BUY/STREAM: PRETTY LIES EP (FLUID) 21ST MAY
Florian Picasso returns to FLUID on 21st May with ‘Pretty Lies’, a four-track EP that pushes further into a high-impact blend of trance, acid, speed house and hard dance, continuing his recent shift towards a more club-focused, peak-time sound.
Following the release of lead single ‘Dior’, the project expands on a faster, more melodic direction that has been running through his recent output - balancing euphoric hooks with heavier percussion and rave-driven energy, built for both festival stages and late-night club systems.
Over recent years, Florian Picasso has moved beyond the progressive house sound he was first known for, developing a more hybrid approach that draws from multiple areas of dance music while retaining strong crossover appeal. The French-Vietnamese producer has released on labels including Spinnin’ Records and Protocol Recordings, with support from artists such as Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren and Nicky Romero.
Opening the EP, ‘Pretty Lies’ sees Florian team up with Polyamor co-founder Mika Heggemann for a high-impact collaboration fusing euphoric trance melodies with sharp acid lines and driving percussion. Designed as a peak-time weapon, it sits firmly between festival-scale energy and wider crossover accessibility.
‘Dior’ leans into speed house and trance influences, pairing playful vocal elements with the unmistakable bounce of the classic Korg M1 bassline, while ‘Exctasy’ nods to early 2000s trance through cinematic builds, spoken-word elements and euphoric release-driven structure.
Closing the EP, ‘Wonderland’ pushes into more experimental territory, combining acid-led synth work, jungle-inspired drum patterns and classic house piano motifs for a genre-blending finale that reflects the wider scope of the release.
