Big Gigantic, the funky, genre-blending duo from Colorado, is ushering in a new era with the release of not one, but two new singles. Known for their signature sound, which consists of saxophone and live drums, they have returned with an arsenal of new music ready for festival stages. “Move Around” and “Free Spirits (featuring ALIGN)” offer the first glimpse into their upcoming third full-length album, Fluorescence.
“Move Around” starts with bouncy claps reminiscent of Diplo’s “Express Yourself” before their tried-and-true funky saxophone and dubstep-inspired guitars take over. “‘Move Around’ is our shout-out to New Orleans bounce and a nod to funky bass music—an infectious invitation for everyone to get loose on the dance floor,” says Dominic Lalli (saxophone/production).
On the flip side, “Free Spirits,” featuring rising producer ALIGN, glides into electro-soul territory. With soulful saxophone solos, chopped vocals, and funky guitar, they’ve created a festival-ready anthem. ALIGN, who recently opened for Big Gigantic at Red Rocks, called the collaboration “a perfect fit.” He also said he was “inspired by their set and the funky psychedelic ideas it gave me.”
Fluorescence, according to the duo, is “all fun, light and positivity—a celebration of the boundless energy that makes dance music and festival culture feel so alive.” Big G will experience the rush of playing their new music this summer, including two sets at Bonnaroo with one of them at the new 360° Infinity Stage. Their flagship event, Rowdytown, will also return to Red Rocks for its 13th consecutive sell-out on September 27.
With more singles, videos, and surprise collaborations on the horizon, Fluorescence is shaping up to be a defining chapter for Big Gigantic. The album is certain to cement their role as pioneers of live electronic music that moves both bodies and spirits.
