In this week's Round Up: Romania, Noir Music, throwing things, drippings and more Diynamic! Yay!
David August - Diynamic Neon Promo Mix
Surprise! Diynamic being featured again. You
guys better get used to it, because I don’t think they’re going anywhere.
Hailing from Berlin, David August is another example of Diynamic’s knack for
scooping up young, insanely talented producers and giving them a platform to
shine from. It’s always fun for me (and I hope for ya’ll) to listen to a
mix that truly expresses an artist’s musical voice and character. The inside of
David August’s head is a stormy place, and this mix is unequivocally David
August. Unlike the majority of promo mixes, this one is borderline meditative –
August has no problem slowing down the tempo and letting his tracks fully
breathe. There’s a haunting, almost remorseful, edge to a good deal of his selections. Even some
of the more upbeat tracks are underpinned with a melancholy bassline or vocal
track. One gets the sense that every single one was picked with a purpose in
mind, and August’s ability to convey that through his mixing is a testament to
the youngster’s skill. Draw the blinds for this one.
