Adrian Younge Presents Venice Dawn: Something About April is a composition by American composer Adrian Younge. It was released on audio CD 6 December 2011 and on LP (WPR013) on 6 January 2012, both by Wax Poetics Records.

After finishing the soundtrack for Black Dynamite, Younge revisited his earlier treatment of the 2000 EP Venice Dawn, mixing its more baroque sound with the gritty soul of Black Dynamite. The new full-length release is "a heavy, dark mix of psychedelic soul and cinematic instrumentals with hip-hop aesthetics, touching on influences from Morricone to King Crimson, Portishead to The Flamingos, Wu-Tang Clan to Otis Redding."
