DYVN (pronounced "dive in") is the project of David Nilles, a Berlin-based producer and multi-instrumentalist who has played music since age four and recorded his first hip-hop record at ten. Working from his Kreuzberg studio, he crafts a genre-blending sound of jazz-infused chillhop, mellow R&B, and wavy alt-pop — wonky Wurlitzers, lush analog synths, and his signature funk-style bass playing recur across his catalog. He co-founded Mysa Records and maintains an unusually prolific release cadence, with 2026 drops including the STARING AT THE SUN EP and singles like "heavens" and "Södermalmsdrömmar / Midnight Sun." Albums such as STILL SWIMMING, SWIM, and WAVES (also available on vinyl) explore themes of finding one's place in the universe through eclectic yet coherent production. His beats land on major lo-fi and chillhop editorial playlists, and he shares studio process and new music across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Linktree.
