Brannen’s debut release under his own name, Tulips, offers a warm and immersive take on melodic house, balancing club-ready rhythm with a strong emotional pull. Built around deep grooves, gentle synth warmth and gradually unfolding textures, the track feels designed for moments when atmosphere matters as much as movement.
What makes Tulips particularly engaging is the musicality behind its electronic framework. Brannen’s experience as a drummer and performer comes through in the arrangement, giving the production a natural sense of pacing and rhythmic detail. Rather than relying on constant intensity, the track develops patiently, allowing its melodies and layered sounds to create a satisfying sense of progression.
The release also represents an important new chapter for the Scottish artist. After years spent performing with bands and exploring electronic production under another alias, Brannen now brings those experiences together in a sound that sits comfortably between melodic, progressive and deeper house.
Tulips is a promising introduction to that direction: cinematic without becoming overly dramatic, polished yet organic, and well suited to late-night listening or extended DJ sets. It leaves plenty of room for anticipation about what Brannen will explore next.
