Choolwe Siamubotu (born March 17, 1996) professionally known as Dmstry (The Mystery, Da' Mystery), is a Zambian recording artist, record producer, songwriter and remixer. Embarking on a music career in 2010.While his work producing other artists draws upon a wide range of genres and influences, his solo work is, by his eclectic standards, more focused. His first solo release arrived last year, with dance floor pumping, wave synth assault, ‘The Mystery’. Second single, ‘Roar’ continued in the aggressively EDM theme, with heavily pitch FX-ed vocal hooks and smack/strobe saws and risers; only a slow drone in the subs and lows, suggesting any possible Hip Hop influence. The slow drone returned for follow-up Double A-Side release, ‘Savage’; electro ear candy fizzing from left to right, across the stereo field; bit crushed snares, Dmstry spitting words throughout. With the Hip Hop influence standing tall, “Broke and Gifted” delivers a brooding, dread, and determination on the lo-fi and the downbeat; smart use of contrasting synths and well-judged arrangement, creating a compelling soundscape. His flow delivered in tight runs/fits/starts, and change ups; creative use of expression, articulation, and language, adding flavor and character. The tidy mix presenting the track in a well-balanced frame; making light work of taming and handling the various low-frequency elements while maintaining width and depth. He is steadily establishing himself as a music maker of weight and integrity.
