Darlyn Vlys - The Prince in the Rain LP (Sincopat, 2018)

“Mellizos” is the 1st single taken from “Prince in the Rain” LP by Darlyn Vlys, out May 11, 2018 and via Sincopat imprint.

There’s a certain polished refinement to the Sincopat vibe that gives the label's output more depth that the term "party music" might imply. “Mellizos” is a suitable evidence of this.  Darlyn Vlys music is mature and measured; a pleasant introduction into the craft. His eclectic and sometimes unpredictable style of combining unusual sounds into one track is just a gift. On the original song he challenges us to engage with his inversions, shimmering textures, self-reflexive bass lines, guitar licks and massive melodic arps that follows, allows these ideas to germinate; the track’s evolution is one marked by its own beauties and strangeness.

“Mellizos” sits somewhere between the dance-oriented, propulsive cinematic-nature of Darlyn Vlys and the more meditative, thoughtful side of the French artist.

This 1rst single hides a second motor under the chassis. A remix by Lauer spinning with more BPM than the original track, and that distils high-quality synth-disco and space-house. It is always appreciated to dance with an ear-to-ear grin; Lauer knows perfectly how to satisfy us with a captivating melody and boundless energy. The German Phillip Lauer aka Tuff City Kids delivers infused funky synths and retro drums. 

A stylish club weapon that will ignite the dance floor.

Darlyn Vlys (aka Sylvain Soulier) has been a cornerstone of Sincopat‘s sound releasing singles and EPs on the Valencia-based label since 2010.  With the encouragement of Sincopat’s AFFKT and also with the news of Vlys about to become a father again, the former film student felt inspired to create Prince in the Rain, a twelve-track collection far more in the spirit of the Stranger Things soundtrack as opposed to anything suited for the dancefloor.  While he is currently developing a live presentation of the album, Vlys has shared the soaring, “Paradoxal” exclusively with We Are Machine ahead of the release of Prince in the Rain this Friday as it captures the album’s daring scope and cinematic flair.

Premiere: Darlyn Vlys - Learned To Hide Feat. Northern Lite

Darlyn Vlys is a solo project born in Montpellier 9 years ago, while Sylvain Soulier was studying film.

“Prince in the Rain” is his debut LP, released on @Sincopat with owner AFFKT fully involved in the project, while at the same time leaving 100% creative freedom to the author. This debut album, entitled "Prince in the Rain" was designed, a kind of incredibly well cohesive original soundtrack, written within the parameters of a sci-fi film with a good dose of realism, drama and romanticism. The French artist born in Nimes, and now residing in Valencia, Spain- and whose name is Sylvain Soulier confesses about the title "it is inspired by a reverb preset very frequently used during the album composition, and that pays tribute to one of the artists who have inspired my musical career the most: the regrettably deceased Prince. " And if we add to that, that his child, the one in the artwork, is usually called at home Petit Prince (Little Prince), the entire work connects and brings us on another, higher emotional level.

Premiere: Darlyn Vlys & AFFKT "Mustang" - SINCOPAT

Last year brought us revival of a masterpiece as Blade Runner, North Korea continued playing war, Planet Earth witnessed once again the destruction brought on by hurricanes like Harvey... but it was also a pretty hectic year for our guy Darlyn Vlys "I became a father of twins when I already had a 2-year-old baby, precisely whose photo appears on the cover of this LP… my child's face and his expression, I see myself 100% reflected in him when I was a kid".

In spite of the sacrifice that ‘double’ and fabulous surprise life brought him, 2017 also became a very creative and productive journey. This debut album, entitled "Prince in the Rain" was designed, a kind of incredibly well cohesive original soundtrack, written within the parameters of a sci-fi film with a good dose of realism, drama and romanticism. The French artist –born in Nimes, and now residing in Valencia, Spain- and whose name is Sylvain Soulier confesses about the title "it is inspired by a reverb preset very frequently used during the album composition, and that pays tribute to one of the artists who have inspired my musical career the most: the regrettably deceased Prince. " And if we add to that, that his child, the one in the artwork, is usually called at home Petit Prince (Little Prince), the entire work connects and brings us on another, higher emotional level.

Musically speaking, we will find wisely assembled fragments of electronica: fragile melodies, vocal notes, snapping percussive beats igniting an uncertain yet intriguing mood, sometimes just beautiful loops, and reflective pad chords… very cinematic sounds! A corner where coexist from synth pop halfway cheerfulness and introspection -shoegaze, dream pop- to atmospheric textures of organic house and deep techno.  11 songs built with melodic structures and very detailed sounds where sometimes the lyrical wins (“Retrograde”, “Map to the Stars”), others mild and poetic (“Learned to Hide”, “Tears in the Rain”).
Other songs might surprise you, “Surface” where its choral and moral hypersensitivity could transport you to a ‘chef-d'oeuvre’ like "Goodbye" of Apparat with Soap&Skin. Darlyn Vlys is backed up for this occasion by the vocal collaboration of the Australian singer Haptic. Sparkling and gloomy. Emotional and escapist. Pure and mature. Vivid and full of conflicts, I mean…universal. The collabs of Andreas Kubat, lead singer of the alt-rock and electro German band Northern Lite (twice over: "Learned to Hide" and "Sun in the Hell") as well as the Belgian Rari in "Paradoxal", a kind of "Smalltown Boy" (Bronski Beat) but quite more contemporary and restrained, are also essential in the LP. We are not going to ignore the participation in the album of the musician and drummer Days Off; Kid Bucle (arrangements and perspective) and of course AFFKT, on the mastering and building a final mix of the overall project. AFFKT himself attests "mixing this album has been one of the biggest challenges, most difficult and complex jobs of my entire career as a sound engineer." All of them played a very important part in making this album one of the year's most absorbing and pulsating.
