Komok “Space Commuters” Signals the Road to Protopia

I lived in Italy for about six years. During that time, one thing became obvious: electronic music has a long, proud history there. The country raised pioneers who shaped entire club generations. Giorgio Moroder with his futuristic disco machines, Mario Fargetta pushing Italian house onto European dancefloors, and the late Claudio Coccoluto who gave club culture both depth and soul.

That tradition of groove, curiosity, and audio elegance still flows today. Komok steps right into that lineage with Space Commuters, a track that moves the electronic project of London-based Italian composer Alessandro Inglima further along its road. With this release, the Protopia journey moves one step further.

Inside Komok’s Space Commuters

Space Commuters settles into a confident mid-tempo rhythm. The kind that pulls listeners forward while details slowly appear around the groove. I love the analogue warmth that sits next to those futuristic synth textures. Just like small fragments flickering in the background, this one comes like distant signals drifting between satellites.

The rhythm moves forward, and step by step the track opens through layers and subtle shifts. Along the way acid-house flavour meets leftfield techno instincts, while a touch of machine-funk colours the groove. As I listened, I kept noticing those tiny decisions inside the mix. Short synth stabs, evolving textures, rhythmic turns that reveal themselves while travelling through bars.

The Protopia project

Komok marks a clear step into electronic territory for Alessandro Inglima. His background began with bass guitar before expanding into synthesizers, experimental sound design, and composition for visual media. Over the years, film, theatre, documentaries, and live performance gradually shaped the way he approaches sound.

You can hear that visual thinking inside Space Commuters. Each section introduces atmosphere and movement as if the music accompanies a scene. That approach connects directly with Protopia, the 12-track audio-visual project where Alessandro Inglima explores nostalgia, technology, and futuristic landscapes.

Waiting for this album feels like anticipating a new world. A world where each track takes shape as its own location in sound rather than a traditional song. At this point, Komok opens that world with confidence.

If Space Commuters marks another signal from Protopia, I already start thinking about the full journey. Earlier along the same road, signals appeared through Quasi-Human[e] and Elliptisk Galakse. If these signals reached your speakers, this is your next stop. Find Komok here.
