Thaylo Launches Melodic House Gem ‘Not A Dream’ Today on PLAYY. Records

French producer Thaylo, rooted in Grenoble, drops his latest single ‘Not A Dream’ today through PLAYY. Records, marking a strong start to 2026. With over 6.2 million Spotify streams under his belt, Thaylo has built a rep for tracks that mix driving beats with heartfelt tunes, pulling in fans worldwide and nods from heavy hitters like Martin Garrix, Nora En Pure, and Solomun. His stuff has landed on labels such as Purified, Colorize, and Kontor, and he recently warmed up the crowd for KOROLOVA at Dublin’s key spot Index. Coming off his 2025 EP Drown In Your Eyes, which got shoutouts from outlets like YourEDM, When We Dip, Magnetic Magazine, House Music With Love, and NPR Music, he’s hit Beatport’s Top 100 Progressive House and Deezer’s Top 100 in Indonesia. His cuts often pop up on Spotify lists like Chill Tracks, Melancholia, Afterhours, Open Air, Electronic Rising, and Summer House 2025. Inspired by the rush of Tomorrowland aftermovies, Thaylo dove headfirst into DJing and producing, handling his own mixing and mastering. Drawing from acts like M83, Ludovico Einaudi, and Solomun, he shapes a style that slides between melodic house, progressive, and deep house vibes, appealing to listeners of RÜFÜS DU SOL, Jan Blomqvist, Monolink, and Nora En Pure. His live sets stand out for blending sharp contrasts in mood through piano-led builds and eclectic layers.

The track itself layers swelling synth lines over steady pulses, with echoed vocals adding depth and pull. It builds a sense of lift and introspection, fitting right into those extended festival sets where the crowd locks in during dawn or dusk hours.

Thaylo shared: “‘Not A Dream’ explores the fragile line between reality and illusion, where memories, desire and melodic house collide. Blending melodic house with a dreamlike narrative, ‘Not A Dream’ captures the feeling of a moment you’re never sure really happened.“
