Dave DK is an alias of Berlin-based techno producer David Krasemann, whose atmospheric, detailed, minimal techno tracks have been released by notable German dance labels such as Kompakt, Pampa, and Playhouse. Krasemann began producing techno tracks as a teenager in the mid-'90s, and released his first singles under the simple moniker Dave. Lights and Colours, his first full-length as Dave DK and a further refinement of his accessible yet tightly crafted minimal house style, appeared on Moodmusic in 2007. Dave DK signed with Cologne minimal techno/pop ambient powerhouse Kompakt in 2013, releasing the Palmaille EP on the label that year. He also released a split 12" with Ricoshëi on DJ Koze's Pampa label in 2014. Full-length Val Maira appeared on Kompakt in 2015. ~ Paul Simpson
