It has always been said that nostalgia is that common meeting point that we all share equally. A place where a simple bath of memories is capable of brightening up the darkest and most distressed days. In Parallel Universe, Dsum transports us back to those times when the depth of old school house and techno nourished our spirits.
 
After launching the ‘BDR’ digital series on his own label Back Door Records, the Colombian DJ and producer returns with a new full-length album that perfectly encapsulates that deep attribute he has worked so well over the years. Parallel Universe is made up of eleven tracks, which were the result of recording sessions worked between 2018 and 2020.
 
Inspired by the vast expressions of spatiality, the album conveys that unparalleled essence of the Detroit of yesteryear, an era when labels like Transmat and Metroplex elevated us in body and soul. “Aurora”, the opening track, deploys that robotic grooviness through the MOSTRO, an FM synthesizer assembled in the middle of the mountains of Medellín. “Delta”, “237 Miles” and “Mado”, on the other hand, showcase the deepness seasoning characteristic of Dsum, bringing back those timeless old school vibes from the windy city.
 
His favorite pick, “Night Decompression”, slowly assembles that dancefloor climax that makes you lose any notion of time in the midst of obscurity, a state where the music continues without any kind of prejudice.
 
Parallel Universe is, therefore, an album that keeps vivid a handful of sonic memories carved by an artist who refuses to compromise his creative authenticity. Through a much more mature and classic sound, programmed and sequenced by himself, Dsum shows the simplicity of his ideas, while embracing countless emotions that his space in time has brought with it.
