“But this track feels special. It’s euphoric, super fun, and blends styles in a way that feels fresh.”
Beneath its peak-time energy lies a beating heart.
“At the heart, it’s a love song — cheesy maybe, but real. It reflects how I’m feeling right now: inspired, over the moon, and just on fire creatively.”
That openness is what defines Picasso’s current state. In conversation, there’s no pretense — only a desire to peel back layers. He speaks of identity
with a maturity contradiction. earned through The Picasso name, he acknowledges, casts a long shadow.
“It’s a double-edged sword. People expect greatness, or they’re quick to judge. But I’m not trying to be Picasso, I’m just writing my own story.”
What makes this moment so poignant is that for the first time in his career, Picasso is no longer performing for others — not the crowd, not the industry, not his family name. He’s performing in alignment with himself.
“These days, I’m more intentional. I want to create things that make sense, that can last. For a while, I was just putting out music to fill a void, chasing the wrong things. Now, it’s about building a legacy on my terms, while still honoring the one I carry.”
This isn’t reinvention for reinvention’s sake —
it’s resurrection. Sound has become a form of spiritual clarity, and club culture, a crucible for truth-telling. In house and techno, Picasso has found a refuge from hypervisibility — and in their grooves, a way to reframe not just how he is seen, but how he sees himself.
PARADOX AS PRACTICE, COMMUNITY AS CANVAS
What makes Florian Picasso’s recent trajectory so compelling is not simply the shift in sonic aesthetics but the philosophical infrastructure supporting it. Beneath the propulsive kicks and atmospheric pads lies a deeper inquiry into duality — into the chaos required for transcendence.
“I’m all about paradox – you need contrast to feel anything real,” he explains.
“Happiness exists because sadness does, just like in music: it can’t be flat, it has to move and evolve. Like Nietzsche said, ‘One must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star.’”
This ethos finds an extended manifestation in Dekadance, Picasso’s boundary-pushing platform that has matured from artist collective to full-blown cultural movement. At its core, Dekadance is not simply a brand or event series — it is a provocation, a statement against stagnation.
“Dekadance has always been about pushing boundaries — musically, artistically, and culturally,” he says.
“We’re not here to follow trends or chase headliners. We’re
building something inclusive, and creatively driven.”
There’s a quiet radicalism in this approach — one that values curation as a form of activism. In an industry increasingly commodified by algorithmic taste and commercial sameness, Picasso and his collaborators are carving out space for the raw, the innovative, and the overlooked. Dekadance functions not just as a party, but as a cultural apparatus.
“Dekadance curates experiences that go beyond the club and into broader cultural contexts.”
That same spirit fuels DKD Records, the imprint now serving as the label arm of Dekadance. Here, Picasso assumes the role of curator, not gatekeeper — an important distinction.
“As a creative curator, I’m building a community that thrives on collaboration and creative freedom,” he explains.
“It’s about bringing people together who push boundaries and inspire each other, creating a space where innovation and artistic expression can truly flourish.”

His productions oscillate between softness and tension, sensuality and structure, creating a dynamic sonic language that resists static interpretation.
“One day it’s heavy and intense, the next it’s euphoric and light — but always true to the same vision. Life isn’t static, and neither is my music.”
In a time when digital culture often demands coherence to the point of homogeneity, Picasso leans into contradiction as his creative engine, embracing emotional ambiguity not as a flaw, but as a form of truth.
