Reinier Zonneveld's Filth On Acid label comes ready with a first ever album only 18 months after launching. In that time it has released music from big names like Carl Cox, Gabriel Ananda, Bart Skils, Pig&Dan, Emmanuel Top, Coyu and many more, and this standout full length comes from Mees Salomé. It explores melodic and immersive techno, is entitled Big Thoughts Like Elephants and has 12 tracks that really journey into many different moods and grooves and the whole thing plays out with a real sense of musicianship that leaves an indelible mark.

Mees Salomé is a 22 year old producer from the Netherlands who is a self taught guitarist, piano player and drummer. He mixes real melody with solid groove and counts the likes of Reinier Zonneveld, Joris Voorn, Kolsch and many more as fans. This new album shows off a broad array of sounds and skills and is sure to make him an even more essential talent.

Things open with Natural, a tender and thoughtful deep house groove with great keys and chords that take you into outer space. Letting Go is even more out there and suspense you in beautifully ambient keys and chords as gentle, soft drums tumble below. From there the likes of Just Thoughts get a little more driven but have gorgeous vocals from Mees himself that are really emotive, and the rushing chords of Like A Flock Of Birds In The Sky that wash over you and fill you with joy.

Maybe has rubbery house drums but more expansive synths open up the track into the cosmos, Children of Men is darker and the latter half of the album shows a more club orientated sound with great grooves and heads down atmospheres. Unseen is another glorious track with celestial keys and synth lines and Sap shuts things down in epic fashion with dramatic drums and huge chords that leave you feeling cleaned and optimistic.

Can't believe it's already been a year full of Distant! It feels like yesterday I made the first episode. To celebrate the 12th episode, I included a few tracks from my debut artist album "Big Thoughts Like Elephants". Also the first single that will be released tomorrow! Enjoy

We're getting very close to Distant's first birthday party! Boy oh boy, that is going to be a very special episode! For now, here is number 11. An episode packed with beautiful, emotional tracks, including my remix of Frankyeffe - The Sun, coming out tomorrow on Filth On Acid. Enjoy the ride!

We entered the double digits! The 10th hour-long, melody driven trip through hauntingly beautiful tunes that I, oh so gratefully, have come across this month. I hope all your pretty faces enjoy the ride! <3

The first signs of spring have finally come our way, time for Distant! This month is just about good music. Grab a pair of sunglasses, sit back and enjoy the ride! 🌞

Following Yotto’s roof-raiser, Green continues to scorch the new year with another evocative dispatch. Please welcome young Dutch talent Mees Salome and his remarkable label debut…

‘Ya Amar’ is steeped in emotion. Its Arabic title translating to ‘my moon’ or ‘my most beautiful’, there’s serious skin-rippling movement in the sweeping strings and gradual, unhurried-yet-stately pace of the narrative. Majestic, touching and just on the right side of epic.

‘Zero’ takes nothing away from this: Stripped back and driven by a subtly bumpy, turbulent kickdrum, once again we’re eased into Mees’ dramatic narrative with pace and measure. Slowly, surely, overwhelmingly, he whisks us off to parts unknown on some perfectly tempered synths and sweeping motifs.

Dreamy-yet-dramatic with all the right mystical, techno noir touches, Joris and Edwin know a good record when they spot it. We think you’ll be hearing a lot more from Mees in the new future. Green means go…
