Ever
since his formative years growing up in Vancouver, BC, Dabbler
has been heavily influenced by music. At the age of 10, he began
‘dabbling’ with an early education in music and
this was only an indication of his later passion.
Growing up he was influenced by artists like Nine Inch Nails,
and the then Vancouver locals, Skinny Puppy. Industrial style
music captivated Dabbler with its heavy use of sampling and
electronic sounds. Spending much of his time growing up attending
concerts and being involved in the music scene, he developed
an extensive addiction to music and expanded his music library.
Originally inspired by Vancouver legend DJ Czech’s fusion
of breaks and bass lines, Dabbler started playing breaks and
house. After hearing Jonny L’s “Sawtooth LP”
he was drawn towards Drum and Bass and never looked back. Shortly
after his transition, Dabbler was playing several times a week
and became well known in Vancouver for his unique mixing skills
and varied style.
Since that time, Dabbler has thrown some of Vancouver’s
biggest and best Drum and Bass shows, and has played alongside
nearly every major name in DnB. He was a resident of Vancouver’s
early rave companies, Twisted Productions, and later as a part
of Automatic, Canada’s longest running DnB weekly. Through
this involvement, Dabbler has played alongside such celebrated
international artists as Shy Fx, Pendulum, Dillinja, and Zinc
to name only a few. Constant exposure to these artists led to
a new desire to create his own sound.
Finding new inspiration in Reggae and Dub, Dabbler signed his
first track “Ali Baba” to Toronto’s quintessential
imprint, Hustlin Beats. Around the same time, he finished a
bootleg remix with Vancouver’s Pioneer DJ and Producer
Pacific, which was quickly scooped by XS Records in the UK.
Both his released and unreleased tunes have received support
from artists like Visionary, Kenny Ken, Muffler and Benny Page,
and have led him to his most recent signing of “Future
Riddim” to Marcus Visionary’s Lion Dubs label.
With local and international support, Dabbler’s music
is increasingly heard and demanded on global dance floors. This
recent success can only be seen as a precursor to further international
achievements.
