Alejandro Mosso: The Argentine Alchemist of Emotive Electronics
Musically Bridging Continents & Genres
In the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music, few artists embody the spirit of global fusion quite like Alejandro Mosso. Born in Argentina in 1983 and operating under aliases like Funzion, E. Bridge, and Ampec, Mosso has become a cornerstone of the South American electronic vanguard, with releases on Alphahouse (USA), Sushitech (UK), Lessizmore (Belgium), and Cocoon compilations.
His sound—warm, melodic, and intricately rhythmic—defies easy categorization. Tracks like “Somebody” (featured on our iPod player) reveal a producer who crafts club weapons with emotional depth, equally suited for Berghain’s concrete walls or late-night home listening. Between 2006 and 2009, Mosso took his hypnotic live sets across Europe, winning over underground crowds with a style that’s as technical as it is soulful.
The Interview:
Leila Antakly: Your music feels deeply connected to nature and emotion. What inspires you?
Alejandro Mosso: Everything. Music, sounds, landscapes, love, even books—it’s hard to pinpoint what sparks a melody. Maybe it’s the Aconcagua Mountain at sunrise or the quiet intensity of Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial. Life doesn’t separate art from experience, so neither do I.
Favorite musicians and why?
Raz Ohara – His voice is a universe.
Autechre – Masters of sonic architecture.
José González – Pure, raw emotion.
Astor Piazzolla – Tango’s rebellious genius.
My Bloody Valentine – They taught me noise can be beautiful.
Björk – The definition of fearless creativity.
They all share one thing: they make me feel something unique.
How would you describe your sound?
[Laughs] Ask a techno journalist! But if I had to... house, melodic, warm, emotive, bassy. Like Astor Piazzolla meets a modular synth in a Berlin basement.
Favorite cultural (or personal) hotspots?
Potrerillos, Mendoza (Argentina) – Where the mountains silence everything but your thoughts.
Zapallar, Viña del Mar (Chile) – Ocean meets wilderness.
Holocaust Memorial, Berlin – A place of heavy, necessary reflection.
Floralis Generica, Buenos Aires – A steel flower that blooms daily—perfect metaphor for art.
Berghain, Berlin – The church of techno.
Aconcagua Mountain – The closest I’ve felt to the sublime.
What’s next?
More live performances, more collaborations, and always exploring. Maybe a field-recording project in Patagonia...
In a scene often obsessed with genre boxes, Mosso’s work is a reminder that techno can be both cerebral and heartfelt. Whether he’s channeling Argentine landscapes or Berlin’s industrial pulse, his music breathes.
Essential Tracks:
“Somebody” – A melancholic groove that sticks to your ribs.
Sushitech releases – Where precision meets soul.
