Dauwd - Could It Be/Shimmer


Change you heart, look around you. Change your heart, it will astound you....

These days trudging through my emails after a long day at work has become somewhat of a chore but now and again you receive one that crops up from nowhere to pleasantly surprise you.

Last week I received an email from Alex Clap of Pictures Music with the opening line ‘Got an absolutely brilliant one for you here!’ I knew this was going to be an email worth reading. The email was to introduce me to the sounds of a little known producer named Dauwd. Not much is known about Dauwd apart from that his real name is David Hilali and he currently presides in Liverpool. What I do know is the good people at Pictures Music are offering up two tracks from the upcoming producer in exchange for nothing but your measly email address. If you are feeling generous you can ‘pay what you want’ for the two tracks which I’m sure the Pictures folk would definitely appreciate as a small token of goodwill for all their hard work introducing us to excellent artists such as Koreless, Lapalux and Dark Sky.

Bringing together the future boogie swing of Floating Points and a jittery two step Koreless vibe beautifully, Could It Be is the made for the floor track of the two, whilst Shimmer sees Dauwd flexing his ambient soothing style, reminiscent of Scotland’s own Boards of Canada. Essential listening!

There will be a vinyl release from Dauwd around August of this year via Pictures but until then listen and download to the tracks below and help spread the word!
