Ibrahim Alfa Jnr's latest album Messier87 is a thrilling exploration of the cutting edge of electronic music. Released via Mille Plateaux, this double vinyl release is a powerful statement that highlights Ibrahim's impressive skill at combining experimental sounds with drum n bass, techno, electro and UK garage.

The album opens with Tqsm, an arresting blend of noise and beats that immediately sets the tone for the rest of Messier87. Veum follows up with its infectious rhythms and cinematic soundscapes while Npnx brings a more upbeat energy to the mix. Tracks such as Mgun continue to explore Ibrahim's unique sonic palette while Zwne brings some welcome respite from the relentless intensity elsewhere on the record.

It marks another impressive release from Ibrahim Alfa Jnr who has been pushing boundaries since his debut release on Mille Plateaux back in 2020 - highlighting his ability to craft exciting new sounds from disparate influences across multiple genres.
