KOMBY DOT IO – TOMORROW LAND NEVER END
KOMBY DOT IO turn a very specific memory into a very modern electronic statement with “Tomorrow Land Never End’ (a 5 minute progressive house single). It’s a track inspired by the very first Tomorrowland festival in Belgium in 2006. It’s not a piece of music that’s just going to be about the past in a nostalgic way. It’s about the actual experience of that festival and the impact that that experience had on the development of electronic dance music. There’s a very personal aspect to the concept which gives it a real identity beyond just being a piece of festival music.
Euphoric energy of the EDM golden era meets some of the underground influences to create a real meeting point between two periods of electronic music. It’s a very interesting base to build on, a track which is clearly drawing on two decades of experience in the field but which is still very much in the progressive house direction. Jérémy’s voice adds another layer to the piece and is a real emotional component to a piece that’s otherwise all about the feel and the energy of the music.
Created over two absolutely intense months in the studio, “Tomorrow Land Never End” has the feel of a piece that’s very much in tune with its inspiration. It’s a five minute piece so there’s plenty of room for the various influences to come together and the core concept remains very much the same throughout. It’s the link between the festival memories, the musical influences and the current day creative output that gives it a real sense of purpose rather than just being another track that’s essentially built around a bunch of EDM references.
What’s so striking is the notion that certain musical experiences can have a continuing influence on your creative output long after the original event has occurred. KOMBY DOT IO captures that perfectly in a piece of work which is a tribute to the beginning of a personal relationship with electronic music and how that relationship has evolved. “Tomorrow Land Never End” is a piece of work which is very much a celebration of that enduring inspiration. It’s progressive house, it’s melodic EDM, it’s got that underground feel and it’s a release which looks back but is very much in the present.
