Hi Alex, how are you?
Doing great! Loving 2025 so far.
Your next project, Dream Sequence: The Remixes, is out soon. Can you give us a glimpse into what listeners can expect from the upcoming album?
The project coming up is where 10 awesome producers are remixing my Dream Sequence album. They’ve each put their own spin on a track, which is super exciting.
Since the release of the original album, Dream Sequence, last year, how has your journey evolved? What opportunities has the album opened up for you?
The most significant development in this process was collaborating with various teams and organizations to realize the overall vision. I’ve gained a much deeper understanding of the music industry’s inner workings and I’m extremely proud and grateful to still be working with these same people today.
Can you share what inspired you to revisit the project with a remix album?
I always planned to release remixes for the album, but I didn’t anticipate them being this incredible.
How would you describe the energy of this upcoming album?
This release throws a bunch of genres into a blender, so it’s tough to put a simple label on it. You’ll hear bits and pieces of all sorts of music, but really, it’s all about that dance floor vibe. Think thumping beats, high energy, and catchy tunes – definitely made for getting people moving in a club.
How do you feel the remixes bring a new perspective to the original tracks? Are there any that particularly surprised you?
I think each remix pleasantly surprised me. I was a huge fan of RJ Pickens’ take on ‘Imagine’ and Terry Golden’s version of my wife’s vocals on ‘Nocturne’. I love how different Cofresi’s version of ‘Dream Sequence’ was, and I always have a special place in my heart for drum and Bass, which Mattheo delivered with ‘Visions’. John Lynx and Xeibo definitely hit the spot with the melodic vibes and both Iváno and Arvi have delivered solid dancefloor groove versions. I think the remix by Side Project of ‘Time Stops’ probably surprised me the most out of all of them, it just, kind of, hit differently.
Each perspective is very unique and different, and I am extremely pleased with the overall collection.
Did you discover anything new about your own music while hearing it reworked by other artists?
It was really cool to see some artists emphasize elements that weren’t as prominent in the original tracks and bring them to the forefront. Hearing the artist’s unique interpretation was a really great experience.
Your signature sound is primarily rooted in Progressive House—would you say this remix album has influenced your creative vision moving forward? If so, how is this being reflected in your current projects?
While I still love the sounds of Tech House and Minimal that Chicago is known for, this album solidified my love for certain production styles and music and my signature sound is evolving to include Afro House and Progressive elements.
Finally, what do you hope fans will take away from Dream Sequence: The Remixes?
My hope for these remixes, much like the original album, is that they enable the listener to escape into a dreamlike state, where their imagination can freely explore and interpret their desires.
As he prepares to deliver yet more unique music to his listeners, Alex Kislov ensures his trajectory continues its upward rise within Electronic Music, gearing up to present another album that speaks to the innovative and forward-thinking approach that roots his creativity. Through our conversation, his reflections on the inspiration drawn from collaborators and the evolving influences shaping his sound make it clear that this release marks an exciting chapter in his artistic journey, with anticipation continuing to build ahead of the album’s arrival.
