WRLD

 

WRLD kicked off a fruitful partnership with Vancouver based record label Monstercat  with successful singles  ‘Triumph’ ,  ‘You & Me’  with Laszlo and then ‘Orbit (feat. Richard Caddock)’  in 2014, both featuring on Monstercat’s 018 - Frontier compilation. He also cemented himself as a part of the ever-growing online SoundCloud collective Moving Castle with  an appearance on their third compilation .

 

With his next releases, David ventured beyond his signature ‘future bass’ sound towards indie dance and nu-disco. Compiled on the ‘ Chase It ’ EP and released on Monstercat, it crossed millions of plays on SoundCloud and secured a #24 iTunes chart position.

 

His musical experimentation continued with the iconic single  ‘Fighter’ , a powerful vocoder driven indie dance single, demonstrating his technical development and incorporating influences from the likes of Daft Punk and Justice.

 

Having started music production at the tender age of 11, his full range of inspirations runs broad: from the aforementioned classics, to his all-time favorite Owl City. WRLD’s interesting because he isn’t afraid to look for the intersection of electronic music and pop. For him, that’s where the magic is.

 

WRLD loves his vocals and the  ‘ Awake EP’  on Monstercat shows the full spectrum. It’s pop yet dance, future and funky.  ‘Galaxies’ , out on NestHQ / OWSLA, displays the more pop-influenced side, with Father Dude singing “I wonder how this looks from other galaxies...”.

 

Prolific as he is, he returned to Monstercat with  ‘By Design’ , an experimental drum and bass record, released just before embarking on his debut international tour.

The latest single  ‘Hideaway ’  on Heroic saw him return to indie dance, while capturing his first Hype Machine #1 in the process.
