DAVE DINGER DE

Dave Dinger began his illustrious career in Berlins legendary Bar25 in his own, very special way. There, he didn’t just play music, but literally built the DJ booths where the music was played from. This unique blend of passion for music and intrigue in aesthetic concepts has driven him through the mesmerising Berlin underground since the end of the 90s.

So Dave was able to personalize his workspace as a DJ according to his interpretation of what electronic music culture is all about. There is a certain warmth, honesty and depth throughout his work that transcends through both his musicality and his design treatments.

 

As a core member of Berlins famous Bachstelzen Collective, he was one of the founders who blueprinted what got to be known as the typical Berlin style – an architecture of social, musical and aesthetic concepts.

Using chaotic, wild and organic scrap wood in his constructions were his distinctive signature well before the term ‘up-cycling‘ became hip. Bar25, the Katerholzig club and the Bachstelzen floor at Fusion Festival were prototypes of this time. Nothing shows the following developments in a greater way than Garbicz Festival —
whose natural, albeit utopian habitat has become a home base for both his music and his design aesthetics.

 

For Dave, spacial design and sound are tools for installing an arena for unconventional social interactions. A sphere where common aesthetics are to be challenged and will therefore change constantly, hopefully.

 

Due to recent events in world history his focus shifted away from the international festival
world that had been driving and hosting him around the globe in the years before.

 

So there was much more time to work in the studio, resulting in his debut ep Moogwalk on Katermukke.

 

There is an album in the making and much more to be expected from that side.
