Dak

Detroit/Los Angeles based producer, Dak, is a dude that might prefer to only exist in soundform. Regarding this form, Dak elaborates with deep sonic textures and unique senses of motion in the amalgam of hip-hop, jazz, ambient, and soul present on "Standthis," Dak's debut release for Leaving Records. Dak says, "it's either about getting through hard times or having the patience to listen. Maybe people should win something if they can get through it." Rewards do await those who choose to embrace the broken sounds and rhythms which embody the message behind the music. He adds, "Make your own freedom. You're going to have to comply with all kinds of structures and protocols, but you can still find some open space in the confines of your everyday routine . . .or you can break your routine altogether
