We’re joined by a truly exceptional guest: Digital Mess, a standout name in the progressive and melodic house scene.

"Digital Mess" is the alias of Kirill Holmov, a DJ and producer from Tver, Russia. His path into electronic music began far away from the dancefloor, at the piano. Trained as a classical pianist from the age of six, Kirill performed in conservatories throughout his childhood, developing a deep connection to melody, mood, and musical storytelling. That early discipline and emotional sensitivity would later become the backbone of his unique sound.

By 2008, he had stepped fully into electronic music, debuting on System Recordings and quickly earning recognition for his dark, hypnotic productions. Since then, Digital Mess has released across respected international labels including Mango Alley, Univack, SLC-6 Music, Intricate Records, Higher States, Pure Perception, and many more, each release expanding his reputation as an artist who blends technical precision with cinematic depth.

His catalog features standout works like “Strange Rain” and “Ascension” (SLC-6 Music), the playful “Martian Pancake” (Intricate Records), the futuristic “Taste of Freedom” (Univack), and the recent “Moonbeam / Thunder Sighs” (Higher States). Every project reveals another side of his artistry: sometimes deep and brooding, other times uplifting and melodic, but always unmistakably his own.

For Kirill, music is more than rhythm and melody, it is about groove, mood, and the journey it creates. His sound moves between progressive house, melodic techno, electro, and IDM, carrying listeners through immersive soundscapes that are both powerful on the dancefloor and rich in emotional storytelling.

From his classical roots to his futuristic vision, Digital Mess continues to evolve as one of the most distinctive voices in progressive electronic music, an artist dedicated to creating not just tracks, but experiences that resonate far beyond the club.

It’s an honor to have him with us. I’m proud to welcome Digital Mess as our special guest, This is Autal Code with "Digital Mess"
