Lucas Reyes opens up on his new artistic chapter, ‘WEIGHTLESS’, and evolving sound

Active in the electronic music scene since 2006, Lucas Reyes has steadily built a name for himself through a sound rooted in the dancefloor while constantly evolving with time. From early releases like ‘The Sense Of Life’, ‘Push Me’, and ‘My Insolence’ to multiple entries in the Beatport Top 100, his journey has been shaped by consistency, refinement, and a clear understanding of club music dynamics.

Over the years, his productions have landed on respected labels including Subliminal Records, Stealth Records, Housession, and Pool E Music, while earning support from key figures such as Carl Cox, Bob Sinclar, and Erick Morillo. At the same time, his ability to balance groove with emotion has allowed him to remain relevant across different phases of the electronic scene.

Now in 2026, Reyes enters a new chapter. With a deeper, more cinematic direction centered around melodic house, his latest release ‘WEIGHTLESS’ signals a shift toward a more personal and emotionally driven sound.

We caught up with Lucas Reyes to talk about this transition, the role of emotion in his music, and how his sound continues to evolve both in the studio and on the dancefloor.

Hello Lucas, thank you for joining us! Could you provide us with an .1 insight into the main inspirations/influences that led to your chosen career pathway in music?

My path into music was never driven by one specific influence, but by a constant search for emotion. I’ve always been drawn to records that create a feeling you can’t fully explain that moment when a track takes control of the room.

Electronic music became the perfect space for that. It allows you to combine physical energy with something deeper and more personal. That balance has shaped my entire journey.

You mention that your release ‘WEIGHTLESS’ represents a new .2 artistic chapter for you. What inspired this shift in direction, and how does it reflect where you are creatively in 2026?

“Weightless” is less a track and more a turning point. I reached a stage where repeating formulas didn’t make sense anymore. I needed to rebuild something from a more honest place. This new chapter is about intention. Less about making tracks, more about creating meaning.

You described ‘WEIGHTLESS’ starting from a piano line that immediately triggered a strong emotional reaction. Why was it important for you to place emotion at the center of this production?

The piano line wasn’t planned it just happened. And what struck me was how immediate the emotion felt. In electronic music, we often design reactions. Here, I wanted to capture one. Because at the end of the day: Music shouldn’t just fill silence. It should make you feel something.

Your recent sound feels deeper and more cinematic compared to earlier releases. How did you approach building that atmosphere and sonic identity in the studio?

I stopped thinking in terms of track structure and started thinking in terms of space. Silence became as important as sound. The bassline brings the weight and the club energy that’s part of my DNA but everything around it builds atmosphere and tension. It’s a balance between cinematic storytelling and dancefloor functionality.

This project also represents a visual and artistic reset. What changes can fans expect in terms of imagery, aesthetics, and the overall identity of the project?

The visual identity is built around a deep blue, almost like night or space. It reflects the music: something immersive, minimal, and emotional. In a world saturated with content, I wanted clarity and focus. This project is not just about sound it’s about creating a universe people can step into.

Your music is strongly connected to the dancefloor. How do you imagine this new sound translating from the studio into club environments like Ibiza?

My roots are in club culture, so the dancefloor is always part of the equation. But with this project, I’m interested in those moments where people are not just dancing — they’re feeling something together. Ibiza is one of the few places where that can still happen at a very deep level.

With the way audiences consume music today – constantly scrolling and jumping between tracks – do you think electronic music still allows space for emotional storytelling?

We don’t lack music today. We lack attention. But I believe emotion still cuts through. When something is real, people feel it even in a few seconds. Electronic music moves fast. Emotion doesn’t.

If you had to define this new chapter of your project in one sentence, what would it be?

I’m not trying to make tracks. I’m trying to create moments.

You have been active in the electronic music scene since 2006. Looking back, what moments or milestones shaped you the most as an artist?

Time.

Starting in 2006 gave me the chance to experience different phases of electronic music from more underground movements to more global and commercial moments. Each period had its own energy, its own codes.

Being part of that evolution taught me something essential: trends are constantly changing, but identity is what keeps you relevant in the long run. Some of the most important moments in my journey weren’t necessarily the biggest ones, but the ones where I understood more clearly who I was as an artist. That process takes time — and I think it never really stops.

Over the years your music has received support from artists like Carl Cox, Bob Sinclar, and Erick Morillo. What does that kind of recognition mean to you as a producer?

It’s always meaningful, of course.

These are artists who have shaped the culture in different ways, so having their support at any point in your journey is something you don’t take for granted.

But more than validation, I see it as a reminder. A reminder that the most important thing is to stay true to your own direction. Because in the end, recognition can come and go what really stays is the authenticity of what you create, and the connection it builds over time.

Finally, what message would you like listeners to take away when they .4 hear this new record for the first time?

I don’t expect people to instantly understand the track. I just hope they take a moment to listen. Even once. Because sometimes, one piece of music can stay with you longer than you expect.
