Based in the stereophonic heart of Brooklyn, Diwon has made his mark as one of the most innovative, versatile producers and DJs recording music today. With his latest mixtape, Psychadeliciwon, Diwon schools even the most confident ethnomusicologists while introducing obscure sounds into a world obsessed with manufactured pop. This mix will appeal to both your kid’s kids and your grandparents, providing a timeless dive into authentically classic and unique music too often left off the radar. The Producer/DJ mixes his own original psychedelic compositions with rare tracks from Turkey, Brazil, Israel and Japan. Psychadeliciwon also features some of Diwon’s favorite artists, including Os Mutantes, Edan, Ersen, Mos Def and Blakroc. “Showcasing Diwon’s skill for bringing diverse sounds together, Psychadeliciwon reveals more layers with each listen for a unique sonic journey. For fans of the fuzz and lo-fi.”
