Independent electronic producer Tienthyule is steadily carving out his own lane in the melodic EDM space. Based in San Jose, California, the rising artist—born Keon Van Khong—is part of a new wave of producers who discovered dance music online and built their sound through experimentation rather than the traditional festival circuit.
His upcoming single “Daydreaming,” arriving May 22, reflects that journey. Built around uplifting melodies and emotional progressions, the track draws from the classic melodic EDM energy that shaped a generation of producers while presenting it through tienthyule’s own reflective perspective. The result is a track designed to capture that familiar feeling many fans associate with early progressive and melodic house: freedom, nostalgia, and the simple joy of getting lost in a moment.
Tienthyule’s path into electronic music began with lo-fi production. Early in his career, he used mellow beats as a creative outlet, gradually developing his skills on platforms like Soundtrap and BandLab before transitioning into FL Studio. That shift opened the door to deeper sound design and more ambitious compositions, ultimately guiding him toward the melodic house and EDM style he continues to explore today.
Influences from artists such as Avicii, Tobu, and Martin Garrix, along with the melodic catalog of NCS, helped shape his approach to songwriting. Instead of focusing purely on festival drops, tienthyule leans into emotional storytelling through melody, allowing atmosphere and progression to drive the experience.
Over the past few years, he has steadily expanded his catalog. His 2023 EP Tienthyule Lofi, Vol. 1 introduced listeners to his early production style, while the 2025 album Colors showcased a broader sonic palette. Singles like “Destination” and “Tycoon” further hinted at his shift toward more polished electronic productions.
With “Daydreaming,” Tienthyule continues that evolution. The track embraces melodic house’s uplifting spirit while encouraging listeners to slow down, reflect, and enjoy the moment—an approach that aligns closely with the emotional core of his music.
As an independent artist, Tienthyule is focused on building his sound and audience organically. Rather than chasing trends, he continues refining his style track by track, aiming to create music that resonates personally with listeners who connect with melodic, emotion-driven EDM.
“Daydreaming” arrives on all major streaming platforms on May 22, marking another step forward for the San Jose producer as he continues shaping his identity in the electronic music world.
