#44 Feat. New Releases in Melodic House & Techno

We are thrilled to announce the debut release of "Insomnia," the first track from the innovative new project, As Ide, under the newly established label, Aside Music. This project and label are the brainchildren of renowned techno artist Spartaque, who is leveraging his two decades of experience in the music industry to venture into a more commercially appealing sound. "Insomnia" is a hauntingly beautiful deep house track that delves into the restless nights of sleeplessness, a theme many can relate to. The track's lyrics reflect the internal battles and the eerie tranquility of late-night wakefulness. The song captures the essence of those lonely hours where one's mind is flooded with thoughts and reflections, creating a soundscape that is both captivating and introspective. The creation of "Insomnia" was a deeply personal journey. Inspired by countless sleepless nights and the introspective thoughts that accompany them, As Ide sought to transform these experiences into a musical narrative. The process involved experimenting with deep, resonant basslines and ethereal synths to mirror the paradoxical calm and turbulence of insomnia. The lyrics were crafted to evoke a sense of longing and unease, perfectly complementing the track's ambient tones. Aside Music marks a significant milestone in Spartaque's illustrious career. With this new venture, he aims to combine his extensive knowledge and expertise in the techno genre with a fresh, commercial sound that appeals to a broader audience. "Insomnia" represents the first step in this exciting journey, promising more innovative and boundary-pushing music in the future. We invite you to immerse yourself in the enigmatic world of "Insomnia" and stay tuned for more releases from As Ide and Aside Music, where the past meets the present to create the future of music.
