Do it yourself. The Diynamic way forward. That’s how label founders Mladen Solomun and Adriano Trolio have been doing it for over a decade now.
The Hamburg based collective has naturally progressed into one of dance music’s most admired, followed and respected brands in the industry.
Artists such as Stimming, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Adriatique, HOSH, Magdalena and more, have all closely contributed to the Diynamic project.
Its family has grown from a small north Germany outfit to a worldwide dance phenomenon in just over 10 years, providing productions that have made their way onto dancefloors across the globe.
It was difficult to whittle down, but here are 10 of the best Diynamic releases in the last decade.
Adriatique – Rollox
-
2014
Adriatique announced themselves in summer 2014. Already a Diynamic main attraction, the two Adrians rolled-out their Rollox EP, with all three tracks becoming a staple selection during Diynamic’s infamous Sankeys sessions.
H.O.S.H – Antonelli Screaming (Steve Bug Remix)
-
2014
Flying Diynamic’s funk-driven flag is this Steve Bug edit of Antonelli Screaming, first produced by label favourite H.O.S.H. Although the original is a disco-floor-filler, Bug brings the grooviness down to a deeper and more cautious level.
SevenDoors – Movement of Whale
-
2015
SevenDoors’ Movement of Whale has seen more after-parties than Solomun himself. Featuring as a stand-out selection during the big man’s Boiler Room set in Tulum, this hypnotic production represents a different Diynamic flavour.
Stimming & Johannes Brecht – Stekker
-
2015
Stimming and Johannes Brecht are two Diynamic OGs. Their 2015 Stekker collaboration is a showcase of everything the label does well. Uplifting yet moving, soothing yet disrupting; this track plays on emotional diversity. The feeling is different every time you listen.
Moonwalk – Orbital
-
2016
Orbital need no introduction. The English electronic dance duo has been producing and playing some of the finest club music for decades. With Moonwalk, they take on a progressive drum beat which builds towards an explosive finish. Stomper.
Angelov – Retrida
-
2019
Another more progressive Diynamic cut, Angelov’s Retrida is an unrelenting, psychedelic and galvanising piece of music. This cross-genre production was a defining 2019 hit, with plays across every DJ booth in the world.
Maceo Plex – Mutant Magic
-
2019
Maceo Plex and Diynamic is a match made in electronic music heaven. A bonus to Plex’s earlier seven-track Ellum Mutant series, this 2019 Diynamic release had all the M-Plex ingredients we’ve come to enjoy over the years.
ARTBAT – Upperground
-
2019
ARTBAT took hold of the progressive mantle yet again and produced another middle-of-the-night club anthem for the masses. Upperground capped-off an explosive year for Diynamic and flew the label flag high across the biggest festivals and club events on the planet.
Matteo Bruscagin, Angelmoon & Visnadi – Rain (Ft. Danny Losito)
-
2020
Rain Before Sunset is a moving piece of emotional music that compels a real light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel feeling – or at least that’s what One More Track’s review said. This long-awaited Diynamic release came at just the right time.
Solomun – Home
-
2020
2020 was shit. With no clubs, no festivals and no parties, dance music’s industry ground to a halt, but that doesn’t mean the music stopped. Though technically it’s not a Diynamic release, Solomun teased the world with the first dangle of his long-anticipated album. Having waited since 2009’s Dance Baby, the big man brought some much needed Diynamic music optimism before the turn of a new year.
