With a sound that bends dimensions and a vision rooted in rich, cinematic world-building, Floret Loret is emerging as a standout talent in experimental bass music.

Fresh off a guest mix for Adrenaline and a milestone celebration of 10K followers on SoundCloud, we caught up with him to dive deeper into the roots of his sound, the art of collaboration, and the evolving future of bass music.

From fantasy maps to sci-fi scenes, here’s what he had to say.

Hey Floret Loret, how are you today?

Hello! I’m doing well, keeping busy with a bunch of different projects!

You’ve carved out a distinct space in experimental bass. What first drew you to this sound, and how did your journey as a producer begin?

I first started listening to Skrillex, Noisia, Flume, and Porter Robinson between 2010 and 2014 during my college years. That was my first introduction to electronic music – how they made it, what tools they used, and so on. It wasn’t until 2015 that I started getting into music production and learning how to actually make those kinds of sounds. As the years went on, I picked up some new tips and tricks. The deeper I got into it, the more I discovered other artists such Tsuruda, Chee, G Jones, & Eprom. Their unique production style really piqued my interest, and that’s when I started leaning more into that kind of sound.

From your perspective, where is bass music headed? Are there any shifts or trends you’re particularly excited about, or wary of?

I think it can go in a lot of different directions. Right now, I see both sides, the mainstream and more experimental niches, and it’s a beautiful thing. Mainstream bass acts can introduce new audiences to the scene and help grow the community. That often leads people to discover what they truly enjoy and (hopefully) inspires them to dive deeper and find underground artists.

On the niche side, I’m seeing artists really push their boundaries, creating incredibly unique and complex sounds with all the new technology that’s been coming out. I am excited to see where it goes.

You recently shared a fantasy-style map that ties into your artistic world-building. Where did the idea come from? Do you see your releases as landmarks in an ongoing narrative?

I’ve always wanted to incorporate world-building into my project. In my most recent album, “Tales of the Terrarium”, I created this atmospheric, experimental, neuro-bass style of music and tied it together with a story. I learned a lot throughout the process and really enjoy creating that world.

For this map, I wanted to keep this world-building feeling alive. The idea actually came from my manager, Brianna – she suggested it and quickly found someone to draft it. It was wonderful to see it come to fruition. Some of the landmarks are named after EPs or singles, which helps tie everything together and creates a more holistic vision for the project.

Speaking of world-building, if one of your tracks sound-tracked a scene in a sci-fi film, what would that scene look like? Set the scene for us: what’s happening, where are we, and what’s the vibe?

That is a tough question because I have a lot of songs that can fit different types of scenes. I tend to start with atmospheric elements that either build into a moment where it feels like the world is opening up or you’re being dropped into a fight.

If I had to choose one scene, I’d imagine an explorer is scaling a massive mountain or navigating some harsh, difficult terrain, pushing toward a key point in their mission. When they finally reach the summit, they stop to take in the view. The world stretches out in front of them – vast, mysterious, and full of possibilities. There’s this powerful mix of accomplishments and excitement as they stand there, staring at the horizon, embraced by a sense of wonder and the feeling that anything is possible from here.

You collaborated with Fake Two Piece on the recent VISION compilation. What excites you most about working with others, and how do you know when a collab is really clicking?

I love Fake Two Piece, they are phenomenal producers, and we’re both really proud of that collab!

For collabing, I like the creative exchanges between us – bouncing ideas back and forth, sharing WIPs, projects, or samples that we both might like. Even though we are on two different sides of the world, we found a way to make it work and really build something unique.

I think a collab really “clicks” when both artists genuinely love the track and are equally committed to making it the best that it can be.

What’s a recent creative breakthrough you’ve had – whether technical, musical, or mindset-related? Has anything changed the way you approach your craft lately?

Honestly, I would say taking time away from the studio has been super helpful. I tend to burn myself out when I obsess over something—whether it’s writing music, diving into a new game (like Oblivion, which I may or may not have spent 200 million hours on), or getting deep into TouchDesigner tutorials or visual art.

I’ll go hard on one thing for a few weeks until I hit a wall, then jump to something else and repeat the cycle. Lately, I’ve been more intentional about stepping back to reset and decompress. That time away helps me come back to the creative process with a clearer, refreshed mind, which is super important.

Tell us about the guest mix you put together for Adrenaline. What guided your track selection and flow? Was there a concept you followed, or a feeling you wanted to tap into?

I really wanted to showcase a bunch of new material I’ve been working on. In the first half of the mix, you’ll hear a lot of unreleased music from me, including some collabs with friends and a few recent releases from over the years.

As the mix progresses, it transitions into a selection of tracks that have inspired me, ranging from songs by close friends to music from some of my biggest idols. The idea was to create a journey that reflects where I’m at creatively, while also paying homage to the sounds and artists that have shaped my direction.

What’s next for you? Any upcoming projects or directions you’re especially hyped about this year?

I am currently working on a bunch of new music, got an upcoming release with Havoc next month, and a huge show in July!
