Why Are You Still Here?  - Longwalkshortdock

A little vision through  sound, now i can see clearly. 

I heard it through the grapevine, the bassline ~

Music is the last true voice of the human spirit. It is the last voice that can go beyond language, beyond age, and beyond colour straight to the heart﻿ and mind off all people and therefore, its power is immeasurable
Music connects us all! 
Feel free to follow me, I love to share and repost tracks of artists from all genres!

An aspiring artist based out of planetary orbit, forever scavenging lost satellites for hidden gems. Welcome to my collection fellow earthlings.

Music sends me to another dimension! 

Many genres under tha groove.



Started in Vancouver 2007, the 7 members of SHAHdjs came together with a unified love for drum and bass. Leaning away from the hardest edge of the genre,  and flexing a full spectrum coverage, expanding into Dubstep, Grime, Footwork, Techno and more, they have been a staple in Vancouver’s underground, playing warehouses, afterhours, clubs, and nearly every venue that has come (and gone) over time, as well as festivals like Bass Coast, Shambhala, Wicked Woods and more. 
Be it Levrige (J.F. Killah + Erski), Willisist, Vasho, Myles Away, Kir Mokum, or Decibel Point, you can trust in top tier mixing, peak selections, positive vibes, and the best of times from start to finish

Longwalkshortdock esentially started the first time Dave King heard gritty electronic music in early eighties videogames. Strongly influenced by these sounds and melodys, Dave started recording and looping segments as a child. He also got a taste for sampling and recording; taping segments of his piano practice to fool his parents into thinking he was practicing in the other room when he was really playing nintendo (note : actually practicing might have served him better). Currently, a veteran of sound design and electronic music production for well over a decade, Longwalkshortdock's music has stepped into a genre of its own. Heavily influnced by early 80s video game music, metal and rock music, found-sound and vintage analog synthesis, he stacks layers of melody in his tracks until they implode and reform. Heavy drums and aggresive synths join forces with rolling grooves and melodic lead lines to create a wide variety of slamming dance floor originals. Lesser known fact : Not limited to dance music, LWSD's music crosses into many territories. His vast catalogue of hundreds of songs dives into ambient, IDM, electro, acid, house, big beat, indie rock, drones, electronica and down tempo. Dave holds two degrees from the Art Institute of Burnaby for Music Recording and Production. Playing songs and remixes he wrote and produced, Longwalkshortdock performs live PA with live vocals, synthesizers, drum machines, guitar, effects, toys, computers and even some of his own strobes and lighting. Know for his increadably "enthusiastic" performances, longwalkshortdock creates an undeniable stage presence and visceral experience at a show. Break through performances at Soundwave 2009 and Shambhala 2010 have made LWSD an artist to watch out for. He was even recently featured on the legendary Annie Nightingales pod cast on BBC radio 1 as a result of a review received about his "smashing" Shambhala 2011 performance. Longwalkshortdock has performed live with the likes of Phil Western (Download, Skinny Puppy, Kone) and opened for talented artists like, MSTRKRFT, Opiuo, Junkie XL, Vibesquad, Alex Patterson (The Orb), Mimosa, Adam Freeland, Shout out out out out and Matt the Alien too name a few. Always working to enhance and upgrade the LWSD live experience Dave is currently in the process of collaborating with veteran of visual wizardry Tim Hill of RIM Visuals. Using at least 10 projectors loaded with custom content, the live LWSD experience is nothing short of a full venue transformation into a etherial and immersive light cube of doom! Longwalkshortdocks second self-released record entitled "Bigger Fish Frying" follows up on his debut album "Casual Tea" with many signs of progress and promise. Final point of note : Did you know they found him in a cave on the moon? Thats what i heard...
