Frankfurt-based producer Dave Leck is no stranger to the dance music world, but his latest release, Floodgate, out now on Magnetic Magazine Recordings, showcases just how far his sound has evolved. The track feels like a perfect reflection of Leck’s journey—hypnotic, emotionally grounded, and a true extension of his influences, yet completely shaped through his own lens. With Floodgate, Leck taps into the deep, introspective world of melodic house while embracing a forward-thinking sound that keeps listeners entranced from start to finish.
Leck’s music draws from a diverse range of influences—U2, Depeche Mode, and Sasha among them—but it’s clear that he goes his own path when it comes to his sonic direction. “Floodgate” proves just this – Leck’s dedication to creating something personal and meaningful is front and center. The track blends atmospheric pads with driving progressive house elements, creating a rich, layered experience that pulls listeners into a compelling journey. His signature style—a mix of melancholy and uplifting energy—shines through with every beat, chilling the listener out and taking them on a ride.
Leck, who has also managed to juggle a full-time career in software architecture, shares that he’s taken his time to find his authentic voice in music. From start to finish, all signs are pointing toward that Dave Leck has the production chops to last for the long haul.
