Dauwd

Dauwd Al Hilali is a producer with roots in Iraq, but he was born in the United States, raised in Wales, and is based in London, England. He fuses house and techno with a heavily layered, frequently dreamlike sound that works in club and home listening settings. What's There, his debut EP, was released in 2011. In 2013, he followed it with Heat Division, a four-track EP, as well as a remix of Coma's "My Orbit" for Kompakt. The association with the Cologne-based label was continued when he produced the Kindlinn EP for release the following year. As a remix producer, he has also been sought out by Jack Dixon, Lanterns on the Lake, and Olaf Stuut. ~ Andy Kellman
