Dilby

Dilby is a music lover. In fact, from a young age Dilby has been obsessed with music. He has hunted and collected music almost religiously and has always been passionate about sharing this music with others. This is evident in his DJ sets which span genres and work to create an infectious groove on the dance floor. His sound is about energy, funk and above all fun.

In the late 90’s and early millennium Dilby was introduced to underground electronic music through local outdoor festivals and events. The excitement of this music grew until Dilby began DJing in 2002. Since then he has not looked back having played clubs and festivals around New Zealand.

In recent years Dilby has taken his passion for electronic dance music to the world through his original productions. His tunes champion a signature groove and level of attention to detail that is instrumental in everything he does. His productions create dance floor groove that takes inspiration from the early house and techno sounds of Detroit and Chicago, gives a nod to synth pop and electro, salute it’s tribal influences and is combined and presented using modern production techniques. This takes on the form of up-front modern house and techno that sounds cutting edge while paying homage to it’s roots.

Dilby’s sound has been gaining support from the local and international DJ fraternity. He has released a series of bootleg remixes of well known and respected house and pop tracks from years gone by. These remixes have been featured on many MP3 blogs and have been downloaded by hundreds of house music fans around the world.

Dilby was recently commissioned to remix a release for Leeds based Forbidden Fruit Recordings. The track is called “Sex, Drugs and 303’s” and is the latest single from label boss Dark Room Robot. The “Sex, Drugs and 303’s” EP was released February 26th 2010 on all major online stores.

Another recent venture has been the creation of a music sharing project called Chilli JAM. Developed with friend and sometimes DJ partner Zachary, Chilli JAM is an interactive and collaborative medium to share top notch music with the world. Chilli JAM features a bi-weekly podcast that is mixed by guest DJ. Chilli JAM Podcasts have a large and growing online listenership and are also syndicated to itunes which is bringing Chilli JAM to the masses.
