That is an opinion column. The ideas and viewpoints expressed are these of the writer, Dominic Lalli of the influential digital music duo Huge Gigantic.
The place do you go after a brighter future?
When beginning to consider what comes subsequent for Huge Gigantic, my thoughts instantly goes again in time and I’m wondering, “What has this all been about? Who was I again then once we began Huge Gigantic, and what am I now all of those years later? What has been the primary theme that’s been driving this practice all through the method?”
I begin to consider how the phrases “Brighter Future” appeared to begin to outline who we have been and what we have been about as a band—and as individuals, finally. We wish to, and needed to, assist individuals and alter individuals’s lives by way of our music and in and round our musical neighborhood and our communities the place we dwell.
I believed to myself, “What’s the extension of a ‘Brighter Future,’ and what occurs after that? What’s the following story to inform on this journey?”
A phrase got here to thoughts: “Fluorescence.” In essence, a light-weight. Whereas Brighter Future expresses hope and positivity and a future that’s illuminated, “Fluorescence” is that gentle, and the brightness has arrived—and it’s glowing inside, within the current second. Fluorescence is the embodiment of the sunshine that Brighter Future promised.
Fluorescence is inside power activated. It represents soulful ignition, emotional depth and artistic spark.
The place A Brighter Future seeks gentle, Fluorescence turns into it. The long run turned brighter, and now we’re glowing in it—softly, vividly, unexpectedly.
Having the ability to step again and look deeply into what I needed to create transferring ahead with Huge Gigantic, I made a decision that with Fluorescence I needed to have a foot firmly planted prior to now whereas, on the identical time, confidently entering into the current and the longer term—all of the whereas realizing the surroundings that we exist inside.
The primary two singles that we’ve just lately launched are an announcement into that agency foot prior to now and what has gotten us to the place we’re immediately, with a novel twist on that surroundings that we exist in as a band/DJ. Funky beats, sax and horn leads, and hard-hitting bass vibes all through—with a novel, soulful twist to the music.
The remainder of the music on Fluorescence continues to evolve and push the boundaries of what Huge Gigantic is all about.
We’ve invited longtime mates and next-gen producers alongside for the trip in a few of our favourite songs that we’ve created as we proceed on this journey to evolve and develop into creating music that’s particular and distinctive and actually resonates in our unimaginable neighborhood of listeners, artists, followers and basic lovers of music and neighborhood.
We sit up for everybody listening to the complete physique of labor that’s Fluorescence, and we are able to’t wait to get again out on the street and play this music—in addition to all your favourite Huge Gigantic music—dwell and direct to you.
We have been so excited to get again out and have fun with everybody.
