The song itself is a groovy and minimalistic house tune, with low-riding synths that softly bump their way through the track. The heavy, bass-ridden voice urging the listener to “listen to the rhythm, listen to the beat” helps bring dw’s drumwork into the spotlight, particularly in the way she seamlessly rolls the snare. Altogether, it’s the perfect melody which you can’t help but bounce along to.

Not only is dw a talented musician, she’s also an acclaimed director – most notably as the creator of the award-winning web series That’s My DJ (taking credit as D. W. Waterson). Her self-directed music video for ‘The Rhythm’ features close-ups of various body parts, symbolizing the different instruments used, if not featuring miscellaneous artwork that goes well with the vibe of the song. For those who were reminded of Arthur thanks to her initials, see if you can’t spot the references as you watch and dance to ‘The Rhythm’ below!

On top of being a drummer, DJ, and producer, she’s also the creator and director of That’s My DJ, a fast-paced and visually stunning web series about the trials and tribulations of a party promoter in Toronto.

We caught up with her between all this madness to talk about what it’s like to juggle so many creative projects, how her web series inspired a monthly party in downtown Toronto, and the utter importance of a DIY mindset for artists in the internet age.
