Fulltone & Parallelle Drop Nu-Disco Single ‘Shining in the Dark'
Danceable and downright fun, the track features Barbara Lau's soul-inflected vocals, reminiscent of disco tracks from the 70s. May 19, 2025 Egyptian electronic virtuoso Fulltone has joined forces with Amsterdam-based French electronic duo Parallelle on a collaborative single, 'Shining in the Dark'. Parallelle are best known for their innovative approach, crafting a distinctive style that blends house and techno with various influences from jazz, soul to funk and disco. They often incorporate organic sounds, live instrumentations, and field recordings into their productions, reflecting their global travels and diverse musical influences. Refreshing, danceable, and downright fun, 'Shining in the Dark' sees Fulltone venturing a little bit away from his conventional productions, heavily drawing on 80s and 90s house music, and embracing more effects on vocals, to craft a sound that is as nostalgic as it is innovative. The track is packed with fat, funky lead lines, bumpy basslines, with that sweet 80s-inspired chord progressions, analogue-effected experimental loops, and that fleeting traces of the pop energy of bands like Depeche Mode. Around the 90-second mark, the track slows into a cosmic style of wonky synths before Barbara Lau's soul-inflected vocals enter, adding an extra-groovy dimension to the track's production, reminiscent of classic disco tracks from the 70s.
