Euphoric trance delights and proggy house tunes by Love On The Rocks member Alex Kassian. Carrying a firm nod to the early trance and dream house heydays, the Berlin local just clocked in two seriously good releases on Paramida’s label. Doing 90s-inspired, contemporary music the right way. We love to see it. With new material in the pipeline, waiting to be released on Pinchy & Friends, and a new record coming up on his Planet Sundae label, we caught up to hear the latest on developments.

Mix Series 038 - FEAR-E

Happy to welcome to the second episode of the show a talented dj and producer and also label friend , Reznik.


BIO:

It was pretty much at the end of the last century when Reznik dragged his record boxes into a night club for the first time. He was living in Leipzig at the time. Leipzig was and is a city with a vibrant and elaborate underground scene for electronic music. Big impact on this guys mindset!
It was in 2009, a couple years after relocating to Berlin, when he teamed up with Adam Port, &ME, Rampa, Monja Gentschow and former member David Mayer and the whole Keinemusik story unfolded. At some point, he took care of the KM labelmanagement for a couple of years.
In 2019 he started a collaborative project with his old companion Good Guy Mikesh with key releases on Keinemusik, Permanent Vacation, Razor-N-Tape or 2MR. He strives for DJ sets that draw on groove and on soul (not necessarily the musical genre, but the spiritual entity) and go wherever they need to go. Be it the route of (Indie)Disco and Synthwave or the New York- and Chicago-informed contemporary House course. Main thing here is that it moves you.

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.

Happy to have on board this fantastic mix for Greek Duo "Boys' Shorts"


bio:
Boys' Shorts are a Greek dj/production duo, consisting of Vangelis (formerly of LAGASTA) and electronic recording artist Tareq.

Their sound is a blend of everything they love to mix in their DJ sets - from House to slow techno and from disco to acid. To quote the boys “We make people dance!”
They’ve released on labels HE.SHE.THEY, Cormac’s Polari Records, Permanent Vacation, Future Disco, Iptamenos Discos and Love Child.

They’ve also delivered remixes for Alison Goldfrapp, Yuksek w/ Polo & Pan, Kasper Bjorke, Boy George, Local Suicide w/ Lena Platonos, Daddy Squad w/ Zoot Woman, Casey Spooner (Fischerspooner), Mala Ika, and Kito Jempere ft. Wolfram, to name a few.

Their track “New Era” reached No1 on both Beatport and the Juno Download chart, as well as being hot listed on Germany’s Radio Eins, and their track "Fantastic" received support from BBC Radio 1.

The last couple of years has seen them tour around Europe, playing in world renowned venues such Berghain/Panorama bar and London’s E1, while also bringing their unique sound to festivals like"Lost Village" and WECANDANCE. Building on their success the boys have also enjoyed playing at New York’s Le Bain, Good Room, and House of YES, as well as opening for Hot Chip’s concert at the Knockdown Center.

Robert Johnson Takeover: Paramida 3rd February 2018

For Trushmix 123 we are very happy to have SVN back in the mix. Finally a new mix is recorded, and showcases the clubby and housey side of this unique talent.
Always busy recording new productions with or without partners in the now legendary Neues Deutschland studio, and always keeping a consistent flow of high sought after quality records on his and SW's label SUED. And playing live as Dresvn with good friend and partner Dresen.

Now it's time to highlight the DJ side of SVN. This mix shows SVN as a highly talented DJ with excellent track selection.  Over one hour of pure atmospheric vintage sounding house and electronic club tracks of the highest quality. Smoothly mixed and performed in the subtle, deep way, that we know from SVN productions.
This mix shows that SVN should be playing in clubs around the world and spreading the good vibes with style.

Enjoy this mix for real!

2018-04-01 Live At Inner Varnika, Closing Set

As the year winds to long overdue a halt, we called on local Berlin DJ, Love On The Rocks favourite and all round class act @alexkassian to supply us with one of his finest blends, rewinding to the dawning age of early morning trance hypnotics and big outdoor breaks with splashes of dream house for the tired minds.

We linked up via the Internet to speak about Alex' latest musical endeavours, touching base on the @opalsunn collab and @planetsundae label he shares with likeminded studio head @hiroakioba.
