To Dundov, “techno is music that precedes movement. It is dance music, solid enough to carry emotions through the dance floor and abstract enough to be a template for ever”. And indeed his breathtaking productions embody this ethos, serving the inherent function of making your body pulse spontaneously while also challenging your brain with its complex melodies and slow-burning, hypnotic progressions.

Although maybe the word “techno” doesn’t give enough detail about his style, it’s probably the nearest ballpark to whose principles his music adheres – and he is keen to expand the horizons of what people know and expect of the genre. But it’s that sense of his tracks being alive, forever evolving and expanding and increasing in intensity, which gives his music its unique sound and has seen his work crossover into a myriad of different areas of the global electronic music scene. 

His music shows you that he’s a producer with more than churning out mindless, functional and dispensable drivel on his mind. There’s a philosophy entrenched in his productions that breathes the very spirit of life and dynamism into them: “My ultimate goal as a producer and musician is to bridge the world of inspiration and physical world to the extent where the listener wouldn't be able to distinguish between the two. Music has this unique property to communicate deep emotions that are inherently in all of us. We just forgot how to use them, and my search is an attempt to revive those emotions where we all resonate as one.”

Born in Zagreb in the early ‘70s, his career in dance music stretches back the best part of 20 years. He counts a longstanding relationship with Belgium’s legendary Music Man records where he released many singles and albums and more recently with Marc Romboy's Systematic Recordings & the excellent Renaissance Records, amongst many others.

Getting Deeper Podcast #141 by Petar Dundov

27
Artist at Dance Artifakts | Urge To Dance | PolyAmber Records | Musique Concrète
Host of 'Into the Void' on Frisky Radio
1/2 of D&G.
Waterford, Ireland, Declan was introduced to music from a very young age. Being guided by his brother and talented artists in the area he began his way into the art of music production at the early age of 11 years old. Now, 27, his passion is still the same. 
Playing gigs in both Waterford, his hometown, and Berlin in September of 2022 for a Dance Artifakts showcase, he is rising in the electronic music scene. Inspired by the likes of Stimming, Impérieux, Dj Koze, Aera, Mano Le Tough, Dixon and Âme, to name a few, Declan is always looking to improve his track selection in dj sets and his music productions. 
Back in May of 2021, he released an 11 track album on New York based record label, Dance Artifakts, he had solidified his craft and got to work with like-minded music enthusiasts. Most of which have become close friends of his.
He then followed up the album with a release on Bulgarian record label Urge To Dance. They had expressed interest in having him jump on board a VA Compilation with his track 'All or Nothing' and was then released in December of 2022 alongside a group of highly talented producers.
Most recently, Declan has released a two track EP on PolyAmber Records, and it broke into the top 50 Melodic House & Techno charts on Beatport in its first week of release.
Now venturing into the realm of live sets, Declan's ambitions are growing, further cementing his artistic imprint. Expect to hear all original ideas, each with a different outcome in every iteration of the performance.

Founded originally as a boutique electronic music blog in 2012 in India, now crossing borders in Berlin, Getting Deeper has organically grown and consistently delivered authentic music with genres such as deep house, deep tech, minimal, IDM, downtempo, trip-hop and techno.

Lush vibes, melodic intricacies and sublime mindstates are places we constantly strive to reach through the music we publish. We also like to encourage escapism, philosophical meanderings and sometimes indulging in the dark side of things. In simple words, we like to get deep.
