As a DJ and producer, some of his main influences charged to the musique concréte movement of the 1940s and 50's, lead by Shaeffer and Stockhausen, Nine Inch Nails, early Roni Size, American Grunge and cutting edge experimental media artists like Gary Hill, Vito Acconci and Jack Smith. Born a lovechild and raised in New York, he learned that his father had also been a New York City DJ after he decided to buy his first set of turntables-literally planting the seed for a life of musical escapades. While studying Expanded Media and Fine Arts at Alfred University in NY, he began hosting a radio show, “Beats, Dimes & Life” on WALF 89.7 FM. It was there that Dash defined himself as a cut above the rest by being the first DJ in the station's history to mix live on air. To this day he continuously makes regular appearances on local and international FM and internet broadcasts. It was also there that he delved into noise, ambience and rhythmic soundscape experiments (hence the EXP)- his first take on what would evolve into structured music in the years to come. Refusing to slow down, Dash established the “Kum Curek Productions” crew, and began to host parties to expose western New York to the underground Jungle/D&B sound. Since 2005, Dash EXP has resided in Seattle, USA, as a BASS marauder. Unsatisfied with the exposure northwest ravers had to jungle music, he founded the Seattle chapter of Konkrete Jungle, American stateside's original jungle/drum & bass dance party. Again, his goal was to predispose the underage crowd to the eclectic sounds that D&B/jungle music have to offer. He also included the genre of chest piercing bass into his all ages dance party - the 'DUBSTEP'. In 2006 Dash was introduced to DUBSTEP by veteran DJ, Struggle, and shortly thereafter, made it his duty to redirect his knowledge of experimental sounds, to create low end infused rhythms. The year 2007 saw the completion of 'Chronicitis,' Dash EXP's first dubstep tune, which was immediately picked up by a local start up Seattle Record label, but soon fell under. With the 2008 release of "Dried UP," a track written solely in cheap headphones at his dayjob where he oversaw a local computer lab, Dash EXP became a household name. The track oozed a four-on-the-floor, droning, grunge; purely representing the influence Seattle's cold, damp and dark atmosphere had over his sonar vision. 'Dried UP' was then remixed by Joint Forces (a crew from down under) and became a highly sought after club anthem, and was showcased on a plethora of mixes, podcasts and radio shows-worldwide. Since then, Dash has remixed dozens of artists, and he has had a chunk of releases on several dubstep labels including Seattle's infamous SHIFT recordings. Ongoing production projects include remixes for underground hip hop acts and internationally acclaimed dubstep producers, and a return to his firstborn love; D&B. In 2010, keep your ears wide for various collaborations with vocalists and traditional musicians and be on the look out for his debut solo EP's King of Rock, due out in late 2010, on Brap Dem! Records. And Self-Titled: Volume 1, a continuous mix of all original tracks and remixes. He has also completed his first D&B EP's 'Love & Sex & Music' and 'Chmapion Rock,' forthcoming this winter. With his quick mixing and keen sense for detail and precision, party people can expect sets to stir up a frenzy on the dancefloor. Be prepared for an arsenal of fresh material complimented by your favorite classic basslines, as he receives support from some of the world's leading producers and record labels around the world. Rest assured, Dash will come correct and set the mood for the dance, as he's warmed-up the crowd for heavy hitters like Micky Finn, Headhunter, R.A.W., Reid Speed, Rusko, Dara, DJ ODI, Armin Van Buren, DJ Empress and Darude to name a few.̸Chronicitis (N/A) Lull (N/A) Dried Up (Stupid Fly Records) Dash EXP vs. Mad Cobra - Flex Bootleg (Bootleg) Bionic1 - Concrete Shuffle [Dash EXP Remix] (Stupid Fly Records) Cast The Sky - Baptize [Dash EXP Remix] (Post Mortal Records) Burning Down (shift.
