To celebrate the release of his latest record, David Mayer steps into the spotlight with When We Dip Mix 190, delivering a set that reflects both his musical roots and his forward-thinking approach to club music.
A boundary-defying producer and DJ, David Mayer’s sound is shaped by a truly multicultural upbringing spanning Germany, Spain, Norway, and Berlin, where he settled in 2004. These influences have fostered a musical language that moves freely between house and techno, always grounded by funk-driven, four-on-the-floor energy and an instinctive sense of groove. His selections and productions alike are defined by depth, rhythm, and an unwavering focus on making dancefloors move.
The mix arrives in celebration of Mayer’s new solo release ‘News Flash’ on SONARA Records, marking his third appearance on the label. Created during the seasonal shift from winter into spring, the track captures a moment of transition and renewal — the same period when SONARA transformed from an idea into a fully realized label. That sense of awakening, momentum, and shared excitement runs throughout both the release and this new mix.
‘News Flash’ balances heavy, grounded drums with nimble grooves and excitable melodies, while rising synths and intricate percussion keep the energy fluid and uplifting. An intoxicating Eastern-tinged lead adds a playful edge, bringing dancers together in a subtle but celebratory way. It’s a track that showcases Mayer’s ability to pair sophistication with immediacy — a quality that has seen his music land on respected labels such as Connected, Ouïe, Objektivity, Gruuv, Audiomatique, and Keinemusik.
When We Dip Mix 190 extends that narrative into a wider sonic journey, weaving together movement, emotion, and rhythm with the same sense of purpose found in his productions. It’s a mix that feels alive, reflective of change, and perfectly timed — much like the release it celebrates.
