Hailing from Russia, Digital Mess has been a fixture of the progressive house scene for the better part of two decades. The Tver resident first rose to prominence with a string of early projects for System Recordings, where he established a dark, cutting edge production style that made him a name to watch going forward. With an enthusiastic attitude towards experimentation, coupled with extraordinary creative vision, the next decade-plus would see Digital Mess continue to refine his sound, always remaining club-effective with standout releases via Constellation Music, Mango Alley and WARPP. Now, fresh off well-received remixes for Manual Music and UV, Digital Mess adds Higher States to his resume with ‘Moonbeam / Thunder Sighs’. Progressive Astronaut caught up with Digital Mess to learn more about his Higher States EP, his background, electronic music in the Russia, DJing, and much more. Enjoy. Hi Kirill, thanks for talking to us today. How has 2024 been for you so far? H
