Alan Palomo, known for his contributions to the electronic music genre, particularly the subgenre of chillwave has just released World Of Hassle – his first solo project under his own name. This is a fantastic introduction to his world of innovative pop. Palomo’s ‘World Of Hassle’ is dreamy, nostalgic, and synth-heavy sound, often incorporating elements of lo-fi, disco, and pop.

His use of vintage synthesizers and drum machines, along with a hazy, ethereal production style, creates a distinct sonic atmosphere. While he may not have introduced entirely new concepts to electronic music, his approach to combining these elements is refreshing. One of Alan Palomo’s strengths is his ability to craft catchy and memorable melodies. His songs often have a hypnotic quality, drawing listeners in with their repetitive hooks and infectious rhythms. Tracks like “Stay-At-Home DJ” and “Club People” showcase this talent.
