Couldn't be happier with my Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1! Having grown up listening to the Radio 1 Dance Family & Essential Mixes religiously, they had a huge influence on my musical taste. So much so, that I would even say that I wouldn't be making the music I make today if it wasn't for their impact.

It's always a huge honour to work with Radio 1 and I had a lot of fun putting this mix together for you, including a few surprises to highlight some of those early influences.
It's always been a dream of mine to make an essential mix, so this feels like a huge milestone for me, thank you BBC Radio 1🙏🏻

At times like this, I always think back to where I started and it has been an amazing journey so far, from playing at house parties and small clubs to some of the most incredible stages around the world. So thanks to everyone that has supported me along the way ❤

Combining aggressive sound design with hypnotic grooves and melodies, Massano’s rapid rise continues to accelerate at a meteoric rate. Hailing from the outskirts of a thriving electronic music culture in Liverpool, Massano has been universally regarded as one of the biggest breakout stars of the last two years, not only in the techno community but across the electronic music landscape as a whole!

After the release of his breakout hit, “The Feeling”, Massano’s demand increased by the day, and new music was released, including his debut Afterlife EP ‘In My System’. The EP received huge live support and performed incredibly well on Beatport, going #1 on the Releases Chart, “Drown” going Top 10 on the overall Top 100 chart, and each of the 4-track offering hitting the Top 5 of the Melodic House & Techno chart. Massano’s music has proven to have widespread appeal by gaining continuous support from A-list DJs across all genres of electronic music including the likes of Tale of Us, Calvin Harris, Adam Beyer, Adriatique, Artbat, David Guetta, Camelphat, Fisher, HI-LO, Vintage Culture, Pete Tong, and many more. Strong radio support has also been there from the start, with Massano’s releases getting played frequently by the likes of BBC Radio 1, Capital FM, Kiss FM, and Sirius XM. He’s also proven his DJ skills match his wizkid production abilities by being booked at some of the biggest events, festivals, and venues the world has to offer, including The FIFA World Cup, Wembley Arena, Tomorrowland, Sziget, Ultra, Kappa Futur Festival, The Warehouse Project, Time Warp, Electric Zoo, Creamfields, HI / Ushuaia / Pacha Ibiza, Brooklyn Mirage, Printworks and more!

2023 started with Massano ranking as the #3 best-selling Melodic Techno artist over the last 12 months! With several stand out releases to his name on Tale of Us’ uber credible and tastemaker label, Afterlife, Adam Beyer’s iconic Drumcode Records, widely renowned remixes for Depeche Mode and Royksopp, and a critically acclaimed BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, Massano took the next step in his career by launching his own label, Simulate. Simulate serves as a platform for some of Massano’s own releases but also a place where he can nurture the next generation of artists. Embracing the idea that life is a simulation, Massano envisions a future where technology reigns supreme, shaping our world into the unimaginable. With Simulate Massano combines music, technology, and philosophical exploration into a mesmerizing sonic experience that challenges our perception of reality and takes you on a transcendent journey, where the possibilities of a technologically advanced world two centuries from now come to life through audio and visual art. As an artist-driven label, Massano curates a roster of forward-thinking musicians who dare to push the boundaries of electronic music, inviting listeners to ponder the intricacies of our simulated universe.

After playing over 120 shows and releasing 12 songs in 2023, 2024 will be Massano’s biggest year to date! From bigger shows and productions to new music, remixes, merch, fan clubs and more Massano’s world domination is on a steady, yet rapid, ascension upwards and the best is still yet to come!
