Josh Dahlberg

A culture without the effort of other cultures

About Me

Josh Dahlberg spent his awkward teen years in his bedroom with a drum machine, sampler, and records, only coming out for school, soccer, and the occasional visit from label mate, and close friend, Josh Cummings. Despite growing up in a rural Michigan town, Dahlberg kept his ears on Detroit as a reference point for his creativity. While attending university in northern Michigan, Josh founded the record label, Blank Artists. Now based in Detroit, Josh has reached many goals that far surpass his years. In 2006, Josh worked with one of his oldest – and most important - influences, Underground Resistance/Submerge at their famous base camp on Grand Ave., which served as a learning experience that will impact him forever. As a music producer and DJ, Josh has shared stage time with names ranging from Kid606 and Tim Xavier, to Detroit favorites like Aux 88 and Matthew Dear. While anyone can sit back comfortably and drop names to advance their success, Josh keeps his nose to the grindstone, working on music with a modest demeanor and friendly smile. With upcoming releases that are sure to please, check out why XLR8R has called him "a refiner of the Detroit sound...this breakthrough artist is well on the way to making an impact on dance music".
