Acclaimed electronic trio Weird Genius has released their latest single, Your Side, featuring pop vocalist Novia Bachmid, marking a return to the heritage-infused electronic dance music that launched their global career. The track is the culmination of a intensive two-week creative expedition across Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara, where the group sought out and documented rare, near-extinct traditional instruments to revive them for a new generation.
The single heavily incorporates unique, historic string instruments like the Jungga and Dungga Roro into a grand electronic arrangement, opening with an authentic intro by legendary Sumba musician Umbu Haling. Drawing creative parallels to their 2016 Bali-inspired breakthrough track DPS, Weird Genius envisions Your Side as a cinematic, travel-friendly soundtrack designed to seamlessly bridge ancestral Indonesian heritage with contemporary youth culture.
