The Other Side Records proudly presents Bayaat, a duo comprising Wilco and Dennis, formed three years ago. Both deeply immersed in music -drums, piano, occasional DJ gigs -so when the clubs closed for some time, they turned their focus to producing music closest to their hearts. Their sound, relatively unheard in Dutch clubs and festivals, resonates with them and their listeners. Embracing the festival and club hiatus as an opportunity for growth, they channeled their energy into learning and creating music, birthing Bayaat.
Flowing with positivity and minimal stress, Bayaat embodies the ethos of 'baijaat', a term derived from the Westland region, nestled between The Hague, Delft, and Rotterdam in the Netherlands. It loosely translates to 'well, it is fine the way it is', reflecting a carefree attitude. This philosophy permeates their music, urging listeners to live in the moment, riding the waves of positivity.
Their track '648 AM' holds special significance, being both the first and last created song in Dennis's childhood home in Westland, known as 'Huize Caroline'. The house pays homage to one of the earliest and largest pirate radio stations, broadcasting from a ship in the North Sea since 1964, reaching over 7 million listeners. '648 AM' was the station's frequency, thus serving as a tribute to the house's legacy. On another note, the track encapsulates the feeling of returning home from a vibrant club night at 6:48 AM as the sun rises - an amalgamation of positivity with a hint of darkness, dancing until the early hours.
The second track, 'Umami,' refers to the Japanese term for a taste that is difficult to define and is described as savory, full-bodied flavor that adds depth to a dish. The track 'Umami' embodies this essence. Full, rolling basslines build up to an old-school breakbeat that opens up space, only to return in multiple layers with the depth characteristic of a Bayaat track
As a finisher AVEM made a banging remix of BAYAAT's '648 AM' that will both blow you away and suck you in at the same time.
Bayaat's music is not just a sound; it's an experience - a journey through moments of euphoria and reflection, anchored in the spirit of Westland and beyond.
An experience you don't want to miss and can be enjoyed through all streaming services on June 13th!
