Founder of Mind of a Genius Records, and prodigal producer David Dann has emerged from a 7-year hiatus with You & Me feat. Nicolas. Following back to back Grammy-nominated projects under Zhu for Faded and Gallant for the album Ology. Throughout his 15-year career, the legendary self-produced track is the latest within the bellows of deep and underground realms. Over the last five years, he has been featured in Resident Advisor, Complex, Hypebeast, and more. Billboard has honored Dann as well, including a coveted 5 On The Rise feature in their prestigious 40 Under 40 list.
Listening to You & Me feat. Nicolas will transport you to BC (Before COVID) days, the track represents a return to his roots back to where it all began for David Dann. Without those profound early experiences behind the decks, he likely wouldn’t have the discerning ear that continued serving him well after high school when he went on to break music titans like Zhu, Gallant, and THEY.
The new track, You & Me feat. NICOLAS combines French vocalist stylings with Dann’s iron-forged creative acumen for a timeless, blissed-out track that bridges the ecstasy of romantic longing with a lavish celebration. Dann’s chilled tempo and casual nostalgia pour like a waterfall of emotion from behind the dreamy vocals. Both fresh and familiar, it’s the ideal way for David Dann’s fans to draw on the bottomless well of his creative ingenuity to push through the mire of their own pandemic instigated loneliness.
“This one has a bittersweet tone to it,” Dann said of the song. “This song felt like it was the perfect track to relaunch my artist project. So the second we were done with the track, we were immediately excited to share it with the world. We have an incredibly visceral and cinematic music video to follow, which I think fans will find gripping like a classic action movie, but with vulnerable moments to match the song’s ethos.
More new music appears to be on the way. David Dann is on the horizon to release a series of similarly introspective, yet euphoric electronic music tracks suited for home listening and club nights alike.
