![DCXXXIX A.C. by David August - 99CHANTS [99CHANTS01]](https://media.kudosdistribution.co.uk/99chants01/800/cover.ki)
DCXXXIX A.C.
"A proudly nonconformist and multifaceted electronic artist, David August has been on hiatus for a year. Taking time to reflect and discover unknown paths in both, musically and personally, August connected to his Italian roots, drawing inspiration from it's history, rich culture and diverse landscape. The result is a new language of sound and space that until now has remained hidden inside of him."

"DCXXXIX A.C.sees August, who's been on hiatus for a year, embracing ambient music while connecting with his Italian roots. (...) The hour-long release is made up of 24 tracks, mostly recorded in single takes, that form 'one long breath', as the artist puts it. "
-Resident Advisor
"David August has released his second album, DCXXXIX A.C., via his newly launched 99CHANTS label. (...) The hour-long release features 24 tracks and will "lead to a bigger picture, dedicated to a time and space unknown," August explains."
-XLR8R
"This month, August steps into new frontiers with a new hour-long musical journey. It's
calledDCXXXIX A.C.,nicknamed Chant #1, and it's a winding, moody collection of 24 ambient instrumentals that weave in and out of highs and lows, meandering between electronic sounds and organic instrumentation."
-Billboard
"David August lets the drums drop away for this latest LP. DCXXXIX is made up of twenty-four tracks that investigate all things ambient. Droning synths, nuggets of found sound, idly hit percussion, some ivory-tinkling, that sort of thing. A nice record to get lost in for an hour. Will appeal to fans of the Icelandic school and some of the more hissing fauna-type stuff that Posh Isolation have been putting out recently."
-Norman Records
"After a hiatus for nearly a year, August is back with hour-long ambient work that should be played heavily for comedowns this spring and summer, lazy Sundays or when you just need to chill after a long day."

"German producer David August has been away from the lights since 2017 when he confirmed he'll be taking a music break. Now he comes back announcing a new label run by himself, named 99CHANTS, plus a mixed ambient record."

"David August war freilich schon immer für eine Überraschung gut, ein spirituell angehauchtes Ambient-Album samt Labelgründung allerdings war dann doch nicht zu erwarten. Halbe Sachen waren schließlich noch nie David Augusts Ding."

"Mit dem sperrigen Titel "DCXXXIX A.C." deutet August zunächst nur entfernt an, sich mit seinen italienischen Wurzeln musikalisch auseinandersetzen zu wollen. In 24 knappen Intermezzi entledigt er sich den Erwartungen an verspielt-harmonische House-Hymnen und kreiert eine Klangkulisse rein zu Selbstzwecken. Hier sollen keine lässigen Grooves zum entspannten Mitwippen animieren. August wirkt ganz bei sich selbst und im Begriff, spiritueller Erleuchtung auf der Spur zu sein."
- DJ Lab
"Was David August anpackt, will er beenden. (...) Das erste Lebenszeichen wird in ein "größeres Bild führen", das sich einer unbekannten Zeit und einem unbekannten Platz widmet."
