ALEX KASSIAN
Alex Kassian is a Kyoto-born, Berlin-based producer, DJ, and artist whose work moves seamlessly between club music, live performance, and cinematic composition. His sound is expansive and melodic, with a strong sense of atmosphere and movement rooted in his early years composing for contemporary dance and theatre. That foundation continues to inform his approach today, whether creating music for the dance floor, scoring for film, or exploring guitar-based compositions.
As a solo artist, Kassian has released on labels including Love On The Rocks, Utopia, Test Pressing, and Pinchy & Friends. His breakout track Leave Your Life became a widely celebrated underground anthem, while his reimaginings of classics such as E2-E4 and Tangerine Dream's iconic Love On A Real Train from Risky Business have demonstrated his ability to balance innovation with deep respect for musical history. With each release, Kassian pushes a sound that’s warm, melodic, and undeniably personal.
This same sensibility carries through to his DJ sets and live performances, where precision and spontaneity converge. His selections are known for their depth and emotional range, equally suited to moments of collective energy or quiet reflection.
Whether solo or collaboratively with Hiroaki Oba as Opal Sunn, Kassian’s work reflects a constant curiosity about how sound can shift mood and perspective. Rather than aiming for a single style or outcome, he treats each project as a chance to explore how music can create space, shape energy, and leave a lasting impact on the listener. Whether behind the decks, in the studio, or on stage, Kassian continues to refine a sound that resonates on dance floors and beyond.
