Chicago-based DJ and producer Alex Kislov continues to build a distinctive legacy in the electronic music space, crafting an immersive, groove-laced sound that fluidly draws from deep house, progressive and tech house. Known for his emotive style and future-facing approach to production, he’s as comfortable lighting up a packed dance floor as he is distilling his sound into studio releases.
With an artistic philosophy grounded in connection and storytelling, his work spans not just audio, but full sensory experiences, underscored by cinematic music videos, live streams and curated performances that reflect a deep passion for the culture. Having already performed on iconic stages from Electric Forest to Lollapalooza and made appearances at events like Miami Music Week and Amsterdam Dance Event, Alex Kislov’s name has become increasingly synonymous with high-energy, emotionally rich sets.
With releases on respected labels like Sirup, Pyro, Blanco y Negro and Dancewood, Alex has steadily built up a catalogue that reflects a thoughtful approach to music-making. His 2024 album Dream Sequence showcased this depth, an ambitious, layered project that bridged melodic vibes with club-ready energy. Now, in 2025, he’s taking it further with Dream Sequence: The Remixes, a reimagined version of the original project featuring a diverse lineup of producers including Terry Golden, COFRESI, and John Lynx. The remix collection doesn’t just add new elements; it reinforces Alex Kislov’s mission of artistic collaboration and sonic exploration.
This month, that progression is set to be put on full display once again with a special showcase for Record Store Day. Taking place this Friday, April 11th at Chicago’s own Miyagi Records, a haven for vinyl culture and independent sound, Alex is set to deliver a one-off DJ performance steeped in the spirit of discovery. The event will feature exclusive giveaways, rare cuts from his discography and a chance to hear his genre-blurring vision in an intimate setting. It’s a natural next step for an artist whose work celebrates both the physical and digital dimensions of music.
What makes this particular event so exciting is its grounding in community; Record Store Day has always been about more than just the wax, it’s a celebration of independent artistic output, grassroots connection and the magic of music shared in real time. Alex Kislov’s set promises not just technical skill but real emotional impact, offering something for everyone from seasoned crate diggers to curious newcomers.
As his sonic journey continues to unfold, Alex Kislov proves that dance music doesn’t have to choose between depth and energy, emotion and innovation. Whether through his carefully curated sets or collaborative remix projects, his work reflects a balance that’s increasingly rare: one that values both the dance floor and the deeper listening experience. With each release and performance, Alex Kislov reaffirms his place as one of electronic music’s most forward-thinking talents, based in the now, but always looking ahead.
