[@ruffiankick]

Haha dude walked in like "anybody using this?.... Naw? OK cool" lol

[@jamesjohnson2321]

[@ruffiankick]

James Johnson lolol

[@jayhooks1098]

Thought I was the only one to think that.... He was so cool about walking in....lol

[@rephlax]

Yeah, he knows his shit

[@louissterlingmusic]

Returning back to this set in 2021. The live experimentation reminds me a lot of Autechre, only this time in the space of real, raw hip hop.

[@yOGlo]

💯💪

[@eyethoughtrecords]

guys genius. Throws you off, then hits you with one element that brings it all together. Love it.

[@Mono808]

This is a very creative set - he is totally live - very interesting sounds - people with the negative comments cannot deal with the amount of purple in this room

[@PAKSZNFILMS]

It is alotta purple lmao😂😂😂

[@lxrdox]

You can tell by the comments who listens to Dakim and who doesn't lol. This is his style. Listen to his album "Standthis" and you'll see what I mean.

[@boilerroom]

Lol yep.

[@boatblocker]

exactly.

[@HalfDigit]

You put me on very interesting album

[@yOGlo]

@@HalfDigit if u like hip hop u should check out BOOMANSANTO! n ASJP

[@sno1469]

i like how he stands back and rubs his hands like wht am i gonna throw at em next

[@lliessetilda]

handyest dak

[@bulbadoth]

When he bring the snare in at 2:25... I've never heard a beat like that sooo goood

[@Nekubi]

unsynchronised and synchronized at the same time. hip hop and techno at the same time. alien and human at the same time. creating his own genres on a minute basis. aka Dakim ps: r e s p e c t

[@germancommentresearcher6938]

Man this was 6 years ago, seems like yesterday Btw the amount of subtle headnod in the background is infectious

[@mr.ultrafino6891]

It's so lo-fi that it is almost hi-fi.

[@Longjumperbeats]

This is seriously what I come to Boiler Room for.

[@rawzeta]

Same over here .... all day every day

[@snares3326]

when the snare hits at 3:57 damn man, one of the best rhythms i have ever heard

[@abstrCtbeatz]

[@jasonkearse9887]

snares hell yea the swing is crazy

[@yOGlo]

Fr I still remember my first time hearing that n almost breaking my neck

[@qnzfinest65]

I always come back to this specific Dakim set

[@gillee9248]

I saw his performance at MMCA museum festival. Seoul. He was dope. Ha ha

[@JonBlizzle2]

Unique set. Love the way this cat dances lol. Looks like a mad scientist in the laboratory

[@shermancrawford7038]

coming together so nicely at 14:21

[@sharawest7818]

This will always and forever continue to inspire me ❤️ I always keep coming back.

[@adamcrafts3645]

One of the best live sets I've ever heard. So natural, dakim is a G 🔥

[@kablehead]

Dakim is one of the most inspring musicians on this planet.

[@mcannari]

rockin that 505, killin it!

[@TheLethargy]

love the on top-looping and the lo-fi vibe.

[@CharlieTooHuman]

I keep coming back to this set and I'm just so fascinated by it... Some parts can be meh, but then he just hits you with a sound gem out of nowhere. I also like how it is almost feels like a 36 minute long beat (aside from the small pauses here and there..) that is constantly evolving and molding into something else. He technically could carry on the same beat for hours and it will transform into something completely different every other minute. His delay style is just so dope. I've been applying it to my own beats using the sp 404 recently and it has really been helping my workflow. I'm sure a lot of big names are going to catch on soon because this is definitely an interesting take on improvised beat conjuring foreal. Dakim is a true pioneer and innovator when it comes to sound design and beat construction, people just don't know it yet.

[@jasonkearse9887]

its cause most don't fuck with what they don't understand

[@ruffiankick]

I'm always coming back to this set & mnd's Haha Dakim is mad talented! Love the delay effect beats. Opens my mind up to new ideas watching sets like his.

[@CharlieTooHuman]

Deon Jackson Yooo what's good Ruff! lol Yeah man, I've been making a lot of tracks lately with that delay effect. So much fun letting your music just flow and evolve. It's my way of just letting loose when I'm getting too frustrated with more structured production.

[@coochiedestroyer3000]

Jason Kearse lol

[@lliessetilda]

they know

[@udsuresh0t]

1 year later, still playing this!

[@lBIGMOMMA]

im back for my daily viewing. dakim is an actual genius

[@brahminowsky]

Dakim is a inovator, i love his art music, Respect from Romania keep it up hommie

[@BarbatrucoProduccionesNetlabel]

I love how unpredictable he is on this set,I wish there were more Dakim in my country and my town,I mean more people trying to look for their own sound and not sound like a copy of Flylo or Lapalux(dont get me wrong im not against Flylo or Lapalux or whatever) or maybe the trendy electronic shit in hype at the moment,viva Dakim and be yourself fool!

[@yOGlo]

U should check out BOOMANSANTO! n ASJP if u like hip hop

[@brahminowsky]

Respect for your art form expression Much love and peace

[@Theboydevoye]

This is actually brilliant. Ahead of the live set game.

[@souzsifu]

the magic of doing this stand alone on a 505 is crazy

[@radiobrain94]

[@bib993]

Very interesting. Is he using the Boss SP-505 as an effect processor only or as a sampler as well? Which one is the sequencer, the Korg or the Boss? It seems their MIDI clocks are not in sync.

[@mrstewart97]

He’s using the delay on the 505 to loop

[@bib993]

@@mrstewart97 yeah I figured that out and tried it. Good fun!

[@cstarcrusher]

people still haven't caught up

[@JPratt1992]

Unsure at the start, but it progresses really well. I wouldn't try and categorize this into too much of a genre for now apart from 'experimental electro hip-hop' and still wouldn't call it that, it's a lot more than that. Mint set.
