Meet Massano: A Burgeoning Melodic Techno Artist - Techno Pedia

Massano is a new artist on the melodic techno scene. At just 23 years old, he achieved impressive success. His debut EP Afterlife, In My System , received good support and performed well on Beatport, reaching number one on the Beatport release chart. The remix of "Drown" reached the top ten in all genres, and all four tracks on the EP reached the top five on the melodic and techno house charts.

The artist has also performed at major venues around the world including Tale of Us, Stephan Bodzin, Anna and Mind Against to name a few. In fact, Massano was a prolific artist.

The producer's energetic, euphoric and aggressive voice is at its best on his latest album "Human Aura". These tracks contain dark beats, synths, melodic sounds, bass and more.

Massano first became interested in dance music when his father played music in the car, such as Faithless's "Insomnia." Other artists he listened to, like Camelphat, Eric Prydz and Pete Tong, helped reignite his love for home and technology.

Growing up, the artist worked on the family farm and in several restaurants. When it comes to music, he says it's more of a hobby than a career that he's considering, although he's always been interested in music.

“I started looking for any job in the music industry. I was really trying to get some experience, like helping people at the gate at events, seeing how things are going and trying to understand a bit more," Massano said. ...and as time went on I got better and better. Then I started to see my music explode and it got a lot of support. Little by little I started to think... 'Maybe this is a career for me.'”

He says he's started to devote more time to making music, which he still enjoys and doesn't work out. "[No] there was really a moment where I was like, 'Ah, this is my job now.' I have a choice of tours. Maybe. Make money [from it] and have a long career."

Massano says his voice doesn't always suit other labels and could be the start of a new subgenre. "I started a new concept," he added. "It will be called Simulatu and will focus on the future of my style, like futuristic, aggressive, energetic music."

As for the advice he gave to young men: “Get a job. At first just focus on the music and don't worry about the little things that might distract you. I think when the music is at a high level, everything else is easy."
