With the size of 500 x 500 pixels and set its foreground color to #393943 and background color to #100e19. Fill its background with a radial gradient. Press Ctrl+J to duplicate the background layer. To apply it pattern overlay layer style double clicks on the background copy layer. Now change its blend mode to multiply, opacity at 70%, and scale at 25%. Use pattern with playing around with the value. Other layer mode set soft light, vivid light, and color dodge. But here you can choose another one if you think that will better than this. Pick the rectangular marquee tool and click the options bar and set the style for fixing its size. Now fix it 50 percent both of the sides as width and height.

Through go to select then deselect to free the selection, reduce its opacity at 25% into this layer, and for erasing the middle area of selection using a large brush. By creating a new layer on top of all layer named it as your wish in where I named it Light Squares.

Setting drop shadow through changing opacity 85%, distance to 2, and size to 15. Again set into inner shadow change the blend mode to color dodge with the color #a98e0f, opacity at 50%, distance to 1, size to 0.
