Italian melodic techno duo Fideles remixed single Otherside from Monolink‘s album Under Darkening Skies.
Fideles‘ heavy bass and melodic riffs have given the track an energetic, clubby alter-ego that instantly creates dance floor hysteria when combined with Monolink‘s highly emotional lyrics and soothing vocals. The nearly seven-minute-long track transcends through a journey of powerful soundscapes, jam-packed with tribalistic synth hooks. The Italian duo’s subtle elements layered throughout, gradually building up emotion and energy as it progresses, while led by a driving bassline. The remix perfectly complements Monolink’s lyrics, which ask, “Am I losing my mind? Welcome to the other side” with the track’s bassline slowly building up until the almost otherworldly hook comes into play.
Fideles has already made an impact on the global dance music scene with releases on labels as diverse as Bedrock, Poker Flat, Stil Vor Talent, and, more recently, Afterlife, Innervisions, and Correspondant. With their signature sound of combining a potent mix of mesmerizing layers, hypnotic percussion, and euphoric swells, Fideles have drawn the interest of the underground scene’s most influential names such as Laurent Garnier, Solomun, and Job Jobse.
Their single “Resonant” was included on Tale Of Us’ fabric97 compilation CD in 2018, and “Lotus” was included on Afterlife’s ‘Realm Of Consciousness‘ Compilation.
With over a dozen years of experience under their belts, Fideles is only looking up, with more of their timeless pieces set to enchant dance floors around the world.
Singer-songwriter and electronic music producer from Germany Monolink has become a household name in the scene as a fascinating and versatile musician with a song structure that compels the forward thrust of electronic rhythms. Guitar chords merge into synthetic pad sounds, hypnotic bass vibrations meet emotional vocal parts, and passionate physicality meets sublime stimulation for the mind.
