HINYL

Darien Gautier and Steven Homme’s collaboration began with a series of demos recorded in Steven’s apartment. Drawing inspiration from a shared love of disco and 80s pop, they focused on creating a smooth analog sound with infectious pop hooks. After two years of workshopping, they eventually formed HINYL. Featuring Gautier on vocals and Homme on production, HINYL (acronym : HE IS NOT YOUR LOVER) is an amalgamation of disco, funk, house, and R&B music of the late 20th-century with a modern edge. Their debut EP, “TECHNICOLOR”, showcased their sleek, funky sound with pop sensibilities. Their upcoming debut album, “Burning Desire”, will explore elements of 90s-2000s house, French house, and nu-disco. “Burning Desire” will be released on September 25, 2026.
