Davido’s “Dami Duro” mega hit is a song that needs no introduction, as it swept and continues to sweep the clubs and radio. But a closer look at the sonics and engineering sensibilities of the track leaves me actually wanting to stop the song from playing on my studio monitors altogether, and stop his engineers from entering any serious studio altogether



Production

The production is a good pop/techno production and this is where the track really scores high. it’s got a good mixture of afro beat, drums and pop synths, nice background pad sound, good guitar lick at 2:30 reminiscent of Ebenezer Obey, as well as a nice introduction of live elements at 2:57. In addition, there is good instrument multi-layering and use of percussion, and it is clear that the producer (Davido) pretty much throws it all in, synths, kicks, pop and afrobeat progressions, as well as acoustic live elements to try and see which ones thrill the listener. It’s really a lot more busy than the average listener will actually be aware of while sweating it out on the dance floor.



Mixing

This is where everything begins to get really shaky.
