Carlita & Malive Drop Hypnotic New Single “Solar Skin” Featuring jasper.wav

If you’ve been following electronic music over the last few years, you already know Carlita does things on her own terms. The Turkish-Italian DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist has carved out a distinct lane for herself by bringing real instrumentation, cinematic texture, and a worldly perspective straight into club culture.

Now, she’s returning with a gorgeous new single, “Solar Skin” featuring jasper.wav—a collaborative piece alongside producer Malive, dropping via the Beleza imprint.

From the CORE Stage to the Global Stage

If this track sounds familiar, you might have caught it during Carlita and Malive’s back-to-back set at the iconic CORE stage at Tomorrowland, where it instantly became a standout moment of the festival.

Born out of creative sessions during Carlita’s travels in Brazil, “Solar Skin” leans heavily into a hypnotic, groove-driven atmosphere. It pairs Malive’s sleek production sensibilities with the dreamy, magnetic vocals of jasper.wav (Jasper Erkens). It’s the kind of track that works just as well driving down an open coastal highway as it does deep in a festival crowd at 2:00 AM.

Why Carlita’s Sound Hits Differently

A lot of modern dance music can start to blur together, but Carlita brings a completely different toolset to the studio. Before she was headlining major festivals and clubs around the world, she spent years training as a classical musician.

• Real Instruments, Real Roots: She isn’t just dropping loops; she plays drums, cello, bass, and electric guitar, weaving those organic elements right into her electronic framework.

• Travel and Texture: Instead of relying strictly on standard digital plugins, her tracks are packed with real hardware synths, custom-sampled instruments, and field recordings captured during her time on the road.

Because of that approach, “Solar Skin” feels tactile and alive. It breathes a little differently than your average club release, giving you something rich to listen to whether you’re analyzing the mix on headphones or feeling the bassline hit live.
