Daega Sound are not just known for the sophisticated bass music works, but also for their heavy hitting Live PA and DJ performances. Their DJ sets are a mix of their own works and works from a very select few producers. Their high energy sets have a distinct techno quality meshed with a “classic” dubstep sound. Ranging from banging drum machine driven rhythms to massive halftime hitters to rich evocative and soulful tunes. Being brothers and somehow seeming to know what each other is thinking, they each man a ‘deck and relentlessly bang out the tunes in long curving mixes or crazy stop cuts drawing from over a decade of djing techno and DnB. Daega Sound always deliver a remarkable performance guaranteed to bring the house down in a unique and unforgettable way. The brothers live PA sets are something you have to hear to believe. Playing all their original works on a new platform of 2 ipads and 2 computers with some outboard gear, Daega has the freedom to take you to the far off dimensions of music where they hail from. Blending in their newest half time dnb bits with their already well known dubstep beats, these set’s are inspirational, danceable and very listenable. With memorable Live PA and DJ sets at stalwart Canadian festivals such as Mutek, New Forms Festival, Shambhala and Bass Coast they have gone on to perform internationally and all the way to Dubloaded, Pinch’s cutting edge bass music monthly in Bristol, UK.
