Sylvaner’s first single, “Plastic Love,” is a moody late-night confession wrapped in pulsing house rhythms. Born and raised in Las Vegas, he grew up around vinyl through the record shops his father owns, but has always approached music like a conversation. In this release, he steers the conversation to more shadowy, intimate terrain.
Raised in a house where genres melted as freely as tales, Sylvaner honed an ear for ambience at a young age. Music was not mere background noise, it was a connection. Before he emerged as an artist in his own right, he refined his craft by engineering for other artists and by learning to shape sound from behind the boards. Now, with “Plastic Love,” he put his technical intuition towards something then far more personal.
The track took shape as a murky, Chicago-house-influenced demo, something he graphically describes as feeling “like you were in the bathroom while the club was going on outside.” That image lingers on the finished product. There’s an intentional distance in the production: muffled tension, echoing textures, and a steady pulse that’s at once inviting and isolating. It gets at that strange dualism of nightlife, awash in bodies but alone with your thoughts.
“Plastic Love” marks a boldly modern direction for Sylvaner. It’s darker, more dance-centric, and emotionally stabber than ever before. Yet beneath its churning clank lies a hushed vulnerability, a meditation on connection that may feel effectively artificial on the surface but taps deeply into what passes for a soul underneath. With this single, Sylvaner demonstrates that he’s not just curating sound anymore but stepping wholeheartedly into it without fear of the shadows having their say.
