An integral member of the Berlin night, Dauwd Al Hilali’s tracks have been continuously ripping through clubs all around the world as his process of musical experimentation has continued. Pulling inspiration from electronic music legends like Terry Riley or Raymond Scott, Dauwd’s music draws a unique line between influences as eclectic as early German Krautrock and Detroit house.

A Recent Mix

DAUWD - PHONICA MIX SERIES 75

  A mix I did for the Podcast series for the Phonica record store in London (for those who don't know)

All Time Favourite Mix:

SAMUEL L - SESSION ON MONOID

I love this mix because it's just a lot of fun. I love this era of percussive techno from around '98 - '04.  A lot of classics, layered tools, vinyl chops and tricks in fast techno here.

A Recent Release

DAUWD - PSSSH 002

2nd release on Psssh Records, very happy to have this out, looking forward to letting 003 go too…

All Time Favourite Release:

NO SMOKE - INTERNATIONAL SMOKE SIGNAL

 You made me choose one but it's honestly impossible to answer… So spontaneously my mind goes for//  i’ll pick this one because it's got it all, timeless signature sound, strong narrative and an impeccable groove. It never fails on you and is always a killer on a dance floor.

A Good Read:

HAMLET'S MILL

An Essay Investigating the Origins of Human Knowledge and Its Transmission Through Myth by Giorgio de Santillana - it’s a nonfiction work of history and comparative mythology, particularly the subfield of archaeoastronomy. It is about the unfolding development and transmission of knowledge via science, myths and the interactions between the two.

Something To Watch:

HAPPY AS LAZARRO

A beautiful and dramatic tale taking its inspiration from a true story, made in the tradition of surrealistic and poetic old  theatrical Italian movies such as Fellini, but with a contemporary approach and direction. A true masterpiece.
