3 QUESTIONS to DAHU:
Q: Tell us about your mix, how did these tracks form your career as a DJ and producer?
A: As a producer, I love tracks that intrigue me, tracks that leave me in awe of the artistry behind them, be it great writing or sound design. As a private listener, there’s no such category, tracks speak to me or they don’t. All these tracks are my evergreens, tracks I’ve been listening to for years and they’ve had tremendous impact on my work as a producer. I try not to copy ideas, but I’m sure the subconscious does its part.
I come from a background of extreme metal and ambient which has shaped my sound aesthetic considerably in my opinion. I still love distortion and monotonous drones and pads and I feel like I’m still building on the foundation that those years gave me. I love tracks with a subtle, shoegaze-ish vibe that take their time and gradually pull the listener in. It’s very important to me not to lose my fandom for music as a producer – this is what this mix represents to me.
Q: Your homebase for releases is the Steyoyoke crew. What´s special being inside this family?
A: All the members of Steyoyoke are like family to me. We’ve seen trials and successes together and I feel very fortunate to be able to work so closely with such a dedicated group of people. We all have very different musical backgrounds but somehow we make it work. The level of collaboration is very high, we constantly feedback each other and do a lot of joint eps and projects. Working so closely with other producers is a constant source of inspiration.
Q: Which Dahu projects are coming soon?
A: I’ve been touring a lot the past few months so I’m looking forward to get back to the studio to finish my next ep on Steyoyoke which is scheduled for later this year. I’m also gradually working on playing live – but that’s still a while down the road at this point.
