Dark Minimal Project feat. dBoy Je T’aime – And Sometimes (Digital EP – Dark Minimal Project)
Following last year’s album “Pleasure Is A Sin”, the French Dark Minimal Project returns with dBoy, best known as the singer of the French dark wave band Je T’Aime. This EP features two original tracks, each accompanied by a remix, and concludes with a fifth and final piece.
The fusion of Dark Minimal Project’s Electro-Pop sound and dBoy’s passionate vocals works remarkably well. The music leans toward an Electro-Wave style, driven by danceable beats. dBoy proves himself a talented vocalist, taking on a prominent and well-deserved role throughout. While both original tracks are solid, I find myself drawn more to the remixes—particularly the one by Peter Rainman’s People Theatre, who is also involved in the project as a producer. The closing track, however, feels somewhat underwhelming.
Overall, this collaboration between two stylistic approaches results in an engaging and largely successful release. (Rating:7½).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
