With his remix of Nihil Young’s “Automatic” now out on Magnetic Magazine Recordings, Deviu (
@deviumusic ) steps into a phase of his work where decisions feel more direct and less managed. The track presents a big extension of his catalog, with a focus on pacing, controlled arrangement shifts, and a steady melodic framework that holds attention without overcomplicating the mix. It also reflects a broader mindset that carries into how he approaches DJing, where structure and instinct operate in parallel.
Magnetic Magazine · PREMIERE: Nihil Young – Automatic (Deviu Remix) [Magnetic Magazine Recordings]
That connection between studio output and performance approach becomes easier to track when you listen to how this remix unfolds. The phrasing is measured, transitions are handled with intent, and there is a clear sense of direction across the full runtime.
These are choices that align with a producer who has moved away from overthinking small details and toward trusting internal decision-making. The same approach applies behind the decks, where reading the room and staying present carry more influence than sticking rigidly to a plan.
In this conversation, Deviu outlines how he maintains consistency in his sound while adapting to different environments, and how his definition of growth has shifted over time. He speaks directly about letting go of control in order to stay engaged in the moment, and how that shift has affected both his production work and DJ sets. The result is a clearer picture of how “Automatic” fits into his catalog, and how his process continues to move forward with a defined sense of identity.
