Vilemos returns after a two-year break with ‘Sun & Salt’, a track that feels both personal and expansive. Released on 14 August, it is the opening chapter of a bold plan: one new release every month for a full year. For the Paris-based producer, it is about consistency, momentum and connection, an open invitation for listeners to join him on a living, evolving creative journey.
‘Sun & Salt’ blends melodic techno with Afro house, carrying a radiant energy that captures the essence of late summer. Deep pads and airy textures weave through organic percussion, while subtle vocals conjure images of sun on your skin and salt in your hair. It is a soundscape of nostalgia and freedom, drawing on memories of carefree days, laughter and warmth.
The production is uplifting yet hypnotic. It carries enough drive for dancefloors, but its detail and atmosphere make it just as suited to sunset sessions or deep chill playlists. Vilemos has always thrived on balancing intimacy with scale, and here that approach comes through with clarity.
The live instrumentation that runs through his music adds depth, giving the track a tactile quality often missing from purely digital productions. It is a trait that reflects both his jazz-informed background and his influences, which range from Kas:st and Kevin de Vries to Recondite and Innellea. The result is a sound that feels rooted in melodic techno, yet not bound by it.
‘Sun & Salt’ is more than a seasonal release. It is a marker of intent, signalling Vilemos’ return and his commitment to sharing music consistently with his audience. As the first step in a year-long journey, it sets a high bar, warm, emotive and immersive, the kind of track that lingers long after the final note.
