Description

Opal Sunn bring together Alex Kassian and Hiroaki Oba for Elastic, the first instalment in a trilogy of releases on Test Pressing Recordings. Following the success of Kassian’s celebrated rework of “E2–E4”, the duo deliver a three-track journey through hypnotic electronic rhythms, deep trance-inspired house, dub and atmospheric ambient soundscapes.

The A-side opens with “Phase I”, a deep, dancefloor-driven cut built around hypnotic synth textures, rolling grooves and a subtle trance influence. Drawing on the expansive electronic sound associated with Kassian’s solo work, the track balances immersive atmosphere with a steady, propulsive rhythm suited to extended club sets.

On the B-side, “Phase II” shifts into warm, reggae-tinged dub territory, with weighty basslines and echoing chords creating a spacious, laid-back groove. The final track, “Phase III”, moves into serene ambient territory, offering a more introspective conclusion that highlights the duo’s ability to explore texture and space beyond the dancefloor.

Known for their captivating live performances at clubs and festivals around the world, Opal Sunn showcase their genre-blending approach across all three phases. With DJ support from Alex Kassian, DJ Cosmo, Lovefingers, Sean Johnston, Laurent Garnier, Massimiliano Pagliara, Moxie and Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, Elastic is a compelling release for fans of deep electronic music, leftfield house, dub and ambient experimentation.
