Filipino American DJ and Producer, Dillon Nathaniel is the consummate house music connoisseur, a true technician, and a passionate dance music champion. Coded into his musical DNA are the history of house music and the memories of bygone dancefloors. Memories passed on from his Filipino family, who hoped to impress upon him the enchanting magic of dance music. His thick sweltering basslines and slippery hypnotic grooves have made him a favorite of lauded dance floor greats like Solardo, Chris Lake, Lee Foss, John Summit (co-collaborator on Esa Boca), Green Velvet, Fisher, Mau P and MK. The iconic MK personally tagged Nathaniel to join him on tour twice and has become a trusted collaborator in the studio.
Even his early releases on Confession and Night Bass carried a refinement that only comes with years of experience. His ability to work multiple subgenres flawlessly, Dillon Nathaniel's versatile productions have made him a regular on Sola, Repopulate Mars, Solotoko, Big Beat, Incorrect, Sweat It Out, Nervous, Techne, Insomniac, and now his artist focussed label, Obsessions.
The former audio engineer and gear junkie found his footing in music early as a vocalist and guitar player. And while he tried to avoid house music, the draw of the dancefloor was too great. A crash course in DJing and mashups on equipment tossed aside by his father sparked his interest. But his family taking him to his first EDC at 16 was the true catalyst. The transformational moment provided the ultimate inspiration to pursue a career in dance music.
He's just as much of a technician on stage as he is behind the boards, and that trademark command of the groove has led him to bless the stages of CRSSD, Lollapolooza, Global Dance, Splash House, Coachella, Ultra Music Festival and of course, taking him full circle to EDC Vegas, with his family standing beside him.
