John Alto has never been afraid of reinvention, but with Easy Love his latest release on Swedish House Mafia’s SUPERHUMAN imprint he arrives with a sound as polished as a mirrored dance floor. Swapping his trademark heavy bass lines for something buoyant and undeniably chic, the Los Angeles producer leans into a groove that feels drenched in nostalgia yet charged with tomorrow’s energy. At the heart of the track is Swedish vocalist and producer Ayla, whose velvety delivery turns Alto’s production into something cinematic less about spectacle, more about allure.
The collaboration didn’t start in a glossy studio but with a chance online discovery: Alto stumbled across Ayla’s voice, fell into its texture, and built Easy Love around it before they even met. Months later, when Ayla flew to Los Angeles, the session wasn’t about invention but completion fusing Alto’s neon-lit beat with her raw, genre bending tone. The track resonates like an artifact from a parallel 2025, where Studio 54 never closed and the fashion crowd still moved in sync beneath disco balls and strobe lights.
With co signs from Alesso, David Guetta, and Swedish House Mafia, Alto has already carved his name into the new echelon of electronic music. But Easy Love feels like a statement of intent: a refusal to be boxed in, a pivot from darkness toward something sleek, sophisticated, and versatile. It’s the kind of release that doesn’t just hit the charts it slips into the cultural fabric, the kind of track you’d expect to hear both on a Paris runway and in the after hours of Brooklyn warehouses. Alto isn’t chasing a trend; he’s tailoring the sound of now.
