Pictures by dOP

The next release on dOP Only is our present to finish the year with grace.
“Pictures” is a song we have been playing for a while already, tested and polished enough to finally release. It is our satirical take on the perpetual harassment of social media in our lives. A message against the tyranny of meaningless and empty content becoming new standards. Mocking the absurd and ugly narcissism filling the space.

For this release we were lucky enough to have on board two masters of electronic music who spoiled us with their craft.

First, minimal maestro Thomas Melchior, who made the song his own with his signature swing and sound, taking you to the minimal soulful church. Melchior always has a magic touch when it comes to remixes.

Then comes a remix from Rekids boss Radio Slave, who slowed down the tempo to deliver a hypnotic interpretation of “Pictures” that builds constantly over the nine minutes. His version is funky and bright, with a heavy low end to make you dance.

As we always like to add a surprise, we brought in French composer MiM, creator of the Lafayette Street Studio, who has collaborated with major artists such as Rosalía and Pharrell. MiM delivers a bass interpretation of the song, leaving the four by four behind and blending electronic textures with organic sounds. Raw energy straight in the face.

dOP have been on a journey that has travelled from sweat-drenched saloons to the most prestigious of establishments since they first hit the road back in 2007, more than a thousand shows around the world.
