DI*ove – DI*ido (Digital EP

While I hadn’t entirely forgotten about DI*ove, it feels like ages since I last encountered this Belgian EBM project. In late 2024, they returned with a new EP featuring five tracks. True to their roots, the influences remain steeped in solid, danceable EBM, driven by powerful and efficient basslines. The vocals take on a slightly eerie tone, complemented by robotic effects that add depth to the production. Although this EP isn’t my personal favorite from DI*ove, I still believe they are a highly underrated Belgian act. Their work deserves far more recognition, and I can warmly recommend giving this EP a listen. (Rating:7½).

Inferno Sound Diaries

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
