French producer Thaylo is set to unveil his highly anticipated new EP Echoes of Dawn on May 8, 2026 via PLAYY. Records, marking a defining step forward in his rapidly evolving melodic house sound. Alongside the project arrives its title track as the focus single, showcasing a more expansive and emotionally immersive chapter in the Grenoble-born artist’s growing catalog.
Across the five-track EP, Thaylo delivers a refined balance of emotion, tension, and cinematic release — a signature approach that has steadily positioned him as one of melodic house’s most promising emerging names. Built with live performance in mind, the project leans into atmospheric depth while maintaining the rhythmic drive needed for festival and club environments.
To date, Thaylo has accumulated more than 6.2 million streams on Spotify, with his productions earning support from leading figures including Solomun, Martin Garrix, and Nora En Pure. His releases have appeared on respected imprints such as Colorize, Purified, and Kontor, while also landing placements across major editorial playlists including Chill Tracks, Melancholia, Afterhours, Open Air, Electronic Rising, and Summer House 2025. His momentum has also translated into chart success, including a position in the Top 100 Progressive House releases on Beatport and a Top 100 ranking on Deezer Indonesia.
Recent performances have further reinforced his upward trajectory, including a support slot for melodic heavyweight KOROLOVA at Index Dublin, one of the city’s leading electronic music venues. He has also collaborated with Teho, founder of Labo T, on the release “Belong,” continuing to expand his footprint within the global melodic techno and progressive scene.
The new EP arrives on the heels of his 2025 release Drown In Your Eyes, a project that earned widespread critical acclaim from outlets including YourEDM, Magnetic Magazine, and When We Dip. Reflecting on the release, YourEDM noted, “The 5-track EP showcases Thaylo’s innovative touch and discerning ear like never before.” Meanwhile, Magnetic Magazine highlighted the cinematic quality of “One Life,” describing its progression from introspection to cathartic release, driven by glowing arpeggios and expansive, atmospheric production. When We Dip praised “Let Me Be” as “meditative, introspective and freeing,” underscoring Thaylo’s ability to merge emotional depth with precise production craft.
Born and based in France, Thaylo first discovered his artistic path after being inspired by the iconic Tomorrowland aftermovies, a moment that sparked his ambition to create music designed for large-scale emotional experiences. That vision has since evolved into a fully self-sufficient creative process, with the producer handling writing, production, mixing, and mastering himself.
His sound draws from a wide spectrum of influences, including M83, Ludovico Einaudi, and Solomun, blending melodic house, progressive structures, and deep atmospheric textures into a cohesive identity. The result is a style often compared to artists such as RÜFÜS DU SOL, Ben Böhmer, and Adriatique, while also resonating with fans of deeper, more exploratory electronic music.
Within Echoes of Dawn, Thaylo builds a narrative shaped by contrast and emotional progression. The opening title track establishes a dreamlike, psychedelic tone layered with siren-like vocals and a hypnotic central melody. “Hidden Sky” pushes into darker territory, driven by restless rhythms and sweeping low-end energy, while “Dewfall” explores tension through restraint, gradually unfolding with stuttering synth motifs and rising anticipation. Closing track “Not A Dream” brings the journey into a lighter space, pairing hazy vocal textures with intricate sound design that lifts the EP into a reflective final moment.
Speaking on the project, Thaylo describes Echoes of Dawn as a deeper emotional exploration of his evolving sound. “With Echoes of Dawn, I dive into a more emotional and immersive melodic house atmosphere,” he explains. “The five tracks blend depth and energy, with punchier productions shaped to truly come alive in a live environment.”
With a growing international audience, increasing industry support, and a clear artistic vision, Thaylo continues to position himself as a rising force within melodic electronic music — one built on atmosphere, emotional storytelling, and a steadily expanding global presence.
