David August — Boiler Room Berlin, 2014

Filmed live set by David August for Boiler Room in Berlin, in 2014. A German producer and musician of Italian descent, David August made his name with an organic, melodic electronica at the crossroads of techno, deep house and improvised live music. Unlike a simple DJ set, his Boiler Room performance takes the form of a live show where machines, synthesizers and real-time playing answer one another, in the format’s characteristic intimacy: a crowd packed around the artist, the camera close to hands and sequencers. This set, one of the most-watched electronic sessions on Boiler Room, illustrates August’s talent for building tension and emotional crescendos, between deep pads and hypnotic rhythms. An essential live capture for understanding the evolution of European electronic music in the 2010s and the Boiler Room aesthetic. Filmed live set in Berlin, live electronica and deep house to enjoy in one continuous flow, for lovers of club culture and real-time electronic performance.
