www.nickdagger.com https://soundcloud.com/nickdagger Growing up in Orange County, CA surrounded by rock and hip-hop, Dagger learned the fundamentals of hip-hop while dabbling in graffiti and break dancing in his teens. Moving to Las Vegas after high school, he began to familiarize himself with the rave/party rock scene. It was there he learned the fundamentals of turntablism. Under the guidance of DJ Presto One from The Rock Steady Crew, he began competing in DJ battles and soon became a regular on the DJ circuit playing hip-hop, drum&bass, house and club hits at local hot spots. He is credited with co-producing the long standing hip-hop party dubbed "Sunday Skool'n" that hosted national/local talent and brought Nick Dagger attention from the local music scene. In 2008, Dagger moved to San Francisco to study music production and sound design in order take his career in a new direction. After a few years of study and practice he began curating his current musical style, which turned out multiple independent singles. He released his first EP Phonographic Memories in 2013. His sound caught the attention of DJ/producer/owner of Avocaudio Music, Roommate, which led to Daggers’ single "Curious" being put on the Avocaudio 2014 summer compilation. In April 2015, he released his second EP Right From Wrong on Avocaudio Music. The EP showcases his ability to combine traditional sounds with forward-thinking basslines that focused on the riddim driven sounds of dub reggae and drum&bass while staying true to the heart and soul of music in order to build a connection with the listener. In a recent interview with SF Weekly’s All Shook Down blog, Dagger stated, “These songs are a defining moment for sure. I wanted to emulate a sound that's been done before but put my own spin on it as to define where I'm at in my productions and pay homage to a sound that's had such an impact on me.” Currently, Nick Dagger is working on multiple remix projects, an upcoming full-length album, commercial sound design and collaborations with local and international artists. You can catch Nick Dagger playing multiple shows in the U.S. and around the Bay Area at venues like Dub Mission, Shelter SF, Dystopia, and the long standing Las Vegas bass party, Church. The artistry and finely tuned craftsmanship of Nick Dagger's production style and high-energy bass riddim driven DJ sets are not to be missed as he lays out a nomadic musical journey connecting to the world through sound and positive vibes.
