Brian Hulick AKA DoF é um produtor oriundo da Pensilvânia. Na sua discografia constam os seguintos registos: If more than twenty people laugh, it wasn't funny (2003); Mine is May (2004); A year in waiting (2005); Sun, strength and shield (2006); Red pine pasture (2008). Escutam-se electrónicas acompanhadas por guitarras acústicas e pianos, melodias aveludadas suportadas por broken beat. É IDM e downtempo que nos transporta para dimensões de tranquilidade. Para confirmar vou deixar os álbuns Sun, strength and shield e Mine is May. As as linhas que se seguem, referem-se a Mine is May e foram roubadas daqui."The album from DoF, Mine is May feels not so much like a collection of songs, as it does field recordings from an imaginary place. Stolen snippets of pigmy tribes, guitars, and pianos peacefully co-existing with laptops and synthesizers. Mine is May is an aural translation of high altitude maps, where land blends with water and clouds into a blurry symphony of brown white and blue. It seems as if DoF is on a non-violent safari, head hunting the haunting echoes of acoustic melodies waning and waxing with digital war drums.
Please don’t let this wistful description fool you into thinking that this music ever noodles or poses as anything but intricate and inspired song craft. In fact, every track on MIM is complete unto itself, with moods ranging from ass shaking anthems, to hypnotic lullabies. The songs structure jumps from frantic electronic polyrhythms to drumless compositions were the shyer sounds get to take center stage. While these varying musical approaches may seem like polar opposites, DoF creates a unified feel of witful beauty, held together by grimy background soundscapes and across the grid immaculate production. Every sound is so crisp and clean you can literally feel its textures scraping across your ear canal."
