Floret Loret x Low Poly Release “Peregrine” via MORFLO RECORDS

by | Mar 30, 2023 | PREMIERE

The Morflo Records team has been working overtime to present us with their new fourth compilation album titled “Slow Down, Vol. 01.” This 17 track project is a representation of Mersiv’s more downtempo and melodic side of live performances.  Encompassing acts from the likes of Super Future , Mindex , Hullabaloo and more who are known for their psychedelic bass approach within their music production. Full compilation drop is scheduled for Friday March 31st so keep your eyes peeled if you want more. Today’s premiere features two individuals who we have the highest of respect for due to their continuous efforts to push the bar further and further for what one might expect in a freeform auditory experience. Floret Loret and Low Poly are two names you are bound to see time and time again, especially if they continue to provide this level of production within their music. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we think this song is what we like to call , a certified bop.

“Peregrine is a sequel to our last collab ‘Osprey.’ We wanted to write a heavy halftime track but also something that was melodic and had a dance floor rhythm. We’ve been working on several tunes together, and this one really stood out to us. We’ve bounced off several ideas to each other throughout the creative process and we really loved how this tune came out.”

DIVING DEEP W/ FLORET LORET & LOW POLY

1. How did you decide to get into making music? Was there a particular event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

Floret Loret:  I’ve been playing music since I was a kid, I picked up guitar around 13-14. I started off learning how to play metal and diving into the hardcore scene starting then and throughout college. My intro to EDM was in high school when I first heard DJ BAM BAM’s tune “Workout” on a MySpace playlist. It was a banger back in the day. From there I heard of other EDM acts like Deadmau5, skrillex back in 2008-2010, but I wasn’t focused on learning that style of music until halfway through college. Once I graduated, I then made a decision to pursue it. There wasn’t a particular event or a big moment for me that happened during that time that made me decide on this career, I wanted to try it out and at least give it a shot.

Low Poly: My parents got me started on piano lessons early, and I’ve jumped around instruments and DAWs my whole life. More than anything else though, I have distinct memories of finding albums like “Good New For People Who Love Bad News” and “In Utero” as a young teenager and being completely absorbed by them. A big turning point was after I graduated college – I spent a few months working a sales job and hated every second. I quit that as soon as I could and started interning at a recording studio afterwards.

2. You live, breathe, and eat bass music. Do you listen to anything else when you are away from everything? What would your top 5 non-bass artists be? Top 5 bass artists?

Floret Loret: Yes, I love listening to a wide range of music from metal and chill music. Top 5 favorite artists in those categories together would be: Knocked Loose, Animals as Leaders, Gorjira, Kali Uchis and Jadu Heart. For bass acts, I would pick Koan Sound, Eprom, Ekcle, Chee, & Culprate.

Low Poly: I love this question. Most of the music I’m passionate about incorporates bass music or dance music elements – I’m not sure I can cleanly draw a line between the two, but let me take a crack at it. Here are some recent favs and obvious GOATs:

Bass:
G Jones
SOPHIE
Ivy Lab

The Caracal Project
QZB

Non Bass:
100 gecs
MssingNo
Flying Lotus
Yeat
Varg2™

3. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?
Floret Loret: Take time to learn and hone your craft. There’s no need to rush anything, you’re making art. Also take breaks. You can’t expect every piece you make to be amazing. You’re going to struggle and face many obstacles, but it’s more about what you learn from these challenges and keep getting back up. 
Low Poly: If you want to get started then all you need to do is crack a DAW, open YouTube and get ready to grind it out. You have to throw yourself in the process, but also find the time and space to learn about who you are and what you want to accomplish. Get therapy. Take care of your mind and body. Set goals. Absorb as much art as you can, and create constantly. The biggest lesson I’ve ever learned is that you need to trust that you are where you need to be at any given moment, and that when you eventually find something that feels special you need to grab on to it and run with it as far as you can. That and how to make a reese bass.
4. What’s next for your project? What plans do you have in the near future that you hope to accomplish within your career as an artist?
Floret Loret:  I am currently working on an LP. This is probably my biggest project to date that I am most excited about and have been looking forward to for a few years now. These tunes mean so much to me and I can’t wait to share it with the world.
Low Poly: Right now I’m working to wrap up some more collab business and determine what I want my next long-form project to look like. It’s tough to say right now if it will be an EP or a mix or something else, but we’ll figure it out.
