BLAH BLAH BLAH

Manchester-via-Miami DJ and producer Méssous weaves hints of 80s electro and funk into his minimal-leaning productions, which have found favour with the likes of Loco Dice, Cloonee, Paco Osuna, and more. The PNK Records A&R has been carving out a lane of his own within Miami’s bustling underground, and now he adds a new string to his bow with a big label debut for Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars imprint, with his brain-melting synth work at the fore.

“This release is a leap toward the sound I’ve been chasing - where 80s/90s electro meets modern club energy. Inspired by raw vintage grooves and built with the punch of hardware like the Jupiter-8 and Minimoog, it’s the beginning of a new chapter: my own take on retro-futuristic dance music.” - Méssous.

Steely opener 'Nine' brings taught bass and tight drum programming to a future-facing tech house groove before a falling synth line brings a dynamic twist to the menacing low end, as warped stabs and loopy, robotic vocal refrain keep things strictly interplanetary. 'Steel Steppers' is another stylish sound that beams down from a distant world with more stripped-back and metallic drums. There's a cosmic industrial edge to the atmosphere and sinewy synths that wire up the groove. The superb 'Crystal Dance' closes out this inventive EP, blending mechanical rhythms and thudding bass to make for irresistible body music with a tripped-out edge.

PREMIERE: Méssous - Crystal Dance [Repopulate Mars]

Ilario Alicante’s label presents a ten-track compilation with familiar names and debutants.

Since its launch in 2024, Ilario Alicante’s Sound D’Elite has fast earned recognition as a hub for both established and rising voices in the underground scene. As part of Sound D’Elite’s mission to celebrate global dance music culture, the label now unveils its first Various Artists compilation, ‘Elite Gathering Vol.1 (Sonar 2025 Edition)’ — the inaugural chapter of a brand-new VA series, timed to coincide with Sonar 2025 festival.
Bringing together a selection of trusted contributors and fresh arrivals, the ten-track compilation captures the essence of Sound D’Elite’s forward-thinking approach, with London’s Antss kicks things oﬀ with ‘Can’t Right Now’, delivering a relentless groove packed with energy and bounce. Spanish duo The BeatBoy’s take a darker turn on ‘Closer’, blending moody atmospheres and rolling percussion. Italy’s White Oﬀ brings a rumbling low-end pressure on ‘All Ma Ladies’,
primed for late-night floors.
Making his debut appearance on Sound D’Elite, Justin Rabin experiments with glitchy textures and playful vocal chops in ‘Handle This’, while returning favourites BizZa, GruuvElement’s, and Artslaves, deliver their trademark punch and precision. Vanny Granata, and Piero Acinapura, bring their own distinct flavours, ranging from crisp, techy rhythms to stripped-back funk. Closing out the compilation, Antonello Camboni and Stefano Crabuzza join forces on ‘About Music’, merging their individual styles into a deeply grooving dancefloor tool.
With ‘Elite Gathering Vol.1 (Sonar 2025 Edition)’, the label sets the tone for what promises to be a forward-thinking series—one that captures the energy of the scene’s landmark events while continuing to champion innovative artists from across the globe
