Welcome to ‘The Other Side Of The Moon’. The side we don’t see when we gaze longingly at the starry sky and wonder what our purpose is… The pilot, navigator and partner in vibes is Bona Fide, one of Belgrade’s most exciting new house and techno fusioneers. Having released on the likes of Anjunadeep, Kindisch and All Day I Dream, here the astronaut primes his rockets on Do Not Sit On The Furniture. A kindred spirit, it was only a matter of time before each other’s dreamy, escapist electronics came into orbit with each other. And boy, what an orbit…
Armed with just a humble piano, beats, pads and percussion, the young Serbian artist conjures maximum emotion, tension and soul with minimal ingredients. The title track takes off with a simple ivory stroke and a deep meditative groove. It seems the lunar flipside isn’t as dark as Pink Floyd once told us; there’s also hope, light and a calming soul. It’s backed up by ‘Once Upon A Sunrise’ where similar motifs take us even further into the light. Hypnotic, enduring and laced with that contemplative uplift we’re all seeking right now, it takes us from the moon right back to earth in a glow of solar rays.
Finally we conclude with ‘Los Hijos’. Translating to ‘Children’, this one is all about the future and the world we pass on to the next generation. The most dramatic piece of the release, once again we’re swirled in a world of pianos but with a much stronger sense of urgency. There’s still a sense of hope but it’s compounded by an urgency that we all need to consider right now if we want the next generation to stare at the same starry sky, too.
You can now listen to the full premiere of the title track ‘The Other Side Of The Moon’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
