There’s not much information floating around about DAKOTA, and the name itself makes it hard to do searches for (I’m sure this song as well will be even harder to track down via a Google search). What I’ve been able to gather….DAKOTA makes great videos using found footage (highlights include his great BMX-heavy video for “Fanning” and this official video he did for Jeremy Glenn), and he makes synth-heavy, lo-fi beats in his bedroom that are reminiscent of Hype Williams and Odd Nosdam. I’m loving this stuff. Very much looking forward to hearing more. He’s currently working on an EP of music and videos tentatively due out this fall.
