The September edition of The Witching Hour presents two hours of ‘Tribal Rhythms’.

Paying homage to the deeply rooted instincts of dance to repetitive rhythms, a ritual that has brought human beings a sense of community and togetherness since the beginning of our existence. 
Mason opens the first hour with a flow of shamanic grooves, drums and basslines, whilst the second is captained by Dan who nails his energy-packed sound infused with tribal elements. 

Lock in, strap in, get ya feet dusty. This one hits home.

The Witching Hour w/ Dan Newman & Mason James - 17/09/21

Dan Newman is a Welsh underground DJ/producer who is predominantly known for his eclectic sets, switching from multiple genres such as house, techno, garage, break-beat, disco, electro, trance and ghetto house. A recurring theme within his track selection remains constant however, which is high, fast-paced, euphoric fuelled energy.

Dan has had his productions played on the likes of Radio 1, Rinse FM & Circoloco Radio, and was picked as 'One To Watch for 2021' by Jaguar on her BBC Radio 1 Introducing Show. His most recent release on the legendary Hooj Choons seen a remix of ‘Hold It Down’ by Joshua James and the EP has been supported by notable DJs such as Chloé Caillet, Catz 'n Dogz, Amaliah & Jaguar.

More recently in 2024, multiple unreleased IDs by Dan has caught the support from heavyweights within the underground music scene, including DJs such as Job Jobse, Dusky, Benwal, Sam Alfred and Paige Tomlinson. With a range of upcoming releases, it’s safe to say the rest of 2024 is looking promising for the rising young Welsh artist.
