Dez Williams is a DJ/producer based in North Wales (UK), who has been creating electronic dance music since his early teens when his parents bought him a Commodore Amiga 500 computer. Dez soon began experimenting with sampling and 'soundtracker' programs, and a couple of years later purchased his first pair of turntables (on which he spent many hours practising in order to achieve his 'textbook' mixing skills!). Over the next few years Dez's passion for music grew stronger and he soon found himself spending every spare bit of cash he had on records and various pieces of kit for his studio. It wasn't until 1999 that Dez had his first release - a lush, emotional,techno/breakbeat track entitled "Puppet World" on Ben Sims' 'Native' label. Subsequent releases include an EP for the world renowned Leeds based electro label 'SCSI' entitled "Sock Fluff EP", an EP for Essex based label 'Reason', a monstrous techno track entitled "Personal Nightmare" on Liverpool's 'Voodoo Records', the "From Me 2 U EP" on 'Acruacree' (which was charted at No. 1 in 'Sonic Groove (NYC)' and appeared in Dave Clarke's monthly top ten, as well as being hammered by some of the world's top electro/techno DJ's), and a 13 track album entitled "Elektronik Religion" also on the 'SCSI' label which has caused some serious waves in the electro scene (a 'Sureplayer' in August 2003 issue of 'DJ magazine'), and was also been played on BBC RadioOne by John Peel. In 2004, Dez released a 7 track EP for Blase Records entitled Speaking in Tongues and a 4 track EP for the highly rated 'Ai' label entitled Hex Abuse which showed the deeper Detroit techno style of Dez's music production. Dez's influences range from early 80's electro (which he used to breakdance to when he was about 8 years old!), Jean-Michel Jarre, LFO, Depeche Mode, Aphex Twin, Juan Atkins, Luke Slater, Underground Resistance and Jeff Mills. Dez is a great believer in keeping things fresh, new and exciting which is why his dj sets and live gigs usually consist entirely of his own unreleased material. With his unique and uncompromising style, Dez aims to push the boundaries of electronic music, giving a long and lasting contribution to the 'Electronic Underground'.
