Thaylo kicks off 2026 with the release of ‘Not A Dream’ today on PLAYY. Records, building on his solid run in electronic music. He’s racked up 6.2 million Spotify streams with productions that lock in steady grooves alongside expressive melodies, drawing global listeners and endorsements from key players like Martin Garrix, Nora En Pure, and Solomun. His catalog spans labels such as Purified, Colorize, and Kontor, and he recently opened for KOROLOVA at Dublin’s electronic hub Index. Fresh from his 2025 EP Drown In Your Eyes, which pulled acclaim from YourEDM, When We Dip, Magnetic Magazine, House Music With Love, and NPR Music, Thaylo has charted in Beatport’s Top 100 Progressive House and Deezer’s Top 100 in Indonesia. His work often lands on Spotify editorials like Chill Tracks, Melancholia, Afterhours, Open Air, Electronic Rising, and Summer House 2025. Hooked early by Tomorrowland aftermovies, he committed to crafting his own tracks, self-handling production, mixing, and mastering. Pulling from influences like M83, Ludovico Einaudi, and Solomun, Thaylo navigates melodic house, progressive, and deep house territories, resonating with fans of RÜFÜS DU SOL, Jan Blomqvist, Monolink, and Nora En Pure. His live shows stand out for weaving piano elements into rhythmic patterns that shift between emotional peaks and subtle dips, creating an eclectic soundscape.
Diving into ‘Not A Dream’, It opens with synth swells that rise and fall in waves, creating a sense of build-up before handing off to a consistent bass-driven rhythm that anchors the structure. Around this core, reverb-soaked vocals orbit in the mix, adding a hazy quality that draws out feelings of uplift and introspection. These elements stack to evoke a mix of heightened awareness and disorientation, with the synths providing expansive textures that mimic a shift in perception, while the rhythms keep things propulsive. The overall arrangement plays with dynamics, letting quieter vocal passages hold space before ramping back into fuller sections, mirroring the tidal effect of melodic house at its core.
Thaylo shared: “‘Not A Dream’ explores the fragile line between reality and illusion, where memories, desire and melodic house collide. Blending melodic house with a dreamlike narrative, ‘Not A Dream’ captures the feeling of a moment you’re never sure really happened.“
