ABOUT DREAMDAZE

Founded in 2000 as the solo project of DJ Dazed, DREAMDAZE uses laptops and a variety of software to fuse DJ Dazed's driving influences of dada, surrealism and William S. Burroughs into a musical equivalent - with bits and pieces of any given song pulled from a wide expanse of musical genres.

DREAMDAZE produces music on the experimental edge of electronic music.

DREAMDAZE is featured on several compilation CD's, including Raw42's "Global Chilled Volume 1" and "Machinations v4.2: IDM & Ambient Techno" and has had music featured on the Canadian television show "Zed"

DREAMDAZE has received airplay on radio stations around the globe, including the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, Germany, Holland and the United Kingdom - among others.

DREAMDAZE placed 3rd in the "Mixer of the Year" competition sponsored by "The Mixdown Show" on WRVU in Nashville, Tennessee, after entering the contest 11 months after it began.

ABOUT THE SONGS

1. Black Dust Blowing (Experimental, 3:32)
A disturbing horror art piece with slow grinding drums and a haunting soundscape.

2. Automobiling Jazz Dancing Nightlifers (Down Tempo, 3:13)
A simple modern day jazz piece with heavy down tempo influence. Something a little different. Pretty abstract but keeps a basic structure and flow.

3. Haunted City (IDM, 3:14)
Cool eighties arcade-styled intro combined with simple beats and deep bassline hits, builds into a more breakbeat
track with more wild warblings!

4. No Longer Meditative (Breakbeat, 3:55)
A breabeat frenzie, with lots of different breaks combined with various jazz elements, particularly lots of rhodes melodies, tinging bells and some sax hits. A bizarre experimental number but still engaging.

5. Serene Anguish (Down Tempo, 3:39)
Soothing ambience with rain-drop-like synth lines fronting sweeping orchestral pads. Lonely drums that sound like heartbeats are an interesting inclusion.

6. Understanding The Breakdown Of God (IDM, 3:45)
Laidback, yet tense, beats with world-music-influenced vocals.

7. Peculiar Vice (Illbient, 3:43)
Strange electronic blips and bleeps interweave themselves through a rough/dirty breakbeat. The strength of the track lies in the different layers of sound created - always morphing and changing throughout.

8. Eleanor Again and Again (Experimental DnB, 3:18)
A frantic, manic drum-and-bass melee, with crazy beats, cheesy piano riffs and gnarly bassline growls.

9. Tranquil Desolation (Ambient, 3:41)
Slow methodical rhythms with alien,sci-fi sounds. Nice dripping-styled synth lead line runs throughout. A very dark and moody track.

10. Jerky Bed Twisted Feet (IDM, 3:24)
Digital squelches combine with mid-tempo beats and deep knee wobbling basslines.

11. Simple Girl Simple Dress (IDM, 3:40)
Abstract experimental-styled electronic track that jumps from different beat patterns with interesting synth undertones. Adventerous but very listenable.

12. Furnished Times (Experimental, 3:02)
Ambient bleeps give way to a squelchy bass line and cleverly funked up Aphex Twin-style beats. Distinctive sax riff throughout.

13. Morphological (Down Tempo, 3:12)
Airy echoing chillout with a slow beat and drifting melodies A good atmospheric visual backdrop.

14. Mechaniceluard (Illbient, 4:00)
Meaty electro robotic body-popping early fsol-styled avant garde track with deep snarling analogue synths, zaps galore and other wild and crazy goings on.

15. Brevity (Down Tempo, 4:29)
Dark minimal trip hop beats with gentle, subtle synth lines and echoed effects. A belchy and rugged ambient backdrop suitable as background music.

16. Grandpa Ralph (Experimental DnB, 3:14)
Abstract breakbeat sequences combine with smooth chord structures and light airy percussion.

17. Valentine's Day 2:37 AM (Ambient, 3:22)
Spaced out ambient piece with strong emotional choral pad sounds, reversed percussive elements and crackly sci-fi sounds. Has an epic feel.

  • DJ Dazed served up a great CD with some very expressive tracks.
    author: Unsigned Music Mag

    Dreamdaze “The Truth In Everything Rejected” Score: 3.8 out of 4.0 DJ Dazed served up a great CD with some very expressive tracks. Reminds me a little of Thunderball, it’s good background music. Something you can just enjoy and not judge by what they say. Just sit back and enjoy the music. I hope the fact that this CD is all music that it’s taken into consideration when they give an average score including the “Lyrics” and “Vocals” ratings. I had to put something, but really check it out the music “speaks” for itself. Productions 4.0 Lyrics 0.0 Music 4.0 Vocals 0.0 Musicianship 3.5

  • If this is the direction of electronica then I want a ticket to ride!
    author: Smother.Net

    If the latest album by DJ Dazed aka Dreamdaze is any indication of the direction that electronic noise and IDM are moving towards then consider myself wanting a ticket for that ride. The textures are richly layered on top of breaks that subsist at the most primordial period. “Automobiling Jazz Dancing Nightlifers”, a track that was featured on the Canadian show “Zed”, morphs jazzy bossanova with blip-beats and glitches of synth stabs. Each tracks direction is unique and complexly laid out as if he threw all the sounds onto a table and just let an autistic child rearrange them in the most random fashion. But that would sound as if it was accidental or perhaps cluttered about with no real musical connotation and that couldn’t be further from the truth.
