Dijon opened for Bon Iver last night in Atlanta. He and 4 musicians sat around an 8ft folding table. Nothing else. They absolutely stole the show (and Bon Iver was excellent btw).
Dijon did the same about 2 weeks ago here in Colorado opened for Rex Orange County he also just sat around a table with his band and he was amazing the way he performs with his band is something beautiful to watch it was my first time ever hearing him and now I’m a big fan of his!
The guy who was also singing and playing lead guitar is another artist/songwriter by the name Mk.Gee and is someone i highly recommend to check out as well! Has a lot of great stuff (:
One might say it is necessary to break rules in order to be radical haha! I think Dijon shows how to break rules, be radical while showing respect for those that came before you by letting them speak through you and your unique voice
Been hooked on this guy since I heard "The Dress" a few weeks ago. Awesome stuff. I agree with the D'Angelo vibes, also throwing in some Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, and Blood Orange into the mix. I dig it for sure.
Dijon has writing credits all over bon iver's last album. He is def one of those hidden gems who solidified himself thru songwriting credits first before he gave us this gift of an album.
@@johnnoesen I usually tend to believe that they (justin, dijon, mk gee) are part of the same school sonically. Andrew sarlo is a mix engineer for justin and mkgee's last records. Dijon has worked with jimmy stacks in the same album bon iver was also featured. I am doing guess work here, but dijon's sonic success is dependent on the connection he has made and built in the bon iver camp.
The music feels like a real world geographic location, where you walk into a lonely roadside bar and all these different musical sounds and styles have some how come together. It's like watching a new musical genre being born.
If y’all like this song, def recommend listening to what he did as a part of the duo Abhi//Dijon (2014 and The Montana EP). Truly amazing to see how his artistry has progressed and evolved since then
Exactly what I thought when I first heard it. So beautifully unique. I literally started crying just out of the musical water flowing out of this faucet. When I make new music, I describe it as a faucet, sometimes I turn it on and nothing comes out. This is what a flood looks like. It was in a set built inside of a warehouse. There’s 25 minute film too.
you know, i'd usually say i wish i experienced the first time hearing this again but - i still get goosebumps from watching dijon perform this song after several listens
I’m reacting the same way. The video is so bizarre, but it sounds awesome! Cool voice, and it’s cool that the guitar player is playing the melody in sync with singer.
the crazy thing is i cannot stop listening to Absolutely and that’s exactly why! i made the connection to D’angelo or Bon Iver spiritually and now to know it’s not just me makes me feel more comfortable.
@@KiNGxDREAMER I honestly don’t see Frank when I hear the comparison but lyrically I can see why he’s mentioned but Prince is definitely one I haven’t thought about yet
I wish this was published version on the album, the instruments sound suppressed like all the other main stream artist do. Let the instruments SING along!
Perfect timing. I just stumbled upon Dijon's album yesterday & really enjoyed it. D'Angelo vibes, for sure, and also Leon Bridges, but more eclectic & experimental.
Michael you nailed it with the D’Angelo description. As a matter of fact I’m going to go one step further and say D’Angelo fusion. This was amazing !!! Loved the vibe !!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I hope you see this comment. The guitarist in the video just put out, in my opinion, the album of the year a few months ago. It’s honestly such an ear grabber that I can’t believe you’ve come across this but not his album
I've been enjoying that Dijon video for a few weeks now and it was joyous to see your face while you reacted. Your assessment of "I don't know what I just saw, but I really liked it" was exactly my reaction the first time i saw it 💜
I appreciate your focus on the feeling on the song while incorporating the Lydian idea minimally but emphasizing the simplicity of it is more important
been on dijon for abt 2 years now and i can say w conviction he’s one of the most unlikable likable artists i listen to. Everything in me wants to hate how that song sounds but yet i love it so much. Dijons a peculiar artist
Do yourself a favor and dive into Mk.Gee's discography while you're at it. Kid is an absolute prodigy, much credit to Dijon as well for a fantastic album. Can't wait to see him in May!
Jakc is A BA and I was the 1stAC on this. IT WAS AMAZING WORKING WITH THESE MUSICIANS!!!!!!!!!! Chris Rippley for the win on the DP front, and my guy Adam Hull on the cam op!! Hands down one of the best MVs I got to pull focus on!!!! Showt out to Electric poney for the studio spacen and T stop for the rentals, this was a delight of a shoot!
I had to come back to shout out som many more peopl ean dthe people im still misng, These SUUUPER ROCKSTARS!!! MO SAMRA! B cam specialty KILLER on this one. AMZING DP I've pulled for since. MATTy on the Gaffin Specs, my main guy Evan Croker on the elec dept now gaffing my DP stuff. Bruno Pescina and my home girl Michel Alanis kiiiling the 2ndAC game. Maddddd S/O btw to the homie and regular 1stAC for the madman (spectacular) DP Chris Ripley, Felipe Larrondo who got me on this job. FUUUUUCK!... These people, they are SPECIAL and AMAZING! and obvi THE BAND!!! GOD!!! im just blessed to have worked with these amazing ppl!! ANY QUESTIONS about this shoot and the recording I woud be happy to field within reason, because the amazingness of this shoot has to be known!! I KNOW IM MISSING A LOOOOOOOT op people on this S/O but fuck everyuone on this film. My MAD respect and hat off to for their unbelievable tallent!!!!
Jack is a super star and I wish I could edit me sounding so douchey lumping me with the BA Dir, Sheeeesh sorry. lol. Im thankfull and blessed to have been a part of this! Thank you team!! Jack youre sooooo cool for sending this to Mike. Youfucking rock!!!!
@@allpimp Man you are a rockstar for being a part of this! You deserve to be lumped in brotha!!!! I've been obsessed with this film bc I'm at school in Long Beach to be a part of the world that harbors this exact kind of content. It's a blast seeing you share how you felt about the shoot bc I feel like I would be just as giddy man!!!!! What an absolute dream and honor.
This is the most natural response to this music by another musician. You can really appreciate the artistry when you know just how technically difficult this is making the song even more meaningful because of how much effort went into creating it.
I really really love your reaction to this. I and I think many others had the same reaction our first encounter with Dijon and these videos in particular. You can almost see tears in your eyes. I don't even know what it is but there's SOMETHING special going on here and you don't just see it or hear it but you FEEL it somewhere really deep indside you. It just leaves you speechless. Again, I don't know what "it" is, but Dijon has it. Such a beautiful display of humaness.
I loved seeing your raw reaction to this! When I saw Dijon for the first time I had the same reaction. I’ve gotten to see him in concert and it was awesome
*please react (alip_ba_ta) he does an acoustic fingerstyle cover, all the songs he plays, only the acoustic guitar sounds like the original song and no cut, no edit, he has been recognized by (dragon force, queen, etc.) THANK YOU.😊*
This is a studio recording on a soundstage by the way. Not a real living room. Great artists and amazing film crew involved for their other recordings.
Do you have try to rect to ALIP BA_TA Indonesia fingerstyle ? please try to react guranted that you will find alot amaze kind of people and many kind of musik with diferent perfectif , pease try...greeting from ALIPER GBU

I saw them probably the next night or show in Miami, and I absolutely agree Dijon was way better than Bon Iver was that night
NO WAY i cant believe i missed a concert like that 😭 BON IVER AND DIJON?!
@@spawn302RIGHT
Late on the response but I saw this tour at a stop in Richmond VA but Dijon dropped last minute and I was so sad
The guy who was also singing and playing lead guitar is another artist/songwriter by the name Mk.Gee and is someone i highly recommend to check out as well! Has a lot of great stuff (:
Facts
Shout out to Dijon 🙌🏾🙏🏾
what a re a few great songs to get started with Mk.Gee??
Start with the album Pronounced Mcgee
actual factual
as a dijon lifer, seeing you watch this for the first time made me tear tf up
Glad i wasnt the only one
no literally
@@sticksandsquiggles5847 He was whitnessing greatness and we got to see it... amazing!
on god
literally i wanted someone to share how much i love this with for so long
This goes to show, you can break all the rules in the book, and still come out with something radical.
FACT
One might say it is necessary to break rules in order to be radical haha! I think Dijon shows how to break rules, be radical while showing respect for those that came before you by letting them speak through you and your unique voice
Had a very Miles Davis feel to it where all the musicians "practice" in their performance and fit themselves together while still playing freely.
I don't think I've ever seen Michael full-on speechless while reacting to a video.
Been hooked on this guy since I heard "The Dress" a few weeks ago. Awesome stuff. I agree with the D'Angelo vibes, also throwing in some Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, and Blood Orange into the mix. I dig it for sure.

@@fiveoh3814 hey, curious, where did you see that Dijon collaborated with Bon Iver?
Ok with those comparisons I now have to go dive in to all their stuff!
@@johnnoesen I usually tend to believe that they (justin, dijon, mk gee) are part of the same school sonically. Andrew sarlo is a mix engineer for justin and mkgee's last records.

Also Arthur Russell
The music feels like a real world geographic location, where you walk into a lonely roadside bar and all these different musical sounds and styles have some how come together. It's like watching a new musical genre being born.
He just release a 25 minute full length film of this recording of the album. Worth every second
HE TOOK IT DOWN AND IM PISSED. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
he took it down😭😭😭😭😭
its back :)
Man got so immersed in it then stopped talking and started playing and shaking his hands and head. Gotta love it!
If y’all like this song, def recommend listening to what he did as a part of the duo Abhi//Dijon (2014 and The Montana EP). Truly amazing to see how his artistry has progressed and evolved since then
I discovered Dijon about 2 weeks ago, I like "Many Times", that's what turned me on to his music.
There's at least three more he has done in this recorded/filmed format. My personal favorite is "Talk Down"
Best song
I love Talk Down. Someone said they feel like he’s pioneering a new genre and I 1000% agree
Talk down slapps 🤘
I thought this track was great, but Talk Down completely sold me.
Dijon might be the only musician that I found through an ad.
It's like an amalgam of American music; jazz, RnB, country, rock,
Had the same reaction. One of the most exciting musicians for me rn
There's a few loops in there he's cutting in and out on demand. But this is a live recording. Amazing!
So immersive, it makes you want to be in there playing whatever.
Exactly what I thought when I first heard it. So beautifully unique. I literally started crying just out of the musical water flowing out of this faucet. When I make new music, I describe it as a faucet, sometimes I turn it on and nothing comes out. This is what a flood looks like. It was in a set built inside of a warehouse.

This kept violating expectations in really delicious ways
its so crazy Jack himself reached out to you, I thought it was just a random subscriber that sent it in. loved dijon since 2017
you know, i'd usually say i wish i experienced the first time hearing this again but - i still get goosebumps from watching dijon perform this song after several listens
i’ve been listening to dijon for a while now, he’s so creative and talented, and his music is always super cool
i listened to him first
he just released a full film for the album with multiple songs done live like this. you should definitely check it out!
It’s unbelievable
Can’t believe the director reached out to him, dude’s a genius.
@@alison-dt5ke fax
I’m reacting the same way. The video is so bizarre, but it sounds awesome! Cool voice, and it’s cool that the guitar player is playing the melody in sync with singer.
Whoa! I'm always looking for the next enchanting musician I've never heard of. What a gift.
Bonkers. There’s a real strangely satisfying groove to this. Ima put my phone down and go play it on proper speakers.
It sounds like r&b with some hip hop with a touch of rock. Very good.
the crazy thing is i cannot stop listening to Absolutely and that’s exactly why! i made the connection to D’angelo or Bon Iver spiritually and now to know it’s not just me makes me feel more comfortable.
+Frank Ocean +Prince
@@KiNGxDREAMER I honestly don’t see Frank when I hear the comparison but lyrically I can see why he’s mentioned but Prince is definitely one I haven’t thought about yet
Not vocally, so much. They don't really sound alike to me. I'm thinking more so in some of the style and lyrical choices he makes.
One of the albums of the year, for sure. Vibe for days.
HAVE YOU WATCHED THE ENTIRE ALBUM ON VIDEO? ITS AMAZING! They turned his debut album into a production so this was actually done on a set
I wish this was published version on the album, the instruments sound suppressed like all the other main stream artist do. Let the instruments SING along!

Perfect timing. I just stumbled upon Dijon's album yesterday & really enjoyed it. D'Angelo vibes, for sure, and also Leon Bridges, but more eclectic & experimental.
If you wanna talk about crazy, watch Many Times (Live) by him. Mk.gee & Dijon both go crazy on the track which gets me hype every time.
Michael you nailed it with the D’Angelo description. As a matter of fact I’m going to go one step further and say D’Angelo fusion. This was amazing !!! Loved the vibe !!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
dude is a genius, everything he has released
I hope you see this comment. The guitarist in the video just put out, in my opinion, the album of the year a few months ago. It’s honestly such an ear grabber that I can’t believe you’ve come across this but not his album
He goes by the name mkgee, dying to see him blow you away 😂
This was posted 2 years ago. How would he have come across it then? Lol
I've been enjoying that Dijon video for a few weeks now and it was joyous to see your face while you reacted. Your assessment of "I don't know what I just saw, but I really liked it" was exactly my reaction the first time i saw it 💜
Love Dijon, he has a video for most of the songs on his album. Super experimental, please react to more!
I just saw him live in Austin, TX opening for Bon Iver! This guy is and his band are incredible live. Felt like I was watching Prince sing Springsteen
loving that your first listen blows you away like it did me. am now totally hooked. there is tons more of this "show" on his youtube channel.
seeing someone else experiencing this for the first time is so sick, reminds me of when I first saw it too!
It’s soooo freaking magnetic to see such a talented group of souls vibe in the same frequency. ❤
He's a tinker too. He uses psychoACoustics and may not even know what it is. I hear prince, soul, Donnie Hathaway Roots crew but mostly DIJON

1st time watching any of your video. The fact that you like this song on your 1st listen earns you my subscription.
i just love how much this rocked michael. felt the exact same way. one of my all time favorites.
“There’s so much cool shit happening in here.”- Me shortly after finding Michaels channel
That was lovely thanks for putting me on to this group!
He had my favorite album of 2021! I can’t wait to see what he does in the future
I have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE or Inclination of what i just sat/LISTENED to though...but LORD....It was COOL!!!!
That video brings so much soul and chemistry had me smiling the whole watch
It was really fun to watch somebody watch this for the first time. Thank you!

Did you do react videos for the MK Gee live stuff on the bus and train?
The entire short film is amazing
I saw him at Third Man when he started off this summer tour, good show and the band seemed pretty cool. Definitely check them out if you get a chance

this was such a fun video to watch. I tensed up and was fascinated in the same way when I first watched it
I remember the first I saw this video. Amazing vibes and chemistry from Dijon and the other musicians.
this man dijon has transcended generes its actually insane
favorite artist and favorite guitar teacher in one video. there’s a full album performance releasing on youtube today
Alip ba ta = tomy emanuel the legend

This is such a good artist. I'm so glad you reacted to it.
Nice reaction.... 👍Ceck Alip bata fingerstyle from indonesia 😊🙏

Orchestrated noise. The D'Angelo comparison is definitely spot on. Mixed with some FKJ.
So glad you found him dude. Just got clued into his stuff a few weeks back by another musician/youtuber.
the whole absolutely album film is out on dijon’s channel!
Next, alip_ba_ta from Indonesia please. Thx
