my first EP is here! a new single will come out every few weeks

a long long time (coming soon!)

Hakone (haa · ko · nay) is a lakeside village few hours south of Tokyo. I visited this region during cherry blossom season 2 years ago around this time of year and was really touched by the lush spring scenery and calming views of Mt. Fuji. It took me more than a year from that trip to feel like I could write something that accurately captured that experience, and another half a year to finish because I wanted it to be perfect. While I generally try to ignore perfectionism, I needed this track to be 100%; it would serve as a lasting memory of me biking across this Miyazaki countryside with my best friends - sipping soba noodles while meandering through small towns, sun-kissed fields, and blooming mountains. Hope you enjoy listening :)

this is first of a few drops i have coming out this month, some with friends (!!), so see u again very soon <3

these days i feel like i have to repeatedly remind myself to stop running away from the present but its hard not to because this phase of life has new anxieties and responsibilities. but alas something about dance music snaps me back into the driver seat like nothing else. im happy that i can still get lost with my friends at some club or warehouse or main stage or a bar or afters

this flip came together a few weeks back on a random monday night of messing around on sound design and chopping up samples. there’s so many little details i love about this remix but the one i’ll highlight is the b section of the 1st drop where the orchestra harmonizes with these warbly electronic synths - all over this aggressive house beat. idk if ive ever heard anything quite like that before but i fucking love how it sounds

central cee x raye - MOI (DREAIR x jason sway remix)

https://www.instagram.com/dreairmusic :)

think this one’s been sitting in my hard drive for over a year now because it didnt really click in my head on how to finish it until i started going to more house and techno shows and saw how certain multi genre tracks could help the dj control energy and bide time for selection by keeping the party moving. i really like how the first drop kinda just sneaks up on ya (even though it is more classic tech house-y) and the second drop has a nice long blendy build into a THUMPING techno inspired section

aaaand that’s a wrap on this little mixtape run over the last few weeks!! thanks for joining ethereal spaces. it’s been whirlwind diving back into making music more consistently and holding myself accountable  to finishing things and learning/trying new ideas. falling back in love with the process can be challenging for anything - esp for the arts - but i know a big part of me needed this and healed from just going for it

party dont stop tho. i have a few originals and mixes almost ready to go so check back in a bit

tracklist here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzChfTy892I&lc=UgwJMBvqPFiUPHnYkjl4AaABAg

I put together some of my favorite ukg tracks from the last few months into something I could play at pregames, roadtrips, gym sessions, and all the moments in-between. Been very inspired by this genre lately - there’s so much creativity and flexibility on top of such a rich history of artists, labels, and records.

watch on YT

"keep the dream alive" | house & ukg mix (sammy virji, oppidan, mph, soul mass transit system)

throwing some hardgroove + speed garage sauce to this specific part of the original vocal…which for some reason has always had a soft spot in my heart. it’s quite beautifully tragically magically SAD (to me at least) so i wanted to paint that into this remix while also creating the dancey energy of a euro warehouse + open air festival…a real hug the homies in a circle kind of moment yaknow?

first single off my EP! some nectar for the the 2am clubrat moments where you wanna hear some weird groovy shi

CLUBNECTAR

Watch on Youtube and see the tracklist there!

a nostalgic and clubby late summer mix, spun live in san francisco california usa

there’s a ton of awesome selections in these 90 minutes esp if you’re into that high energy and nostalgic uk garage x 90s rave vibe that’s going on right now in the euro club scene. also mixed in a few of my own edits, live mashups, and originals ☺️

this dj set was part of an EP release party i threw the night before outside lands. i really love the beginning of the video because we managed to capture all my friends rolling in as the music got going hahaha and yeah the night kinda just built up from there 🥹❤️. we had the most SF time just dancing and yapping lots and eating hook fish burritos + guac. we even hosted this all in a beautiful art space right in my neighborhood just a few blocks from my place!! i’m so unbelievably blessed to have my community here. this city is home because of yall <3

lastly shoutout the longtime brotha @shants14 (IG) for manning the cameras. i get to remember this night forever now

appreciate yall for listening and reading this. happy late summer 🌅

TINASHE - 2 ON (DREAIR DUB) [Free DL]

lowkey i should be releasing the rest of my EP lmaoooo but had to push that back bc this flip unexpectedly cooked and i made it in a day last week and fell in LOVE with how it turned out. ive been promoting it across socials as a tech house track given how "content-able" the first drop is but honestly the second drop is where it's at. really excited for my sound to head in that direction :) so lots to come BUT FIRST cant wait for you to hear the rest of my EP that's coming out later this fall

party onnnnnnnnnn ty for listening

EARTH, WIND, & FIRE - SEPTEMBER (DREAIR REMIX)

stoked to add this blissful tune to the catalogue :) the lyrics are sad but the composition is quite happy. i think that contrast makes the song feel more real to me because most feelings these days come in twos or threes. a little more complex but not any less beautiful

where will we go?

all hail cactus jack. if you need this remix taken down, please DM or email me.

more trap incoming ~

travis scott - butterfly effect (DREAIR remix)

very happy to have this one out. hope you enjoy my take on this lovely track. big thanks to Sabai, Hoang, Claire, and Label Radar for hosting this remix competition. 

I’ve also been learning 3D animation over the past few weeks so there’s a little visual I made on my insta: https://www.instagram.com/p/B_i8kq8hpra/. My dream is to bring to life what goes on inside my head when I’m writing songs. Much more to learn though - will definitely make my next visual longer and even better! Thanks for tuning in.

Love,
David

ive been in a real r&b m00d lately :). for this flip, i wanted to slow jam the original but keep some electronic/trap elements to give it an upbeat feel. there's a few elements of r&b that i want to incorporate in my "sound" so it's been a cool journey learning to produce this genre. shoutout ashley for killing the cover art, too - def hit her up for commissions/check out her work! 

originals are on the way...hoping to drop my first one in about a month. super fucking excited about that. follow me on socials to hear the progress.

ty for listening <3

Ethereal Trap I

soooo stoked to drop this track. WIND RIVER really feels like the melting pot of all my inspirations and explorations so far in music and life...from genres like future bass, trap, r&b, and hip hop - to my heritage, nature, friends, travels, and favorite films. music gives my life so much purpose so to finally put forth an entirely original piece of work, with a sound that feels true to my tastes, makes me beyond happy. it’s my first step towards carving out a small corner in the universe to represent my experiences from the pursuit of this craft. still so much more to go tho :)

i do hope you take a listen and let me know what you think. thanks for being part of the journey ❤️
