Brazilian producer and DJ David Gunter just delivered a seriously tight mix on this week’s episode of T.H.E – Podcasts, and it’s all unreleased material. If you’re into melodic techno, progressive house, or anything with a cinematic vibe and steady groove — this is your kind of session.
The 30-minute set is made up entirely of original productions, and Gunter wastes no time setting the tone. Right from the start, you’re hit with layered synth work, thick low-end, and a drive that doesn’t let up. There’s no filler here — just one track after another that’s built for both headphones and big sound systems.
The mix opens with “Don’t Go Back,” a melodic, emotional cut with deep pads and a steady pulse. It’s the kind of track that could easily close a festival set or anchor a sunrise afterparty. From there, he moves into “Exaggerated,” a more tension-filled piece that plays with atmospheric breaks and hypnotic builds. You feel the BPM creep just enough to keep things tight without going over the top.
By the time “Feeling Restless” kicks in, the mood shifts — it’s moodier, darker, almost minimal in approach but still packed with detail. That sense of space and restraint is something Gunter seems to nail in this set. Nothing feels crowded. Every element has room to breathe.
“Breakfast at the Hotel” is one of the standouts. It’s got a slick rhythm section and this subtle melody that loops in a way that’s instantly addictive. It’s a groove-heavy track, probably the most “housey” in the mix, and it brings some well-timed energy before the back half leans back into deeper territory.
“Keep Moving On” and “Catching the Ball” close things out with style — both tracks are rich with texture and layered with care. The percussion is crisp, the breakdowns are controlled, and there’s this steady forward motion that carries the whole mix home. It’s not flashy, it’s effective.
What stands out most is how David Gunter builds a full narrative with his own music. There’s no need for vocal drops or hype transitions. The tracks speak for themselves, and that’s the mark of a confident producer who knows his sound. His background in melodic techno and progressive house shows — this isn’t just a DJ flexing a tracklist, it’s an artist walking you through a soundscape.
Born in São Paulo, Gunter has been steadily building a global audience with his polished production style and emotionally resonant sets. He’s already racked up millions of streams and is known for crafting immersive experiences both in the studio and on stage. This mix is just more proof he’s got range and depth.
If you’re into music that’s as good for deep focus as it is for late-night sets, this mix delivers. No gimmicks, no big drops for TikTok — just smart, well-built tracks that keep your head nodding.
Catch the full set on T.H.E – Podcasts and keep an eye on David Gunter. If this mix is any indication, 2025 is going to be a big year for him.
