Introducing OTHERLiiNE, the debut project from the combined minds of George FitzGerald and Lil Silva. Get ready for this duo to be your new house heroes with their prolific new track 'Hates Me'.
The OTHERLiiNE project was born out of a reaction to the excessive and maximalist music industry that demands and expects release after release.
As the tides begin to slowly shift, OTHERLiiNE are here to be your new anti-heroes – a match made in house heaven – that is something entirely new yet inclusive. Speaking about the forthcoming project release George FitzGerald revealed “It’s not 50 per cent me, 50per cent Lil Silva – it’s this third thing. Together we’re something else, something more, it’s become another entity.”
‘Hates Me’ is the perfect embodiment of the pillars that make up OTHERLiiNE – emotive, melancholic, joyous and entirely human. Unsurprisingly, ‘Hates Me’ premiered on Annie Mac’s Hottest Record. The forthcoming OTHERLiiNE project is designed to take the listener through an emancipating journey of outstanding elegance and otherworldly joy. It’s clear that FitzGerald and Silva needed to unleash everything that was already in them but had been clouded by an industry that operates as a relentless beast.
The wonderful thing about OTHERLiiNE is the craftsmanship behind the soundscape these two Midas producers have created. Expect to hear a lot more OTHERLiiNE on the airwaves and start your Friday night off the right way with their curated playlist below!
