David August

David August is set to play a live headline sideshow in support of his critically acclaimed album 'D'Angelo'.

Born in Hamburg in 1990, August composes and performs multifaceted electronic music with hopeful tones and a human aesthetic. "Creating music—the act of creating in general—should be free from rationalisation. In the best case, relying solely on subconsciousness communication," says the classically trained multi-instrumentalist. Speaking with David, one immediately realises the value that he places upon his well-earned artistic independence and resolute sincerity.

This hard-fought pursuit can be traced clearly through the producer’s recorded works—from a string of early dance singles and remixes (2010–2014), followed by his celebrated debut album, Times (2013), to a handful of genre-defying outings on Ninja Tune sub-label, Counter Records (2016), the Tonmeister graduate (2017) continues to uncloak hidden inner paths yet to be discovered.

Now, following the release of his incredible third album ‘D’Angelo’, we welcome David August to perform live in the intimate confines of Max Watts.
