As Dim Fumes, bass duo Thrived and score composer No Bloom Now come together to create an exquisite blend of club sound and pop-influenced storytelling.
With numerous releases on Voitax, Club Qu and others, Thrived have proven their ability to produce fresh yet seasoned tunes, making them an integral part of Berlin's underground scene for years. No Bloom Now's work as a composer for film, theatre and games over the past few years has given him experience in writing strong themes and emotionally complex melodies.
As a band, Dim Fumes bring together the vocal points of both projects to create danceable, melancholic melodies full of euphoria. No Bloom Now's intimate vocals take centre stage,
Thrived's dense drum aesthetic builds the fundament in which the three create a melange best described as ambient bass-pop.
Their very first single, Bright Spots, can be seen as a North Star for the sonic direction the three are heading. The gnarled yet clear drum work and angelic lead vocal feel like they are embedded in a sea of lush, warm pads and atmospheres, pulling you into deep excitement. The grip and pull of this poppy but underground track won't let you go until the very end, leaving you wanting to dive right back in. With bright spots, the trio prove their ability to grab attention in private, club and/or festival contexts, presenting a combination we'll hopefully see out and about soon. Keep an eye out: Dim Fumes!

This album surfs and ripples through the aquatic landscape, driven by mangled soundscapes and skewed drum breaks that concocts a dizzying experience altogether. It’s an abstract journey to submerge yourself into. Trazziiee
