The place do you go after a brighter future?
When beginning to consider what comes subsequent for Massive 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 Massive Gigantic, and what am I now all of those years later? What has been the principle 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 had been and what we had been about as a band—and as folks, in the end. We wish to, and needed to, assist folks and alter folks’s lives by means of our music and in and round our musical group and our communities the place we dwell.
I assumed 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 mild, 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 inner vitality activated. It represents soulful ignition, emotional depth and artistic spark.
The place A Brighter Future seeks mild, Fluorescence turns into it. The longer term grew to become 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 Massive 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 moving into the current and the longer term—all of the whereas understanding the surroundings that we exist inside.
The primary two singles that we’ve not too long ago launched are a press release into that agency foot prior to now and what has gotten us to the place we’re right this moment, with a singular 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 singular, soulful twist to the music.
The remainder of the music on Fluorescence continues to evolve and push the boundaries of what Massive Gigantic is all about.
We’ve invited longtime buddies and next-gen producers alongside for the experience 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 group of listeners, artists, followers and common lovers of music and group.
We look ahead to everybody listening to the total physique of labor that’s Fluorescence, and we are able to’t wait to get again out on the highway and play this music—in addition to your entire favourite Massive Gigantic music—dwell and direct to you.
