Alberto Melloni is a producer, musician, DJ, and co-owner of Raibano Records, out of Riccione, Italy. His musical journey began as a guitarist and synthesizer player, performing across Italy and Europe alongside various artists. Over time, he transitioned into a solo career, developing a distinctive sound that blends disco, italo, afro, techno, and rock influences.

As a producer, he crafts energetic, groove-driven tracks that pay homage to classic sounds while embracing modern electronic textures. His releases, including projects on labels like Bordello A Parigi, showcase his ability to merge rich melodies with dynamic rhythms. Notable works include the Lago Lungo EP, where deep piano harmonies meet pulsating beats, and Azimuth, a collaboration with Leitstrahl that fuses cosmic synths with bold disco aesthetics.

With an ever-evolving style and a passion for dancefloor-driven music, Melloni continues to push the boundaries of electronica making his mark on the international scene.

Biography:

Ilya Santana is a name that echoes through the shimmering corridors of electronic music, particularly in the realms of space disco and cosmic funk. Born and raised in the Canary Islands, a place where the Atlantic meets the dust of Africa, Santana found himself drawn to the edges of sound early on—edges where melody could float, and rhythm didn’t have to march. He came up through the analog warmth of the ‘70s and the cold seduction of the ‘80s, and somehow fused both into his own kind of future nostalgia.

His career took root in the early 2000s, not through grand gestures but through consistency—a steady stream of releases that wound their way through labels like Balearic stalwarts Eskimo Recordings and Nang. Each track, a kind of ode to neon dreams and late-night drives, became a testament to Santana’s gift for atmosphere: his music doesn’t just play, it inhabits. There’s a cinematic quality to his work, like he’s scoring the movie of a life that’s never quite real but always feels familiar.

Ilya’s sound is less about chart-topping bravado and more about evocation. It lingers. It hums beneath the surface of memory. Through remix work, original compositions, and DJ sets that feel like journeys, Santana has shaped a career that’s both low-key and influential—an underground luminary lighting the way for those who understand that some of the best music doesn’t demand attention, it earns it.

Ilya is running his own record label "Astrolead recordings" specialized on the most underground side of Disco, Space/Cosmic disco, Retro and Synthwave.
Also started duties as a sound designer crafting sample/loops packages for "Loopmasters"
