DREAMOSAIC

About Me

DREAMOSAIC's mission is to create introspective dance music. Fusing electro, funk, trance, house, drum 'n' bass, break beats, dance hall, and dub, we weave together music made from all the ages and for all time, with focus on the undeniable power of live instrumentation and real time musicianship. We draw from the philosophies of our favorite DJ's and mathematical artists of all star systems, and using said philosophies we create original, unique and melodic dance music. Our purpose is to play and listen together, intently illustrating the moment in which we exist. We are the collaboration and creation of Justin Wiley (Keyboards/Vocals/Programming) and Joshua Francis (Drums/Percussion/Programming). With the addition of Mary Schmaling(Lead Vocals) and Derrick Ramos(Saxophones), our sonic palette has been deeply enriched and the music continues to expand to ever richer harmonies and higher transcenDANCE. The creation of dance party grooves is our specialty, and every show is a truly unique experience for both the audience and the performers. Much love to share.
