In the last couple of months Pictures Music has really stepped up their game with some fantastic releases and a healthy batch of new artists being pushed. The first of the new producers coming from the London-based label is Dauwd. Hailing from the city of Liverpool in Northern England, his sounds fit perfectly into the remit created at Pictures through their past releases from Koreless, Chairman Kato and Lapalux. Both tracks are available as a free download, so it would be seriously rude not to give them a listen!
The first track ‘Could It Be’ is the brother in arms of Joy Orbison’s calling card ‘Hyph Mngo’, with acid undertones guiding the track’s progression through an ambient and beautiful introduction, to the house breakdown and unexpected but brilliant bass wobbles in the finale.The influence of Mount Kimbie’s debut LP ‘Crooks and Lovers’ can be heard across the flipside ‘Shimmer’. Playfully light guitars are present throughout, as are some superb vocals. This release is absolutely perfect for the Summer vibes, and from listening to Dauwd’s other productions.
