I HATE SEX Ft. KIND PROD. UNJI

Waves of pulsing, layered techno from the revered Mala Junta resident.

If the electronic music industry is caught in the crosshairs of a battle over what makes for true techno, then D.Dan is one of the underground's great modern emissaries.

A figurehead from the new guard of DJs to arise in the '20s, the Berlin-based artist and Mala Junta resident is an ambassador for a sound that is strongly anchored in the classic roots of techno. His productions, like his mixes, are revved-up takes on the hypnotic wormholes that defined dance floors last decade, but with a fresh (and high BPM) millennial twist. 

Originally from Seattle, D.Dan became enamoured with the spectral stylings of psych rock and shoegaze in adolescence. It's not difficult to see how the cosmic tapestry of bands like Cocteau Twins became a blueprint for the entrancing music he's gone on to make as an adult. His releases on Mutant Future and summerpup are latticeworks of loops and layered percussion, custom-tooled for lost hours on the dance floor and drawn-out mixes behind the decks. 

This approach directly extends into his DJ practice, where he pairs song selections from contemporaries that mirror his own reduced, controlled approach to techno. RA.994 is a Grade A display of contemporary four-to-the-floor from flagbearers like Roll Dann and Marcal.

And like D.Dan's standalone records, his RA Podcast finds room for sweetness—the intermittent peal of an open clap, the steady ripening of a chord—while ultimately emphasising the beauty of function and form over flair.

hey are you ok?
I guess I am ok...
when you ask me that way
how can I complain?
its a beautiful day
no we dont mind the rain
if only I felt safe
to enjoy it with you...
who else do I talk to
id really rather stay
you always find my shoes 
always know what to say
can you forgive me I can forgive you whether or not you want to stay
fact of the matter
it doesnt matter
whether or not I am ok

I can excuse that fact
for the moment to make this feeling last
fuck this is not fair
i cant control my past
no you were not there
but now I realize that actually
I’m tired of me
tired of seeing all the things thats wrong with me
hurt everyone
but with you I only show the best part of me
we’ll tell no one
by then we’ll be on the run
this isnt what we asked for but by then we wont give a fuck

hey are you ok?
I guess i am ok...

whats the point then
i’ll have you know
i spent enough time ive wasted
hiding from what
dont wanna think about it
I hate this
im scared to tell you everything
you understand what I’m saying
i could see us making plans
to leave all this behind
I get tired woah
let a sigh out ahh
i feel lighter but
but how long before I fuck up again

sigh
