MEDUZA, HEVOLVE & Beanfield – Tides (feat. Bajka) [AETERNA]

Label bosses MEDUZA return to AETERNA in a ground shifting remake of the seminal classic dance record ‘Tides’. Joining forces with compatriot upstarts HEVOLVE, in their debut release, and with the original artist collaboration of Beanfield and vocalist Bajka, Meduza have chosen this record for its hypnotic and mystical tones, to reinvigorate with their signature sound of epic soundscapes and hard hitting electronic beats.

After an incredible start of the year, which saw Meduza soundtrack and perform at the UEFA Euro 2024 football tournament, in front of over 75,000 in attendance and hundreds of millions at home, the summer lends itself to Meduza returning to their passion projects where they can dig deep into their inspirations and musical vices to provide euphoria for the clubs of Ibiza and the world, collaborating with new artists HEVOLVE and veteran German maestros Beanfield pay testament to this ethos, which is afterall the cornerstone of house music.

Tides is a harmonic culmination of wandering, atmospheric and wistful vocals, provided superbly by Bajka in her original recording, married up with the straight up and driving electronic drums and synths, reminiscent of the original, but toughened up to modern sensibilities. The real tingle inducing moment, as ever with Meduza, comes in the breakdown of melodic keys and moog bass, layered against plucking synths and short but goosebump inducing stabs of the iconic ‘Meduza bell’ sound before stripping back to the drums in an epic release of the emotions of the break.

Meduza comment that “Tides is one of the tracks we remember and love from our time listening to, creating and playing dance music. It was a real honour to get the approval of Beanfield to use their original parts, and we feel its that dna in the record that makes it so amazing every time we play it to the dancefloor.” HEVOLVE added that “We have always loved the original record by Beanfield. It is one of the most unique and memorable club tracks we have ever listened to, and over the years it has become a timeless classic. The song consistently creates a special moment in any DJ set, captivating the crowd’s attention. We felt inspired to try giving our own spin to this masterpiece.”
