Late 2024 marks the much-anticipated release of ‘Floret,’ the newest single from acclaimed house artist MYLAMINE. Following the success of his previous single ‘Chasm,’ which garnered significant interest, MYLAMINE continues to innovate with a sound that is both original and deeply moving.
‘Floret’ is a masterful blend of soulful, emotive, and jazzy vibes, characterized by its pulsating, addictive beat and intricate percussion. The track weaves vibrant melodies with organic sounds, creating a lush sonic landscape that captivates listeners from the first note to the last.
True to MYLAMINE’s signature style, ‘Floret’ delivers an authentic and immersive musical experience that stands out in the house scene. This single is a testament to MYLAMINE’s ability to evolve and push the boundaries of his craft while maintaining the unique essence that fans have come to love.
We talk to the up & coming deep house producer about his new single, his US roots, inspirations & more!
WWD: Hey MYLAMINE, How are you today? What’s happening in your world at the moment?
Hello! I’m doing very well. Currently finishing up all of the press and media for my new single. It’s always a fun time seeing something get released that you put your heart and soul into.
WWD: You’re just released your new single ‘Floret’ on Electronic Brew. What was it that attracted you to the label and how did the collaboration come about?
Electronic Brew, before becoming a record label, used to be a blog that would feature mainly underground and unheard music. I have a big affinity for this. All of my life I have tried to dig for the unheard artists, the ones that weren’t popular or getting radio play here in America. There is so much good music out there it just takes some time to search for it. This is what led me to Electronic Brew Records.
WWD: Where was the tune made? Can you expand on some of the notable gear/plugins you used on this?
I have a music studio and office in the attic of my house and the entire track was created there. I do not use tons of analog gear and never got the bug that many electronic musicians have to collect it. Ableton Live has been my go-to DAW for many years. That along with a MacBook Pro and an Akai MPK 49 is my whole rig. Then it’s all about how I manipulate sounds and melodies to fit what I want to create – this is what is most important to me.
WWD: Can you describe the connection between your music and your US roots, and how they continue to influence your music today?
That’s an interesting question, I have not gotten that one before. To be honest I was displeased with a lot of music I was hearing in the US and so I found myself searching for music elsewhere in the world. A very long time ago I was using a music download program called Soulseek that helped me discover my favorite artists. Nowadays I have a bit more appreciation for some of the House music that comes out of the US, we even have a concert club that has hosted some of my favorite artists only 15 minutes from my house (such as Rick Wade, Jimpster, and Black Loops).
WWD: As a producer, what message do you hope to convey through your music? What themes or ideas do you find yourself returning to again and again in your work?
While I’m creating, I’m trying to make something that I would love to hear first and foremost. I love emotional, soulful, and jazzy vibes. I’ve always gravitated towards the chill and mid-to-slower BPM type of music. I’d love for my music to be introspective yet fun, where you can nod your head to it and want to play it again. For some people music gives them tingles or shivers down their back when they really love it – if I could do that for even one person I am happy.
WWD: Give us some other producers we should be listening to right now?
The ones I am always playing right now are – Crackazat, Bootie Grove, Luca Olivotto, Felipe Gordon, Sven Wegner, Alexny, Vittorio Brena, and Alfredo Avila.
WWD: What’s next for you after ‘Floret?’ Can you tell us about any upcoming projects or collaborations you have in the works? Are there any new directions or sounds you’re exploring in your music right now?
The only thing I have planned in the future is to continue creating – where that leads me to we will see! As far as musical direction I think I found where I’m happy at the moment with my current sound. It has evolved a lot over the past 15 years to get itself here.
WWD: Finally, Which are the three records that you’ve been putting in your bag recently without hesitating?
Luca Olivotto – ‘That Groove’
Mono/Poly – ‘Moonlight to Sunlight’
Maria Chiara Argriro – ‘Closer’
WWD: Thanks for the chat 🙂
