Florian Picasso, the enigmatic DJ and producer, is shaking up the electronic music scene with a fearless artistic resurgence. Today, he teamed up with Hot Meal Records and the iconic Amsterdam-based fashion label Filling Pieces to host an exclusive pre-release party, setting the stage for the arrival of his upcoming project When I Saw U. Dropping May 2nd via Hot Meal Records, the release marks a bold new era in Picasso’s sonic evolution.
As the great-grandson of Pablo Picasso, creativity runs in his family, but it’s now his own sound that’s making waves. With nearly two decades of experience, Picasso is stepping into a defining moment in his career, marked by a standout performance at Berlin’s iconic HÖR, a packed ADE show with his music and arts collective Dekadance, and curating the sound for Patek Philippe’s first watch launch in 25 years.
His new sound is as complex as his background, an intoxicating fusion of groovy, bouncy, and hard-hitting beats that balance spontaneity with introspection. Sexy and euphoric yet deeply vulnerable and expressive, his music reflects a personal journey shaped by both privilege and the search for belonging as an adopted child. DJing became his way of processing emotions, channeling them into a sound that speaks to both the mind and the body.
Now, he returns with When I Saw U, a playful, feel-good track that sparks the thrill of young love, excitement, and electrifying anticipation. With pulsating beats, shimmering synths, and irresistibly catchy vocals, it’s an anthem designed to make everyone move.
“I wanted something fresh and fast-paced—built for dancing but with depth,” Picasso shares. “It’s not just about making tracks; it’s about pushing sound and arrangement to new heights.”
With When I Saw U, Florian Picasso cements his place at the forefront of electronic music’s evolution, proving that his legacy is one of reinvention, innovation, and fearless artistry.
