Alex Kassian & Daffabedamned

Alex Kassian

A producer, DJ and artist from Kyoto, Alex Kassian is based in Berlin, where he splits his days equally between making music and astral projection. 

In terms of the former, Kassian's sound is sophisticated and precise, having been applied to the intricacies of contemporary dance and theatre. Alongside that exacting nature, however, is a lush and organic sonic atmosphere – cinematic and uplifting, bursting with optimism and energy, informed by spontaneity and improvisation, designed to promote the kind of out-of-body experiences demanded by discerning ravers across the universe. 

Kassian has released music on a number of labels, 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, operating their Planet Sundae imprint since 2017.

In 2018 they released their first EP, Parallax, on Nick Höppner’s label Touch From A Distance, while 2019 and early 2020 saw them tale their live show across Europe and Asia, stopping everywhere from Field Manoeuvres festival to The Observatory in Saigon and Panorama Bar in Berlin.

Having grown up in a musical environment, daffa has
been immersed in a wide range of music since his teen years, making it a natural step to cut his teeth as a DJ in Jakarta’s ever-evolving nightlife scene back in 2014, before even graduating high school.

Now based in Bali, he is a Resident DJ at Potato Head Beach Club and has found common ground with PNNY collective.

Throughout the years his tastes have evolved and widened, evading the constraints of genre. His sets and selections are an appreciation of that musical
fluidity, never shying away to play whatever music he feels right at any moment of the party.
