Chicago’s electronic music scene has long been a hotbed for innovation and few artists embody its spirit quite like Alex Kislov. A DJ and producer who serves up deep house, progressive and tech house into an immersive audio output, he crafts music that reaches for something more emotional and more enduring that the standard club offering. With a sharp ear for groove and a producer’s instinct for texture, his tracks hit that sweet spot between euphoric energy and melodic finesse.
Since launching his project, he’s gone from strength to strength with each move in the electronic music sphere, earning the respect of fans and tastemakers alike. His work spans continents, with performances lighting up major festivals and industry hotspots from Electric Forest and Lollapalooza to Amsterdam Dance Event and Miami Music Week. But while his live sets are magnetic in their own right, there’s something particularly compelling about his studio work.
Each release feels like a self-contained world—detailed, deliberate and emotionally impactful all at once. With past releases on acclaimed imprints like Sirup, Pyro, Blanco y Negro, and Dancewood, along with the independent success of his Dream Sequence album, Alex Kislov has already offered an incredible musical universe. But “Touch Your Soul” signals that he’s only just getting started. Now, he returns with his latest release titled “Touch Your Soul,” a brand new progressive house single released via the ELIXIR WHITE Recordings imprint.
True to its name, the track is a deeply felt dancefloor journey, cut with Alex Kislov’s hallmarks of pulsating beats, shimmering synths and an ever-shifting sonic architecture. From start to finish, “Touch Your Soul” delivers a hypnotic momentum via shuffled percussion which sets the pace while expressive melodic lines begin to unfold, drawing the listener in. As the track progresses, his knack for sound design truly shines; piano chords surface in the breakdown, lending an emotional weight that contrasts with the track’s rhythmic drive.
Filtered layers and a swelling low-end push the energy forward, while slick vocal hooks add a human touch amid the electronic textures. It’s a stunning display of progression, not just in genre but in context with a track that builds, releases and keeps on developing throughout. “Touch Your Soul” lays down a thrilling distillation of Kislov’s artistic vision, as someone whose creative interests extend beyond DJing into music videos, livestreams and storytelling, he approaches production with a cinematic mindset.
Each track becomes a chapter, each sound carefully selected not just for impact but for meaning. It’s this multidimensional approach that continues to win him new listeners around the world. As Alex Kislov looks ahead to more releases and live shows, his focus remains steadfast and for fans of forward-thinking house music with heart, Alex Kislov is one name worth keeping on your radar.
