It was an embrace of emotionality and subconscious communication that prompted David August's artistic evolution. The Italian-German composer, DJ, label-owner and multi-instrumentalist has been releasing music since he was a teenager in Hamburg, but it took self-evaluation and a re-examination of his priorities for August to lean towards the future and follow his most honest inclinations. In 2023, his output is harder than ever to define, stretching across genres and disciplines to chafe the heart of the human experience. When the world went on pause in early 2020, August had the chance to question the role of music and art during a global crisis, and develop his craft more holistically. Diving into study and experimentation, exploring ancient philosophy, mysticism and quantum physics, he began to see himself as an observer rather than the protagonist and attempted to tune in with the unexplainable through sound, instead of merely using established language to tell his stories.
I will never forget the day I heard this song, it was part of a Babel Playlist by Okersounds! Man they had a lot of good songs but this one definitely hits different. There is no other word to describe Sissi’s voice better than HYPNOTIC. The way she rides the beat. 🔥
