DJ Piscine rewinds the future with “Born Again”

At a time when genre is irrelevant and memories rule, DJ Piscine plunges into a pool of pop vibes with their shimmering new single, “Born Again.” This debut single’s a sensory flashback through a fun-house mirror, soaked in glittering house beats and vocals that are sugary sweet and unwilling to take themselves too seriously. “Born Again” lures you in from the first few seconds, with slippery synths and an irresistible rhythm, which almost seems to challenge you not to dance. The vocals are playful, flirty, and cheeky, like a long-lost voicemail from the early 2000s, re-envisioned in surround sound.

But don’t be misled by his old school sensibility there’s nothing throwback about this act. DJ Piscine packages all those memories in forward-thinking production, making this track feel classic and refreshingly modern. “Born Again” is full of such contradictions, and its beauty is in them. It’s polished but spontaneous. Piscine straddles that polished high wire between pop candy and club land at each drop and build, a reminder that fun does not need to waste finesse. A technicolor soundscape glows with every carefully placed layer that still feels like that can’t teach cool. It’s the kind of music that fills the air around you.

“Born Again” is of that rare breed of summer tracks that feel rooted in something deeper. From the title down, there’s a sense of renewal here, a return to zero or one, as its title suggests a second chance that comes laser-wrapped in neon and driving basslines. On “Born Again,” DJ Piscine is creating their own tidal waves. Bold and unafraid to have fun, this is the type of debut that makes you want to press play again. If this is the sound of pop-house to come, we’re fully prepared to be reborn.
