AK & Friends 043

Mixed by Alex Kislov

AK & Friends 043 is a year end journey through some of my favorite records from this year and the years leading up to it. This episode opens with a personal intro reflecting on everything 2024 brought with it both musically and personally, before easing into a melodic, emotional, and groove driven story designed to move you from start to finish.

This year marked 14 episodes of AK & Friends, featuring guest mixes from Girasole, RJ Pickens, XEIBO, Terry Golden, Maubin, and JL3, along with two special live sets from EPHIMERA in Tulum and ARC at the Lake at Castaway in Chicago, both available in full video on YouTube. Episode 040 also held a very special tribute to Ron Carroll, whose voice and spirit continue to inspire.

What started in 2022 as a fun little idea has become a monthly ritual for me. Each episode tells a different story, carries a different feeling, and captures a moment in time. A celebration, a release, and a party that lives here once a month.

Thank you for listening, for supporting, and for being part of this journey. Wishing you a happy new year and much love going into the next chapter.

🌙 Dive in, turn it up, and let the energy move you.

AK & Friends 040

Mixed by Alex Kislov

This episode is a special tribute to my friend, mentor, and legend of house music, Ron Carroll, who we sadly lost this week. Ron inspired so many of us with his energy, wisdom, and music — and I had the honor of working with him on our track Day Dream.

To honor his memory, I opened this mix in the most fitting way I could: by going straight into Day Dream as the very first track. The rest of the set carries that same spirit of love, groove, and connection that Ron embodied every day.

This one is for you, Ron. Thank you for everything.
