Massano Celebrates His Debut Album Release, Natural
Rising Liverpool-based DJ and producer Massano has made significant strides in the melodic techno scene. His rapid ascent has been marked by breathtaking tracks and unforgettable performances worldwide. Recently, he has captivated audiences with electrifying sets at renowned venues like the Sphere, as well as festivals such as Coachella and Ultra Music Festival. Now, he unveils his highly anticipated debut album, Natural.
Natural is not just a random assortment of 15 tracks; it is a carefully curated collection that reflects Massano’s artistic journey and future aspirations.
“‘Natural’ showcases my story as an artist so far. A collection of tracks, emotions, and memories that have been years in the making. Every track has had its own incredible journey from inception to completion. Some tracks I never thought would see the light of day, and others people have been asking for non-stop for months and months.”

Massano chose to release the album through his own label, “Simulate,” to maintain full creative control over every aspect—from music to visuals. “I feel a lot of what I have done so far in my career has been organic and built on my own foundations, so continuing that approach felt totally natural for my debut album,” he explained. This creative vision includes long-form pieces, a livestream in England, a mini-documentary, vinyl releases, and merchandise for a tangible experience.
At the heart of Natural lies an array of mesmerizing soundscapes crafted in the studio. The album features standout tracks like the collaboration “Angel In The Dark” with Anyma and Nathan Nicholson, which premiered during his performances at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Additionally, tracks such as “Oblivion” featuring CamelPhat and Nu-La, and “Healing” with Stephan Bodzin and Jem Cooke also grace the album.
Massano showcases his versatility with new tracks as well. The album’s intro, “Welcome To The Underworld,” blends inspiring vocals with monumental synths, culminating in an explosive energy perfect for mainstage performances. Another highlight, “Lift Me Up,” features contributions from Un:said and RHODES, creating an entrancing soundscape that resonates deeply throughout the night.
While firmly rooted in melodic techno, Massano also explores diverse influences. “Fade Away” with braev introduces listeners to a new wave vibe with its slower tempo and evocative vocals. “Every Day” stands out as one of the album’s faster-paced tracks at 138 BPM, offering a refreshing break from the more subdued sounds typical of the 120 BPM tracks.
The key takeaway from Natural is that it represents a meticulously crafted body of work by Massano that exemplifies the immersive potential of melodic techno. Each track possesses a narrative quality that captivates listeners, ensuring that the album delivers a fulfilling auditory experience without relying on visual elements.
