Du Nord's Take:

This project, by Belgian producer Side, is very different and interesting. However, I am not a big fan of this genre and ultimately felt it feel short of a quality standard. It does show talent and creativity, but I feel the producer has yet to "come into his own".

It almost has a chillout quality and is nice for listening, but I don't see any dance floor potential. It also almost sounds "too" programmed and needs a fresh organic quality to bump it up to the next level.

Perhaps the pick of the litter is "Tonight" with its house vocal sample and strings. Nice, but maybe too nice. I hope Side will get more adventuresome and take some real risks with his music in the future. Don't play it safe and hope for the best. Give it your all and don't hold back. Thanks, Side, and let's hear more in the future.
