to debut on December 16th at Zur Klappe. 'Starseeds' seamlessly melds cosmic and organic elements within welcoming, queer-friendly spaces, providing an opportunity for people to connect and find healing through the universal language of dance.

'Reflecting on the injustice of war, I began the mix with a few tracks that I first discovered digging Ukrainian techno labels at the time of the invasion. Recorded during the solar eclipse - which coincided with the bombardment of Gaza - the mix begins in darkness and evolves into a hypnotic humanist meditation. Mid-way through, the transformative symbol of the eclipse is represented by hi-NRG progressive with solar references in the track titles. The mix ends with a hopeful dream of another world to be possible. Thank you to Bliss Inc. and the guys at Hâws and space·lab for the unreleased bits'
