Florian Picasso, a renowned DJ and music curator, operates at the intersection of music, art, and fashion.

Recently, Florian’s sound has evolved to include a fusion of dark basslines, hip hop textures, and retro grooves, creating a raw yet emotionally charged language that invigorates the club scene. His recent releases on respected labels like Diynamic, FLUID, and RAW showcase this shift toward a more progressive direction.

She believes in the power of music to create connection and joy, seamlessly intertwining nostalgic influences with contemporary intensity in her recent projects. Speaking about her collaboration with Florian, Mija reflects on their immediate connection through the track’s uplifting spirit.
“Florian and I met in Switzerland during the summer. He asked me to be on the song, and I loved what I first heard and was excited to be included. The song has all the bright energy of summer, dancing and food with friends… all things I associate with Florian.”
This shared enthusiasm shines through in the final product, making the song both a personal testament and a universally relatable anthem. Fortified by this collaborative energy, “Dance Like You Mean It” is set to resonate deeply within the hearts and souls of listeners worldwide.
