BEKIM!
Bekim! Finds Joy in Relatively “We Belong Together” Single
Germany’s Bekim! is a producer and curator, and he’s back again, this time with a brand new single called “We Belong Together,” and the release is very much emotive and nostalgic, and will give you that feeling-good vibe through its electronic tunes. Bekim! is known for not being in the limelight and, in turn, has managed to develop a sound that is both very familiar and modern.
“We Belong Together” takes inspiration from the Eurodance of the early 2000s in its use of simple dance hooks and building a strong sense of connection in its dance music. The simple use of shiney synthesizers and a pulsating beat in combination with a warm female singing hook makes up the body of this song as it is repeated in a memory-like fashion that invites the listener in.
Instead of going for the aggressive club intensity that the single might have been left at, the single is placed in a euphoric and optimisitic zone. This single is definitely intended for movement and release through exercise, late-night drives, and other instances that call for positivity and nostalgia. This single has the ability to loop through the mind because of the hypnotic mood that is created by the repetition of the vocal chant.
Bekim!’s pedigree extends back into the 1990s and involves a love for record collecting and mix tapes. Today, he releases tracks on a weekly basis and works with vocalists from all over the world, all while keeping a strict lid on his anonymity as a producer. In addition to his production work, Bekim! is also a practicing playlist curator and observes how people emotionally engage with tracks and why certain tracks stick with people over time.
Ultimately, “We Belong Together” is all about linking up individuals, generations, and feelings. A very accessible song in every respect, this is a piece that exudes a certain warmth and revolves around Y2K-era electronic dance music and its associated nostalgia for era-defining songs that still have a modern twist.
