Step into the hazy heat of summer, pour yourself a cold drink, and press play on Julandjim’s debut single, DISCO Summer Dreams. Hailing from the idyllic corners of Chai, France, this brand-new project is already carving out a dreamy lane of its own—one where analog lo-fi textures, retro synths, and cinematic nostalgia swirl together like a half-remembered scene from a ‘60s beach movie scored by Daft Punk and Bossa Nova legends.
Think of their sound as a reel of faded Super 8 footage melting under the summer sun, all set to a beat that makes you want to dance barefoot on terrazzo tiles. With nods to the iconic French Touch era, this track blends the warmth of lo-fi analog recording with modern electronic flourishes, somewhere between the intimacy of Jon Hopkins and the glittering hedonism of the Chemical Brothers—topped with a dose of vintage Bossa Nova charm.
DISCO Summer Dreams (dropped on July 21, 2025) is, true to its name, a shimmering love letter to sunshine, escapism, and the art of letting go. From the opening seconds, you’re welcomed into a dreamy soundscape—sun-faded synths, dusty drum machine loops, and a baseline that somehow sounds like it came straight from a lost reel of a 1960s Rio de Janeiro beach party. There’s a breezy ease to the track that feels completely unforced, almost like you’re overhearing a spontaneous jam session that just happened to be brilliant.
The laid-back energy absolutely radiates through the track. It’s music made in the moment, for the moment—a refreshing ethos in an industry obsessed with overproduction.
The song itself seems built for golden hour moments: lounging on a balcony, windows down on a coastal drive, or even a dance party in your kitchen when nobody’s watching. But there’s also something wistful underneath it all—a kind of yearning to capture a feeling that’s already slipping away, like the last day of vacation or the final frames of a film before the credits roll.

Julandjim cites an eclectic roster of inspirations, from Daft Punk and Four Tet to Jon Hopkins and Cerrone, plus that delicious undercurrent of ‘60s Brazilian bossa nova. You can hear all of it, but none of it sounds derivative. Instead, DISCO Summer Dreams feels like a collage of audio postcards from different decades and destinations, tied together with a distinctly modern sense of style and atmosphere.
And perhaps what’s most exciting is how much potential Julandjim shows even in just this one track. It’s got that rare mix of musical sophistication and emotional authenticity—you get the sense that they know exactly what they’re doing, but they’re also not taking it too seriously. It’s about the feeling, not the flash.
This is music that doesn’t beg for attention, it earns it—slowly drawing you in until you find yourself pressing repeat just to stay in the dream a little longer.
So, if you’re craving something a little bit different this summer—something lo-fi but lush, nostalgic but forward-looking—give DISCO Summer Dreams a spin. Whether you’re lying in a hammock, walking through a city at sunset, or dancing like nobody’s watching, Julandjim has made the soundtrack for your perfectly imperfect summer.
One thing’s for sure: Julandjim may be new on the scene, but they’re not just a vibe—they’re a whole mood. And we can’t wait to hear what comes next.
