Time for Trees is the alter ego of sound designer, musician, and artist Joshua Smith. When not making sounds for video games, he can often be found making music about the deep simplicity of human existence and its futile striving.

Make Mistakes is an eclectic collective of artists, musicians, writers, entrepreneurs and DJs with a distinct love for music that is for dancing. They express this love via lovingly crafted parties, beautiful and entertaining podcasts, forward thinking and experiential techno, memory making performances, and the Make Mistakes label, which, you know, is what you're looking at right now. Pretty sweet. 

We hope you enjoy.

I'm a Denver-based techno DJ and electronic music composer.  I've used the pseudonym digitalb0y to release some of my more experimental work that doesn't really fit my DJ format, I'm half of Sound Logic, a collaborative project with James Tobin (DJ Radioactive), and proud to be a part of Mother Earth Sound System (heartheearth.org)

“Hate the cold, love the dark.” “Too old to die young.”
Two slogans, one artist: a lifelong music lover who refuses to let time dull the spark.

Starting out in 1989, Dave spent the early ’90s writing songs and building bands, shaping ideas in rehearsal rooms long before laptops and plugins ruled the world. Then life accelerated—fast—and the dream had to wait its turn.

In 2023, the pause finally ended. With a mini studio packed with drums, keyboards, guitars, a whole arsenal of mics, hardware mixers (seriously, so many mixers), and the recording gear modern music demands, Dave returned to what mattered most: creating. Not as a polished pro, but as someone who never stopped caring, listening, learning, and imagining.

Across the years he’s walked under many names—Dave Cube, D©evil, Dave Legend, Player7o—but the mission stays the same: make honest music, built from passion, persistence, and a little darkness around the edges.
