Let's carry on dancing! Vietnamese-French DJ and record producer Florian Picasso is closing out 2018 with his brand new single Hikari, out now on Nicky Romero's Protocol Recordings. As soon as I pressed play I knew I was going to love this song. It has such a feel-good energy that is impossible not to love. Florian definitely showcases his slick, brilliantly honed production in this song Which marks a return to the roots of his sound from the first single on Nicky Romero's label Origami. Meaning light in Japanese, Hikari is a bright song on which its synth chords create a beautiful melody which is bolstered by a delectable plucked riff with a gorgeous vocal synth.
A big snare build thrusts us to the drop where a joyous, stuttered take on this lead melody plays out through big trance chords and thick, buzzing bass. The main break twists and turns these superbly scintillating melodies further, launching us into one final fist-pumping, pyrotechnic-laden drop. Hikari is definitely a way for Florian to end 2018 with a bang and to get you dancing till the new year arrives. Stream this excellent track below!
