Codeko—the London-based producer, classically trained pianist, and physicist—returns to Lost In Dreams with his most expansive and energetic body of work to date: the five-track ‘Glow’ EP. Fusing high-octane dance music with emotional depth, the project reflects Codeko’s evolution as an artist, blending influences from UK garage, trance, melodic house, and electropop into a cohesive sonic journey that’s as nostalgic as it is future-focused.
“This EP keeps the melodic focus and characteristics that makes my music my own,” Codeko shares, “but produced in a fresh and interesting way with a focus on the dancefloor—resulting in some of the most fun and unique dance records I’ve made in a very long time.”
“Sleeping” opens the EP with a shimmering sense of dreamlike wonder. Built on tender piano melodies and lush synth pads, the track’s euphoric drop—a mix of ‘80s-inspired textures and chunky drums—feels tailor-made for sunset festival moments. Its central lyric, “What’s the point of sleeping?” becomes a rallying cry for nights that stretch into sunrise.
Following closely is “Set Me Free,” a radiant summer anthem. Mixing breakbeat rhythms with crisp garage percussion and a buoyant topline, the track floats between elation and emotional honesty. Inspired by Codeko’s London upbringing and UK roots, it channels a “happy-but-sad” tone into a dance-ready groove.
The EP then takes an uplifting turn with “Keep Smiling” featuring Ella Poletti. Poletti’s moving vocals anchor this heartfelt house cut, which encourages listeners to find hope amid hardship. Classic piano stabs, bouncy house rhythms, and melodic embellishments make this track both soulful and festival-ready.
On “Save Me,” Codeko teams up with rising vocalist Lake Silver for a club-primed trance throwback. Thumping kicks, acid synths, and roaring arpeggios meet Silver’s emotive delivery in a powerful anthem that turns pain into power. “It’s a song about needing that light in the darkness,” says Lake Silver, capturing the track’s emotional core.
Closing the project is the title track “Glow,” a bold, high-BPM finale built for peak-time sets. Conceived in the Las Vegas airport after EDC 2023, the track fuses melodic euphoria with techno grit. With its fluttering vocal chops, rolling basslines, and massive drops, it encapsulates the heart-pounding energy that defines Codeko’s live shows.
With ‘Glow,’ Codeko delivers more than a collection of tracks—it’s a deeply personal and expertly crafted exploration of melody, memory, and movement. Drawing from his UK heritage and classical foundation, he pushes the boundaries of dance music while staying true to his emotional, uplifting core.
Having toured with Gryffin, Lost Frequencies, Matoma, and Two Friends, and performed at major events like EDC Orlando, Beyond Wonderland, and Lost In Dreams, Codeko now gears up for headline shows at Echoplex LA, Midway SF, and Darkstar AZ, as well as a festival slot at Nocturnal Wonderland.
