Sasha Guryev

Sasha Guryev is a Ukrainian record collector, selector, and musician based in Lisbon, Portugal (previously SF Bay Area) and is a resident of Berlin’s Refuge Worldwide, host of Thoughts, Visions, Dreams curating deep global sounds from cosmic to tropical, soulful to uplifting, across time and space.

Working in audio and hi-fi restoration for 15 years from Klipsch speakers to reel-to-reel decks, he is a tirelessly working digger constantly traveling for impossible to find records from all over. Given this passion, he was invited to share a mix for the renowned channel My Analog Journal, Synthesized PALOP & Cosmic Funaná from Cabo Verde.

Having recently completed tours in SEA, Japan, and São Paulo, expect selections from the far reaches of his enviable record collection from cosmic zouk to soulful disco, balmy astral-exotica, to balearic gems as well as everything in between as he is constantly digging deep to push lesser known and exciting sounds forward.

He began his career as a staff member and DJ at Kieth Flack in Fukuoka, building his style while absorbing a wide range of genres in the local scene. Later, he relocated to Kansai and started hosting the party “C2C” at club noon in Osaka. Actively involved in organizing and booking guest DJs while performing at various clubs and parties across the Kansai area, he has contributed to energizing the local scene. With a warm and engaging selection rooted in soul, funk, house, and hip-hop, he continues to keep the floor moving wherever he plays.

ウクライナ出身のレコードコレクター、セレクター、ミュージシャン。現在はポルトガル・リスボンを拠点に活動(以前はサンフランシスコ・ベイエリア在住)。ベルリンの「Refuge Worldwide」のレジデントであり、「Thoughts, Visions, Dreams」のホストとして、宇宙的からトロピカル、ソウルフルからアップリフティングまで、時代や場所を越えたディープでグローバルなサウンドをキュレーションしている。
スピーカーのKlipschからオープンリールデッキに至るまで、15年間にわたりオーディオやハイファイ機器の修復に携わってきた彼は、世界中を旅しながら入手困難なレコードを探し続ける熱心なディガーでもある。その情熱が評価され、名高いチャンネル「My Analog Journal」にて、カーボベルデのシンセサイザーPALOP & コズミック・フナナーをテーマにしたミックスを披露する機会を得た。
近年では東南アジア、日本、サンパウロでのツアーを終え、コズミック・ズークからソウルフル・ディスコ、南国の風を感じるアストラル・エキゾチカ、バレアリックの名曲、そしてその間に位置するあらゆるサウンドまで、膨大で羨望されるレコードコレクションからの選曲が期待される。常に深く掘り下げ、あまり知られていない刺激的な音楽を世界に届け続けている。
