Lilya Mandre lands on KOOKOO Records with ‘Harper’, a moody and understated cut that sits somewhere between deep house, melodic and progressive house and indie dance. Built around a lead vocal, the track unfolds with patience and restraint, favouring atmosphere and tension over obvious payoffs. Analogue textures, synth lines and a subtle 80s-inspired aesthetic run throughout, giving the track a synthwave character while remaining firmly rooted in contemporary club music.
The production balances emotional depth with dancefloor sensibilities, pairing low-end grooves with melodic flourishes and a vocal performance that lingers after the track has ended.
Born and raised in Casablanca, Lilya Mandre channels her roots into a sound that lives at the intersection of indie dance, melodic house, and techno: hypnotic, cinematic, and possibly built for dancefloors that want to feel something.
In just a few years, Lilya has built a career that has taken her to various stages in electronic music. She has performed at Hï Ibiza, Day Zero, KOKO London, Club Chinois, MOGA Festival, Pacha Munich, Gate Club, and Unlimited Festival, while sharing stages with Swedish House Mafia, Black Coffee, Keinemusik, Rampa, Desiree, and Damian Lazarus.
Her releases on Crosstown Rebels, IN/ROTATION (Insomniac), Mind Of A Genius, and Madorasindahouse speak the same language as her sets, with new music forthcoming on Diynamic and IN/ROTATION.
