About Me

Daniel Elmes's Blurbs About me: I am a record producer and guitarist originally from Hastings on the South coast of England but now I live in beautiful Vancouver British Columbia Canada. I have been a professional musician since I was 16, that was 23 years ago and Im still at it and enjoying it more and more as the years pass. Here in my studio I run my company Dubvibe Productions. We produce a wide range of music but have received most attention for the Hip Hop, Rap, Reggae and Electronica that we have done (dance music). Some of our many clients over the past 5 years include.... REM, Har Mar Superstar, Sweatshop Union, Kyprios, Yabby You, Patrick Andy, Tony Tuff, Curtis Santiago, Jahranimo, Dan Mangan, John Hopkins, Lady Precise, Stink Mitt, Mizz Kitty, DubC, Criptik, Fugative, Lindsay Bryan, Lindsay Mitchell (Prism), Michelle Yanko, Evolution, DJ Dickey Doo, Jay Burns, Abbla Banji, Norman Seguin. Phareak (Hedonic), Kerry Galloway, Soul Survivors, Sellasie I Power, Astrid Sarrs, Raphael Jeronimo, OSC, Mick Jackson, Pincharoo, Sam Hope, Dudley George, Rags & Mark Gaskin, Roz & Howie, Haneefa, Zukie Jospeh, Teah Brazda, Enrico, My Buddy Dave, Skin Up, Uncle Dropsi, Joe Martin, David Hay, Ras Bingi I and plenty more..... As a guitarist I have played with lots of bands stretching from the best Reggae bands in the world (Yabby You, Mad Professor, Trinity, Frankie Paul Sugar Minot to name just a few) as well as Country bands, Blues bands, Jazz bands (big and small), Folk music, Pop bands, Funk/Motown bands and I love Brazilian music. You name it and at some time in my playing history Ive more than likely played it. I love the Blues and early (Pre 1950) Jazz, my time in Paris gave me a chance to learn lots of Swing tunes, old Broadway songs as well as music by the likes of Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and some other Bop and 'Cool" era artists. My time in Western Canada has given me the chance to play a lot of blues and that has been a wonderful experience. I recently finished the Mc Kryptic debut release "Every City's Got A Ghetto".

My Interests

I spend most of my time in my studio playing or recording music but I also like to spend time with my dog "Hendrix". He's a 2 1/2 year old, 120lb Bernese Mountain Dog with an amazing personality and a very sweet and gentle manner. I also like to cook and have a thing for good cheese and fine wine. I lived in Paris for 4 years (ages 17 to 21) so I got into French food in a big way. I also like to get out of the city and go hiking or fishing when I have the chance.

I'd like to meet:

Oh god..... do I have to...?? I would much rather be left alone to be honest, unless you wanna make a record in which case I would love to meet you......

Music:

Dylan, Coltrane, Hendrix, Django, The Stones, Snoop Dog, Bob Marley, Mozart, Coldplay, American Jazz 1920 thru to the 50's, old Blues music, Jamaican music from the 60's to the present day. Music that grooves, music that makes you want to laugh and music that makes you want to cry. music that makes you glad to be alive and music that makes you wanna end it all tomorrow. Music to make a curry with and music that reminds me of when I was a kid.... Man I LOVE music...

Movies:

lottsa' stuff

Television:

I hate the TV

Books:

The sides of a cornflakes box and health warnings of cigarette packets rock my world..!! Just started "The Sacred And Profane" by Mircea Eliade.

Heroes:

People that work for aid groups in war torn countries and areas hit by famine or drought, and reporters to travel to war zones to help bring the truth to light. I think they are very brave and deserve a lot of respect.
