David Bay

Physical grooves, creative sampling, an unmistakable understanding of the interplay between beat and melody: David Bay has internalised the ingredients for a perfect house track so deeply that he constantly creates summery bangers for the car, for the club, or for a relaxed Saturday evening on the roof terrace. The producer from Hamburg does what he wants, and he does it with the international success he deserves. Whether it’s collaborations with Scooter and Solomun, indie records without a budget, or feel-good tracks that no Ibiza party should be without – Bay glides across the musical landscape of the streaming era with the aura of an experienced funk producer and can obviously do no wrong. Stylistically somewhere between Jamiroquai and Satin Jackets, between Paris and the Balearic Islands, David Bay has established his signature sound and is able to constantly develop it further. Numbers such as the enormously euphoric ‘Highroll’ and the hymn to loving and being loved ‘<3 beat’ suck all the stress and negativity out of dreary everyday life and highlight what really matters: connection and community.
