MYSS KETA: out today "THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT

New music for M¥SS KETA who comes out with his new album “.”.

The Milanese artist takes a further step in his journey of exploration and reflection on contemporaneity, pushing beyond the boundaries of pop and electronics. A record that is not just a declaration of intent, but a profound journey into the injustices and unsolvable issues that define modern life.

The exhausting everyday life, where chaos reigns supreme and entropy governs every aspect of existence, becomes the canvas on which M¥SS KETA paints its point of view. In a world that flows endlessly, where the vortex of scrolling never seems to lead to anything, the artist becomes a guide, offering a sound and visual experience that shakes and invites reflection.

The album is a hallucinogenic and dreamlike journey, which blends sonic influences of fidget house, synthpop, electroclash and dance, but doesn't stop at the music. The album is also the result of deep and detailed research, which includes literary and conceptual inspirations from authors such as Alberto Arbasino, Elena Ferrante and theorists such as Baudrillard. The fragmentation of identity, alienation and human decadence mix with reflection on hyperreality, a world shaped by the media, which M¥SS KETA explores with his unique and unfiltered vision.

M¥SS KETA presented the album at a press conference. We chatted with her to discover the meaning behind the album's title, bold musical choices and her artistic vision.
Between discourses on the changing world, sonic influences and his attention to the visual, M¥SS KETA tells us how every “point” placed in his music becomes a reflection on the present and the future.

THE DISC

The title “.” is significant: the point is a symbol of conclusion, but also of strength. It is the sign that marks the end of a sentence, but also the beginning of another thought.

It is very small, but contains great energy. His position in the punctuation is clear and defined, and that's exactly what I wanted to convey with the album: a strength that doesn't hide, that gets straight to the point, without mincing words.

Speaking of essentiality, the album was designed to be simple and direct, without frills. Each text was curated to be as powerful and authentic as possible. I avoided repeating themes already explored in the past, instead trying to express more visceral emotions. I realized that my work ended up reflecting on the emotional reality of our time: a difficult and cruel world, which highlights the worst part of us. The album is therefore a journey into my most primitive self, into pure emotion.

I wanted to create an honest work, without thinking about what the public would like.
A modern fairy tale, a dance floor fairy tale!

THE SOUND

The musical part is the result of intense research work.

With my team, we chose to follow our instincts, mixing different genres and sounds.

The music on the album is very electronic, with some forays into more rock sounds, such as in Neurotica. It is possible to find various influences: fidget house, synthpop, tecktonik, the electroclash sound world of Miss Kittin and Felix da Housecat, the dance influences of Gigi D'Agostino, the visionary melodies of Crystal Castles.

THE FEATS.

Vera Gemma is a true gem. We collaborated on Vendetta, a track that represents us both.

When we met, it was love at first sight. We agreed on very personal topics, and from there a very natural collaboration was born.

The lyrics of Vendetta were written together, with a melody that pushes on trap, a sound that fascinated me a lot in this period. The result is a song that reflects us both.

SANREMO

Sanremo has always been a great point of reference for Italian music, and I consider it an important popular event.

However, for this album I decided not to force the creation of “Sanremo” songs.

I don't want to write a song thinking about Sanremo, because I think it would risk sounding artificial. If it were to happen, and if I found the right song, I would love to participate. But for now, the important thing is that the album is authentic, made without compromise.

THE VIEW

The visual side has always been fundamental for me. Already in the first works on YouTube, the image always complemented the music. With Punto, I wanted to give a strong visual identity, with videos that reflect the intensity and contrast of the themes covered.

For example, the 1260m video expresses a contrast between the apparent lightness of dance music and the deeper meaning behind it. For me, the video is an extension of the song, a way to add another layer of meaning.

Even the color scheme of the album, the colors, were chosen very carefully: red and black are the colors that best describe Punto's darkness and passion. Red is my color, and I wanted it to be the color of the record to represent the strength and vitality of this work.

TRACK BY TRACK

1. HER
The conditions are set in this minimalist manifesto where deaf and slow synthesizers like gigantic steps dictate the tempo of this dribble between minor and major, between the vocal power of soprano Carmela Remigio and lapidary phrases inspired by Arbasino's Super Eliogabalo.

She hates you, know that.

2. LES MISÉRABLES
A choir of children's voices was infused with the resignation of having to grow up in a degrading and opportunistic society, where resorting to every trick without any scruple is the key to success. A choir, in the desolation of an empty arrangement that resolves itself into a train bass, a fidget house beat and some acid synthesis.

3. CAFONAL
The dead or alive that resonate from the battered speakers of an old sound system in Montecitorio, where a big party is taking place. what do the guests sing? What do their DJs play? 80s synthpop, Gigi D'Agostino and the first M¥SS KETA.

4. THEY WANT TO BE ME
M¥SS KETA in full swing chooses a diss track as a comeback. You don't keep a chickpea in your mouth over a crunchy baile funk beat with fidget house twist.

5. DIVORCEED
The description of an aesthetic, the mythology of a woman, the contemporary happy ending? Echoing hints of Carmina Burana sensations on electroclash tektonik à la française. The arrow of a Porsche Cayenne marks the time of a great crescendo, which will lead to nothing other than coitus interruptus.

6. NEVROTHIKA
NEVROTIKA is a mirage on the asphalt that comes to life with the electric discharges of the guitars, it is rocked by the soundtracks of films on the road in the company of Shania Twain and Laura Dern watching “Wild at heart”.

7. M¥SS KETA ♥ PEGASO)
M¥SS does not hide its love for lysergia, escape and dissociation, so much so that it turns it into a nursery tale where it tells of daring adventures with Pegasus in the sky. Beat Jersey with input from Pc Music and PinkPantheress, for a pushy finish.

8. IT GIRL
Beat house drill, Emanuele Inglese, Emix & D. Lewis, Diabolika. Synth-drills on techno basement speakers accompany faded memories of Berlin and screams from tabloid newspapers.

9. 160BPM
Sibylline nocturnal revelations on 160BPM of straight kick and upbeat bass that echo memories of Crystal Castles. Multiple different vocal dynamics come together in this rave tableau.

10. REVENGE FEAT TRUE
They have a weapon and they are not afraid to use it: their voice. Vera Gemma, legend of underground cinema, writes a text on a No melody/Trap beat and crossed by highly distorted screamo vocals.

11. BITCH WITH A VIEW
An intimate reflection by M¥SS on the mirrored glass of the city of Milan. The 808 bounces on the Jersey House pattern and intersects with faded rave synth leads, in the distance. Crescent ending.

Bonus tracks:

12. SKINNY LEGEND
Pure creative energy, without too many prerequisites. Two beats (Trap 4/4 and ol' skool), one legend.

13. SINNER
Learned sonic references to the gabber culture of the late '90s come together perfectly in a futuristic and contemporary high-speed hard house number produced by Greg Willen. M¥SS shows off an overbearing vocal performance, identifying with Jannik Sinner, a champion of the art.
