The platinum music producer and DJ pivots into new sound with singer-songwriter Cuco on their latest collaboration.
Following the recent release of his POWERLINE EP, Valentino Khan continues his release run with “Closer,” his brand-new single alongside Cuco. The platinum music producer & DJ joins forces with singer-songwriter Cuco for their latest single, which brings together two different but equally respected, genre-transcending Los Angeles-based artists.
Available now (Friday, April 5) through Lovely Day/Imperial Music, “Closer” showcases Valentino’s masterful production, highlighted by swirling synths and intricate beat patterns, which beautifully couple with Cuco’s atmospheric vocals for an indie dance track that you won’t soon be able to get out of your head. While Khan first made waves within the electronic music scene with his house music sound, he’s since decided to dive into the world of techno, a sub-genre with groundbreaking momentum in the dance community. With “Closer” he pivots again for a unique and inviting sound leaning into the dream-pop space.
“I stumbled on Cuco’s music one day and was blown away. ‘Under The Sun’ was what really stood out to me in particular. So I messaged him and to my surprise he said he used to play my song ‘Deep Down Low’ on repeat,” says Valentino Khan. “Long story short, we got in the studio together and made a song that is a perfect blend of our sounds. It was such an incredibly collaborative & refreshing studio session and I’m truly proud of this one.”
