Dawn Till Dusk is a new label from Australia that will provide music that captivates the mind, and frees the soul. Their first release is from Powel. A gifted musician from Germany, who has had previous releases on All Day I Dream, Do Not Sit, and Ajundadeep. Powel’s music captures warm, airy atmospheres, and celestial rhythms, and he always finds a way to thread natural elegance, and tasteful patience in his productions.

Opening with ‘Iblard’, the sparsest of all, its aquatic pads draws you in to a warm place, where discordant melodies swirl across the spilling, and dripping percussion, and a lazy bass sigh intermittently to make its presence known. Once the warbled radio static appears towards the end, you know peak satisfaction has been reached. ‘Aburaya’ is next in both vocal, and instrumental form. Deeply Detroitian by design, the uplifting pads and keys made this life-affirming, it’s crescendo shouting joy from the rooftops. 

On ‘Johannesburg’ we are quickly transported into Powel’s world. A sparse beat slowly transforming into a warm vibe with rhodesy keys, violins, and male vocal ad libs.‘The Grand Opening’ named after (and also sampling) the Swedish band, adds live instrumentation to the deep house aesthetic with aplomb: gritty percussion drives the track, as airy harmonics drift in, and out of the mix. While wonky rubbery bass powers ‘Hang On’ forward with nuanced keys, and vocal shots ricocheting around your head. 

It’s very apt that Powel is the first artist to release on the new imprint Dawn till Dusk. The German epitomise music which captivates the mind and frees the soul, a notion the new label will encapsulate. This EP is the perfect start to the new project, music that can translate to desert dancefloors, or soundtrack sunrise/sunsets on the beaches of Ibiza.

You can listen to the full premiere of ‘Johannesburg’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy !
