David Hilali, the Welsh producer also known as Dauwd, is a prime example of artists who are unjustifiably unsigned (edit: he is now signed to Pictures Music). After giving his production an honest listen, those with exacting ears are very likely to shun the hype surrounding the certain undeserved; anyone can make a track, but the rampant pretention with which many artists in the UK scene proceed is completely absent here. The sincerity in the raw emotion of these pieces are at the forefront, and it's reminiscent of artists like Gold Panda who are invested solely in the integrity of their music and their personal connection to it. While this is all conjecture—Dauwd seems to be either shy or taking a Burial-like stance towards his public persona—his character seems to shine through his music.
Update: Dauwd's single 'Could it Be' is forthcoming on Pictures Music. And now that he's "decided to make an effort" and with good reason, follow him on Twitter.
