Editor's note

Dan Black's electronic soul, from London to now

A London musician who blends electronic production with melodic hooks across three albums.

For a good sense of his sound, try 'Hearts' or 'Symphonies.' They frame what he does without overcomplicating it.

Black's music matters because it quietly builds its own space between electronic production and melodic soul. Songs like 'Hearts' show how he can craft a hook that sticks without shouting. His 2009 remix of 'Symphonies' with Kid Cudi gave him a foothold, and he's kept working in that lane ever since.

He started making music in London in the early 2000s, with solo attempts that didn't quite land at first. Things shifted with the 2009 'Symphonies' remix, leading to albums like 'UN' in 2010 and 'Hours' in 2019. He's often played with musicians like drummer Will Bowerman and bassist Alex Smith.

Archive material and source history

Dan Black started making music in London in the early 2000s. His first solo attempts didn't quite land, so he worked with other artists for a while. Things shifted in 2009 when he and Kid Cudi put together a remix of 'Symphonies,' which got some attention.

His debut album 'UN' came out in 2010, followed by 'Do or Die' in 2013 and 'Hours' in 2019. Songs like 'Hearts' and 'Hypnotize' show his mix of electronic production and melodic hooks. He's often played with musicians like drummer Will Bowerman and bassist Alex Smith.

In 2013, there was some talk about similarities between 'Hearts' and another track, though nothing formal came of it. Black has also mentioned dealing with mental health challenges at times, which sometimes surfaces in his writing. He keeps making music that leans into electronic soul, without much fuss about where it fits.
