about
David Douglas is back on his home label Atomnation with a series of new singles. First up is 'Don't Bother Losing' which finds him striking an excellent balance between electronica, vintage house, acid, and synth-heavy pop influences.
Dutchman Douglas has been a core part of the Atomnation family for a decade. In that time he's dropped four vital albums and several 12"s, all of which showcase his ever-evolving and deeply melancholic take on electronic music. His last outing was 2021's Escapism album which went from underground club sounds to summery pop grooves - often embracing an indie sensibility that blends the organic with the synthetic.
The sublime new single 'Don't Bother Losing' pairs raw and jostling drums with an aching lead synth and yearning vocal. It's a beautiful sound that eventually transforms: first into something filled with hope as the synths get lighter, brighter, and more freeform, then into a darker and more club-ready territory with twitchy acid stabs and bulky bass.

Percussion like the creaking of the forest, momentum like the flow of rivers, voices and strings echoing across mountain ranges - everything here coheres wonderfully into a sonic representation of wild landscapes. Perimeter is straight up euphoric. josh epps
