Alex Kassian

Alex Kassian is a producer, DJ and artist from Kyoto, now based in Berlin, where he
splits his days equally between making music and astral projection.
Alex’s sound is sophisticated and precise (he previously worked on soundtracks for
contemporary dance and theatre); it’s also lush and organic, cinematic and uplifting,
bursting with optimism and energy, informed by spontaneity and improvisation and
specifically designed to promote the kind of out-of-body experiences demanded
by discerning ravers across the universe.
As a solo artist, Alex has released on a number of labels here on Earth including
Paramida’s Love On The Rocks and Alex Bradley’s Utopia Records. Together with
Hiroaki OBA, he is also one half of Opal Sunn, who operate 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.
In 2018 they released their first EP Parallax on Nick Höppner’s label Touch From A
Distance, and in 2019 and early 2020 took their live show on tour around Europe
and Asia, with stops everywhere from Field Manoeuvres festival to The Observatory
in Saigon and Panorama Bar in Berlin. Their second release, Laika, came out on
Touch From A Distance in 2020, shortly followed by Alex’s first solo outing on Love
On The Rocks, Oolong Trance.
