Diggin’ This: Dorian Concept – “Let It All Go” (Brainfeeder)

 

A bleepy and soulful excursion from the Austrian musician and synthesizer wizard.

 

 

 

“Let It All Go” is the first single to be taken from Oliver Johnson’s new album, What We Do For Others, the title of which came to him in a dream, much like Kamasi Washington‘s dream-delivered album concept, The Epic.

 

 

Says Johnson of his new project, “One thing I often find interesting about my creative process is that when I believe to be making something that others could like, it tends to not really connect with people,” he says. “Whereas when I get to that special place and just work from my gut – the music tends to often speak to the outside world naturally.”

 

 

Dorian Concept recently collaborated with Kenny Beats on his debut album, Louie. He also played keys on Flying Lotus’s album Cosmogramma, in addition to producing parts of Thundercat’s The Golden Age of Apocalypse, two of the best albums of all time.
