Dakn داكن (PS)

2024

Dakn داكن is a multigenre producer, rapper and selector from Ramallah. His captivating and thought-provoking music constantly expands, with an unmatched ability to challenge norms. In his productions he draws on a repertoire including anything from heavy, rumbling bass-lines to emanating, ambient-leaning arpeggios and field recordings. His acclaimed debut LP, too low/too far, sees harmonic textures resonating alongside dissonant layers, disrupted by pulsating fragments of distant rhythms that, at times, feel like they are sounds emanating from within one’s body or perhaps the land. His acclaimed debut LP too low/too far was released on Bilna’es بالناقص. At Insomnia Festival, Dakn داكن, will play a late set on friday night with support from fellow palestinian, DJ Sami.
