Skylin3: From Milan’s Club Scene to Global Dance Floors

At just 27 years old, Skylin3 is proving to be a dynamic force in the electronic music world, blending a deep appreciation for his roots with an insatiable drive for innovation. Born in Milan in 1997, Skylin3 (real name withheld by request) started his career in the city's bustling club scene, quickly earning a reputation as a standout DJ. His early sets, infused with infectious energy and keen attention to the crowd, became staples in Milan’s best clubs.

But Skylin3 wasn’t content with just spinning records. He wanted to create his own. His journey into production began with house music, where he found his voice in crafting melodic yet danceable tracks. His debut single, "Baldoria,"released on Revuelta Records, hinted at his potential to bring people together on the dance floor. From there, his career took off, marked by a string of notable releases like "Funky Train" on Noface and "I Like To Move It" on Sony Music Italia, a collaboration with Adam Clay that made waves in the pop-house world.

Skylin3’s music is defined by his ability to merge genres and experiment with sounds. His discography includes tech house club bombs like "Symphony," featuring a Beethoven sample, and pop-house tracks like "We Don't Wanna Go"on Which Bottle. Most recently, "Jumpin', Jumpin'," a high-energy tech house reinterpretation of Destiny's Child’s classic, showcased his knack for breathing new life into iconic tracks.

The Milanese producer isn’t afraid to take risks. "All That She Wants," a tech house spin on the Ace of Base classic, climbed to the top 50 in Beatport’s global charts and reached the top 20 in the tech house category. This ability to reimagine beloved songs without losing their essence has earned him support from industry giants such as Don Diablo, Kryder, CID, and Bingo Players.

“I’ve always been careful with the samples I use,” he says. “It’s important not to distort the original track while still adding my style to make it fresh and exciting.”

Despite his success, Skylin3 remains grounded. His mission is clear: to unite generations and styles on the dance floor. “With my music, I want to bring together all ages and styles,” he shares. “For me, music—like life—should have no distinctions.”

This philosophy is evident in his collaborations and the care he takes in building relationships with labels and artists. For example, his work with Glasgow Underground, one of the most respected labels in house music, has been a partnership built on mutual respect and creativity.

Skylin3’s latest release, "Bamboleo," represents a bold new chapter in his career. A tech house reinterpretation of the iconic Latin track, the single features vocals by Raffa Fl and the vibrant energy of Cumbiafrica. The result is a song that bridges cultures, blending Skylin3’s signature style with the pulsating rhythms of Latin music.

Reworking a song with such a rich legacy wasn’t an easy task. “Reinterpreting this song was not easy at all,” Skylin3 admits. “It’s one of the best Latin tracks in the world, in my opinion, and I wanted to make sure my version honored its heritage while giving it a new life in the tech house world.”

The magic of "Bamboleo" lies in its intricate production. Skylin3 focused on creating a rhythmic foundation that captured the essence of Latin music, layering vibrant percussions to complement the guitars produced by Cumbiafrica. Raffa Fl’s dynamic vocal performance adds a fresh dimension, blending seamlessly with the track’s driving bassline and infectious groove.

“A very firm, indelible memory in my mind is the production process of the rhythmic part,” Skylin3 shares.

“I wanted to fit many percussions reminiscent of the Latin world so that they would blend well with the guitars. The bassline brought incredible harmony and movement, while Lina’s voice from Cumbiafrica elevated the track to another level.”

Skylin3 took a calculated risk in using such a beloved sample, but his thoughtful approach paid off.

“Sometimes working with certain samples is a risk,” he explains. “You’re dealing with songs that are already perfect, but when you reinterpret them successfully, the result can be something incredible on a global level.”

For Skylin3, "Bamboleo" isn’t just another track; it’s an emotional journey. “Every time ‘Bamboleo’ drops on the dance floor, I go back to the production process, reliving the emotions I felt while creating it,” he says. “Hearing it today while everyone is dancing fills my heart with happiness and satisfaction.”

The song has resonated with audiences, offering a fresh take on a classic that feels both nostalgic and modern. Skylin3’s ability to balance respect for the original with his own artistic vision makes "Bamboleo" a standout track, designed for the club but with universal appeal.

As Skylin3 continues to push boundaries, he is already working on new projects. These include tracks that draw from R&B and hip-hop samples, demonstrating his versatility and ambition. His collaborations with artists like Raffa Fl and Cumbiafrica highlight his commitment to exploring new sounds and cultures, ensuring his music remains fresh and relevant.

“Collaborating with artists of such skill pushes me to achieve great results,” he reflects. “It’s a learning experience that always pays off.”

Skylin3’s journey from Milan’s clubs to the global stage is a testament to his talent and determination. With a growing catalog of hits and a clear vision for the future, he is poised to leave a lasting mark on the electronic music scene.

"Bamboleo" is more than just a song—it’s a celebration of Skylin3’s ability to connect cultures, genres, and generations. As the track continues to dominate dance floors worldwide, it’s clear that Skylin3’s star is only rising.

In his own words: “Music is about bringing people together. With ‘Bamboleo,’ I wanted to give new life to a song that already had so much energy and meaning. Seeing people dance and connect to it is the greatest reward.”

With his unwavering passion and bold creativity, Skylin3 is undoubtedly an artist to watch, ready to redefine what it means to be a global DJ and producer in the modern era.
