Julien Dyne is a drummer from New Zealand who has worked with artists like Fat Freddys Drop and Nathan Haines. He has also been involved with Red Bull Music Academy. He brings a range of styles to Pins & Digits; it has a cosmic club vibe with Dyne's percussion, rich brass, Rhodes, bass, vibes and electronics. Pins and Digits features guests spots from some of New Zealand’s most talented musicians including the vocal talents of Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle). He is a  musician who can play organic funk, jazz and soul, and rock a MPC and an array of analog synths. On Pins & Digits he tries to find a balance between these styles: club grooves with an eclectic range of percussion, programming and synth, and down tempo compositions. The big bass, brass and futuristic keyboard sounds are pleasant to your ears, but all this eclecticism also makes it sound a little dated, as if he’s borrowing too much from others. You can easily hear Dilla, Spacek and Flying Lotus lurking in the shadows.
