An aggregation of a jazzy upbringing and electronic aesthetics, DJ/producer Dwson’s sound is an organic iteration of deep house. The craftsman—born Ashwin Julies—blends house with distinct South African flavours to create his signature dub-infused style. Influenced by the pioneering Jimpster and dynamic Atjazz, the Capetonian’s rich catalogue seamlessly incorporates elements of Afro-tech, downtempo and soulful house. Here, deep grooves meet progressive melodies and atmospheric chords coalesce with radio-friendly rhythms as the producer explores diverse terrains. Emotion is the bedrock of Dwson’s compositions and his intuitive impulse finds a home across collaborations with vocalists Sio, IDEH, Roxy Caroline, Dumama and J’Something.
