In 2007, Christchurch based Dose burst into the international drum & bass scene with a string of well received releases. Now 2 years and over 20 international releases later, Dose is fast proving himself as not only one of New Zealand's leading solo drum & bass artist's but one of the rising stars of the drum & bass scene worldwide.

Dose's productions cover a wide range of the drum & bass spectrum, from the harder hitting edge to the softer, deeper and more melodic side in which his dj sets portray. Dose’s tunes have been picked up and supported by a wide range of established international artist such as Break, Friction, Survival, Shimon, State of Mind, The Upbeats and many more.

Building on his already extremely successful discography including high profiled releases on labels including Klutes Commercial Suicide, Syndrome Audio, Red Light, Revolution recordings, Aesthetics, Nightfall, Citrus Recordings, Horizons Music, Full force, Samurai Music and Cyanide recordings, 2009 sees a large list of solo records and collaborations with artist's including Menace, Teknik, Bulletproof, Blackplanet, Trei and Vicious circle which have been snapped up on some of the world’s finest and most well respected labels including Critical Music, Renegade Hardware, Cyanide Records, Citrus recordings and more.

With a debut album set for 2010 an ever busy dj schedule across Australasia and the world, Dose has fast become not just one of New Zealand's hardest working Dj/Producers but one of the world’s finest djs and Producers.

Degeneration (NZ)

http://soundcloud.com/degeneration

Degeneration started DJ'ing clubs and raves in the New Zealand electronica scene fourteen years ago, immediately driving for the breakbeat sound as he designed sets of low profile, hard hitting music evolving into techstep and drum & bass. The late 90's saw him represent at some huge events & stadiums to the likes of Auckland's Mount Smart Supertop, the Bruce Mason Theater and the very first edition of the outdoor NYE festival, Splore.

A new century locked in residency's at some well respected club nights including AK's reputable and exclusive Dragon Bar where hooking up with MC Mana (Rhombus), Benwah (Honeyclawz - Austin TX) and DJ EZB (Bristol UK), he formed the crew "Thunderground" and proceeded to lay down large amounts of fresh technique and cutting edge experimental music.

Regularly spinning against international & local veterans at AK's D&B haven FU Bar kept his skills tight on schedule, with frequent updates from killer NZ producers including Cern, Consequence, Teknik, Optimus Gryme and Concord Dawn. Gaining sponsorship from Noise Zealand Apparel and winning the well established Roll TV Mix Comp in NZ stands testament to the fact that he remains tight, dynamic & fresh in the mix and is no doubt harbouring a barrage of cutting edge music and tech - laden breakbeat grooves.

Degeneration is now based in Melbourne and gearing up for the next level by forging a new underground collective, "Balance" and ever diversifying his selections into dubstep and slick, moody autonomic electronica. Hold tight for an exiting blend of deep technical futurism fused with rolling subterranean undertow's and plenty of forthcoming dubplates to keep you trainspotters lurking.
