Disco Pop from Trip Tease

Born in 1991 and based in Mexico, Trip Tease is the creative alter ego of producer Carlos Salame, a visionary artist walking his own path in the modern electronic sphere. His music exists in that elusive space between dream and rhythm, where intricate sound design meets a wash of nostalgic warmth. Drawing influence from pop, techno, lo-fi house and synthwave stylings, Trip Tease’s musical output is wrapped in texture and instilled with emotion.

Since making his artistic entrance in 2018 with the debut single “Copy in Space”, Carlos has been developing his sound by bringing together analogue nostalgia with a crisp, modern vibe. His sound is the product of a lifelong fascination with electronic storytelling where music has the power to ignite imagination. Over the years, he’s worked alongside a diverse range of collaborators, from Rhye and Alejandro Molinari to Kris Berle, Olafur Arnalds, Polo & Pan and Photay, positioning himself within a global network of innovators who treat sound as an artform.

Trip Tease’s approach to production balances intricate detail with playfulness; his music often unfolds like a lucid dream where hypnotic beats punch beneath melodic phrases that shimmer and dissolve, wrapped up by a tactile sense of space. This unique touch has carried him from studio experimentation to some of Mexico’s biggest music festivals, where his live sets have become known for their immersive energy and invigorating flow.

First sharing his studio sound in 2018 with the debut single “Copy in Space,” he’s dropped several tracks and his debut EP, Shades, which landed in 2020. Now he brings us the perfect snapshot of the latest chapter in his musical story with his new single titled “Palcon Funch,” lifted from his recent three-track release, Sex Having Disco, Pt. 1.

The track is a dreamy, nostalgic fusion of 80s vibes and Italo disco shimmer cut with sticky pop melodies, glowing with the warmth of bright synths and smooth, grooving rhythm. Set up by the snap of drums and colourful sweep of siren-like sounds, the track rolls with steady rhythmic march as pulsing instrumental textures and flickering flashes add to the arrangement.

Flowing with bouncy basslines and spacey synth elements carrying uplifting melodic lines, the track progresses with stabby tones and the relentless groove of the beat to form an enveloping jam that’s vibrant and truly transportive. Developing with dancing lead synths, stacks of zappy timbres and slick guitar licks, “Palcon Funch” sees Trip Tease deliver a dazzling disco pop outing that takes cues from yesteryear to offer an epic sound for today.
