biography

Dose is an ascending talent in the NZ Drum & Bass scene. An active DJ and producer in the local scene for the last 6 years, his cleverly crafted sets and original tracks are turning heads across the globe, from fellow performers and labels alike.

Dose's tunes are being supported by the best in the business at home, with The Upbeats, Bulletproof, State of Mind, and Concord Dawn dropping his sounds into their live shows. International heavyweights are also paying close attention, with the likes of Andy C, Pendulum, Ed Rush and Optical, Black Sun Empire and Klute (to name a few) playing Dose tracks, and cementing his place as an emerging leader in NZ Drum & Bass production.

September 2006 saw Optiv, of Cause 4 Concern fame, sign Dose's "Derailed", and also request that Dose complete a 12-inch release for Red Light Records. A wave of interest followed, and since, Dose has secured releases on labels such as Revolution, Syndrome Audio, Cyanide, Citrus, Samurai Music, Full Force Music and notably, a 12-inch release on Klute's "Commercial Suicide" imprint.

More recently, Andy C included Dose's track "Valium Express" on Mixmag Mix CD (issue number here), reaching an audience of more than 40,000 fans worldwide.

In 2007, Dose performed a tour of Australia, playing 5 dates and impressing audiences across the country. A national tour of NZ, with fellow kiwi DJ/producer TREi is planned to kick off in May this year, to celebrate the release of their latest collaboration "The Other Part of Me" and "It's Alright" on Samurai Music.

With numerous solo tunes, remixes, and collaborations planned, and live dates booked in the upcoming months, 2008 is the year to watch Dose take his music further, as his sound garners praise from an ever-increasing audience, around the world.
