KEREM AKDAG - UP IN THE SKY (OG)

The story began when Kerem started to play drums and gravitated towards playing  funk and blues tracks. During his high school period, curiosity led him to production with influences stemming directly from the soul and hip-hop. The turning point came at 18 when he applied to “Miller Music Factory Contest” which was one of the biggest electronic music contest in Turkey, and his submission won him the title. His music career changed rather dramatically after that, and he started to work with Kaan Duzarat, who is one of the strongest producer and live performer in Istanbul's local area. Kerem's influences also started to diversify, and he started to produce house music. His first EP called “A Good Play” was released by London-based imprint Apparel Music on 2013 with support by the likes of Shur-i-Kan, Osunlade, Dubfire and many more. Now, Kerem is blossoming into a multi-faceted artist, who seems to sit very comfortably between funk, house and bass-related frequencies. We are very sure that you will be hearing a lot more from this man in 2014 and beyond.

For fans of Flying Lotus, fLako, Mo Kolours and the like.

Born and raised in The Netherlands, producer Beatsofreen has gained major attention by releasing his first well-received beattape “Future Memories” back in 2011 at the age of 17. 
After a successful collaboration (Global Soul EP) with Medaforacle (USA), he was signed to the Darker Than Wax family, celebrating his new EP “Coloured Dreams” (2013), a little tribute to the late & great J Dilla. With his alterego Stan Forebee , Beatsofreen also creates more jazz-orientated beats, and most recently landed himself a feature on Okayplayer for his remix of Flying Lotus' 'Siren song'.

The process that led to ‘Dimensions EP’ engaged different sides of him as a well-rounded artist – growing as his music developed from straight Dilla-minded beats to more electronic songs.

He approached this first as a musician, and then a producer – working with less samples and recording live acoustic instruments – something which has always been part of work for film and radio but was never included in personal production own music, until this project.

While creating this EP had the intention of an electronic influence, it is balanced off by an earthy jazz element – he began to delve more into the acoustic-folk sound and songwriting.

The Dimensions EP is about bringing these different elements together. It stands for seeing things from new perspectives, for experiencing life's diversity. Everything is possible: it's all around you; inside, on the outside. You just have to find the dimensions, take the walls down, and bloom.

Special thanks goes out to Joanna Borromeo, who lends her wonderful vocals to 'Bloom'.

Senpu -  Give Me Company

You may heard of Senpu from his earlier releases on Laruche or Mellow Orange, but if you have not, perhaps this is a good time to get acquainted. 
Senpu is a 22 years young Parisian beatmaker who started his musical path when his parents enrolled him at the conservatory where he could learn to play guitar, violin and piano. 

At the age of 17 he felt the need to create his own music, and after performing live on stage a few times, he decided to focus more on making instrumentals, sampling records from Michael Jackson, Duke Ellington, Bob Marley to Stevie wonder.
"Give Me Company" is a story about his love for travelling, and to discover new cultures. It is imbued with an ample range of percussions and vocal samples, all of which are part of his field recordings - We definitely appreciate the intricate approach to his craft.

Second track from the compilation comes from Paris based @lafayetteellis.

We first released Lafa's 'Make It Up' as part of our free download series a couple of years ago and new we had to hit him up when putting together this compilation. His track 'Good Intentions' keeps you on your toes, switching up 4 or 5 times and keeping things very interesting.

Lafayette Ellis - Good Intentions (Seven Days Of Shimmy)

Our love affair with Auckland continues in the form of another new addition to the stables - Samuel Truth.
We were very fortunate to stumble upon Samuel via twitter, and upon further research into his soundcloud, we were amazed by the body and depth of his work. His most recent output 'Kingdom' displays an incredible diversity of styles in his tracks, from traditional beat numbers, 4/4 tempo to more experimental bass and trap / juke elements. But most importantly, he does not overdo things - something that we emphasize heavily here at DTW. That ability to capture the essence and communicate the intent across is extremely rare in the current age of music, and we feel Samuel has that uncanny sense to do so.

For this special freebie, we decided to upload 'Caspian' which hinges on a soulful 4/4 beatdown vibe, again highlighting his eclectic nature.

Soak in the pacific vibes right here at DTW.
