Berlin’s underground scene has a new raw nerve, and its name is DA//TE. This solo project, a one-person powerhouse of emo urgency and dark atmospheric rock, just dropped “All that’s left,” and it’s a blistering shot of pure, unfiltered feeling. This is music that feels like it was ripped straight from a journal, charged with the kind of Midwest-emo grit that hits you right in the chest.

The beauty of “All that’s left” is in its boldly DIY spirit. Written, recorded, and produced by a single vision, the track has this incredible sense of immediacy. It’s unpolished in the best way possible, with the kind of authentic emotion that can get lost in a professional studio. You can almost feel the solitary intensity that went into its creation, resulting in a sound that’s both desperately lonely and powerfully confrontational.

With the tense, riff-driven energy of Boston Manor and the bleak, introspective vibes of “Nothing,Nowhere.”, DA//TE blends the aching vulnerability of emo with the heavier, brooding edge of alt-rock. This is a headphone experience, building a darkly atmospheric world you can practically feel closing in around you. 

“All that’s left” is a compelling and punchy statement from a singular artist who understands that sometimes the most powerful sound is the one that’s rough around the edges. Keep an eye on DA//TE; this is the kind of talent that fuels scenes.
