The melodic, rolling soundscapes of San Francisco-based Dias Ridge are shaped by the sunlit hills and foggy coastlines of Northern California. His music explores the emotional undercurrents and inner tensions that come with trying to make sense of ourselves in an ever-changing world.

Producing a variety of genres but most fond of different forms of Techno.

I am a music producer and mastering engineer from Adelaide, Australia. I create EDM and orchestral pieces. Unless otherwise indicated, all the works here are original compositions.

I have always been connected to music, but became seriously interested in music production in 2017. I am a member of the SoundGym, ToneGym, Hyperbits, mastering.com, and Defyre Society online communities.

I make my own Audio and MIDI plugins (using JUCE/C++) and use them in my productions.
