Speaking about the new EP, Dardust explains:
“We Only Love Spaces and Doors was born in that suspended space between separation and encounter. Doors are both a boundary and a promise - not barriers, but emotional thresholds.
I have always preferred doors to mirrors. Doors open onto what we do not yet know, onto new dimensions. Mirrors reflect what we already are - our ego. Doors, instead, require courage. They ask for a gesture. They ask to be crossed.
This EP was composed in the lead-up to the Opening Ceremony of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympic Games, absorbing its core values: movement as a personal language, the relationship between body and environment, and a transformation of perspective. In this horizon, limits cease to be borders and become new possibilities for existence.”
Dardust is also set to return to European stages. The tour is scheduled for May 2026 with dates in London, Paris, and Lisbon, following the success of his 2025 run across the continent.
Produced by Metatron, Vivo Concerti and ITB International Talent Booking, the tour will bring Dardust’s distinctive sound to some major European cities — a compelling balance of acoustic purity and bold electronic experimentation, blending compositional precision with striking emotional depth.No stranger to the world’s biggest stages, Dardust has performed and collaborated internationally with artists such as Stromae and has brought his music to global events including the Super Bowl and the NBA All-Star Game. His work consistently balances acoustic piano with bold electronic experimentation, a signature that remains central to both Fantasia Italiana and Urban Impressionism.
