Klingande

About

Klingande doesn't just produce music; he bottles the Mediterranean sun and sprinkles it over dance floors worldwide. Cédric Steinmyller, the Frenchman behind the moniker, carved his niche in the early 2010s with a sound that transcended the typical EDM fare, injecting tropical house with soulful saxophone melodies and sun-kissed piano chords. Think Kygo meets Kenny G on a beach in Ibiza, and you’re getting close. His breakthrough, "Jubel," was an inescapable summer anthem, topping charts globally and introducing a generation to the addictive blend of dance music and melodic instrumentation. While initially lumped in with the tropical house boom, Klingande's sound possesses a deeper sophistication, drawing influences from classic house and progressive elements. He's not afraid to experiment, evident in later tracks that incorporated deeper basslines and more complex arrangements. Beyond the chart-topping singles, Klingande has cultivated a loyal following with energetic live sets, bringing his signature sound to festivals and clubs across the globe. Collaborations with artists like Broken Back and M-22 highlight his adaptability and commitment to pushing boundaries. Continually refining his sonic palette, Klingande remains a force in electronic music, reminding us that dance music can be both uplifting and deeply affecting. Recent releases and tour dates suggest a renewed focus on bringing his signature sound to even larger audiences.
