If we had to pick our valentine for this year, it most certainly would be David Böning, who is taking over the February episode of our podcast series. Even though he just joined one of our Loser takeovers in Munich some days ago, we have been in touch with David behind closed doors for a while. We are happy to announce an upcoming release of his on Loser Records in March! Until then enjoy this podcast as a warmup for what will come very soon.

David Böning discovered electronic music when he was 13. He immediately wanted to create and mix music on his own. Back then his favorite genre was Techno in all its facets. However, throughout the years and maybe because of some childhood influences, he discovered house music, especially from Italy, US and UK.

2023 was definitely quite a year for him. Getting a residency at Goldener Reiter in Munich, he got to play with names like COEO, Phil Evans, Johannes Albert and DJ Sommer. Same thing in Frankfurt. where he has been regularly playing at Clubs like AMP, Silbergold or Tokonoma. In his performances, he always aims a deep groove on the dance-floor, which surely transforms into an euphoric jumpy mood. 

Besides the DJ-thang David is spending a lot of time in his studio in Frankfurt making old school beats with a modern touch, and guess what, there is a bunch of music which is going to be released really really soon. 

In this Mix you can expect bumpy bass-lines, razor sharp drums and uplifting vocal chops, as well as some deep and soulful chords.

We say thank you to David for this wonderful podcast and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Loser Podcast 058 - David Böning

art:cast °171 | David Böning

In his latest contribution to Torture the Artist's art:cast-series, Frankfurt’s David Böning delivers a masterclass in peak-time House music. Known for his deep knowledge and eclectic taste, David skillfully navigates through a diverse soundscape, starting with moody and introspective Deep House grooves. As the mix progresses, he seamlessly transitions into the infectious rhythms of Hip House and the raw energy of Garage House, creating a journey that’s as compelling as it is danceable.

David doesn’t just stop at delivering the latest beats; he takes listeners on a nostalgic ride through early House productions, infusing the mix with tracks that have a dusty, vintage allure. These selections evoke the underground spirit of the genre, bringing a sense of history and soul to the set. As the tempo rises, David introduces a punchy New York Hard House style, injecting an extra dose of adrenaline before winding down with some beloved classics that never fail to resonate.

His art:cast, the number 171 in the series, not only showcases David’s versatility as a DJ but also builds anticipation for his forthcoming EP, "Down To Join," which is set to drop on the Rawax sub-label, Chiwax. The mix serves as a perfect teaser, reflecting the EP's blend of timeless House elements with modern flair. Whether you’re a seasoned house head or a new listener, this mix is a journey through the layers of house music, from its roots to its current iterations, all crafted with David Böning’s signature touch.
