Feeling all wound up from a stressful week? Well, with the weekend looming, why don’t you kick off your shoes, let your hair down, and get moving to the groove of Florian Picasso’s new single, ‘Unwind’, available now under his own record label La Californie Musique.

Stream / Download: Florian Picasso – ‘Unwind’

‘Unwind’ is a party animal. If it were a person, it would be dressed in psychedelic festival clothing, face painted, and ready to rave. Tech-house drums drive the track forward. But Florian doesn’t seem to be in any particular hurry to get to the end of the track. Protracting the experience he is creating, he builds the arrangement in a way that keeps us in that dance pocket.

“As the festival season is around the corner, I felt like creating a big dance floor, energy-packed record. I think DJs will appreciate the shifts of different drops in this one,” said Florian. And listening to the record, we can hear this energy shine through.

With the new release, we go to know the duo. World meet EJ300:

For people who “can’t stop dancing”, what is the cure?

Fortunately, there is no cure and that’s the beauty… Dancing is life and we must never stop!

What sparked the idea for the new record?

It was a dark clubby night on December 15th 2022. E1500 sent a voice message to J1500 saying “I CANT STOP DANCING” .. J1500 immediately built a beat around that and the rest is history!

At what point in your life did you have that moment where you said to yourself “This is it. This is the type of music I want to create?”

In November 2022, E1500 sent a voice memo to J1500 that said “I can’t stop dancing” … J1500 built a beat around it, and the rest is history.

Please list some of the most influential albums on your creative outlook and output:

‘Channel Tres’ by Channel Tres, ‘Loose’ by Nelly Furtado, ‘EP2’ by Yaeji.

What key pieces of gear/software are you using to define your sound?

SM7B, SH101, JUNO 60, Prophet 5.

What inspires you outside of music? What do you turn to when the creative well runs a little low?

We’ll usually go clubbing to resurrect the spirits of dance; it always works a treat.

What is your opinion on the ever-spreading sub-genre vine? Are there too many? Do you think there’s perhaps a sub-genre that doesn’t get the attention it deserves?  

We’re not familiar with vine? But there are no rules; that’s part of the beauty of this all. Hard to say regarding sub-genre attention… there are, for example, electronic music scenes that seem to appreciate a lack of attention, like a secret garden only some hold the key to, which is super cool and cute.

Studio work and music creation or performing and interacting with a live audience, what do you prefer?

They’re so different. A perfect balance would be ideal for us.

Any new or upcoming artists on your radar? Who shouldn’t the world sleep on?

Park Hye Jin, Brijean, Filipe Gordon.

What can we expect from you in the near future? Any upcoming projects or gigs in the pipeline that you would like to tell us about?

We’re brand new, but we have a lot of music coming out this year. Eyes peeled, stay tuned.

One last thought to leave your fans with?

You can’t stop dancing!

Dip a spoon in the punch bowl and pour yourself a liberal swig of producer Dante Klein’s newly released single ‘Flute Mimosa’. Released under Garden Party Records, the record is a jam between flamboyant flutes and island drums. Together, they charm listeners, luring us out of our beach huts and onto Dante’s dancefloor.

Stream / Download: Dante Klein – ‘Flute Mimosa’

Upon arrival, he offers us his signature blend of club music, an upbeat, feel-good sound that dances to the beat of drunken drum patterns. Shakers shimmy and snares do the Mexican wave, rising and falling as the track progresses. A steady kick holds us upright as we twirl, lost in the joyous atmosphere, swaying hips with reckless abandon.

Like a night on the town, we lose track of time as the song passes us by and, keeping our car keys safe, Dante Klein plays the cautious barman, warning us that  “after hearing Dante’s second club track on Garden Party Records you might be hooked on Mimosas”.
