DANMA$ (Daniel Massicotte) embodies the intersection where analytical precision meets artistic expression. With a lifelong passion for music nurtured alongside a successful career as an Electronic Engineer and programmer, his journey is anything but conventional. His technical creativity led to significant achievements in diverse fields including software development, artificial intelligence, the 3D gaming industry, and the motion picture industry (with credits on award-winning Hollywood films like Confession of a Dangerous Mind, Gothika, and Assault on Precinct 13). This background brings an unconventional perspective to his music creation.

This extensive background in technology wasn't separate from his love for music; it became its foundation. Teaming up years ago with his wife, a musician (performer and teacher), marked a key moment he describes as "when art meets technology," merging musical theory with technical expertise.

Now fully immersed in and dedicated to music from his own studio, DANMA$ channels this unique blend of skills into his musical projects. While adept at operating as a self-sufficient creative force – writing, composing, performing, producing, and engineering his tracks – he also actively seeks out and thrives on collaboration, partnering with other artists to explore new sonic territories. This allows him complete control when working solo, yet openness to explore a vast sonic palette, drawing inspiration from a lifetime of listening to all genres of music. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, DANMA$ pushes creative boundaries, crafting a unique sonic identity, and ensuring each release is a distinct exploration unified by his singular vision and technical artistry.

Born and raised in Los Angeles (Compton), California. Started playing music around twelve as a backup rhythm guitar player for my brother. I'm mostly self-taught and just play what I feel or according to my moods.. therefore, I don't just fit into one genre or category. I play guitar, bass, and keyboards. I recently produced and wrote two songs on Melanie's Andrews album, SOULMATE, which is being released in early 2022.  She co-wrote the mega-hit "Let's Wait Awhile" on the Control album by Janet Jackson. My Influences range from Prince, Hendrix, Funkadelic, EW&F, Cameo, and Stevie Wonder. Hip Hop influences range from Dre to Quik, Tribe, PE, and of course 2pac. Shout out to K dot.

Avignon, September 2025 - From Avignon, France, the independent band A Lost
Decade invites listeners into a sensorial journey where every note reveals the
chaotic beauty within human vulnerability with their latest single “Broken Souls”.
Flactuating between rawness and ornate expressiveness, the raspy melodically
nuanced vocals blend organically into the instrumental landscape. Every word and
inflection is amplified by Fred Charles's precise mixing, positioning each element
with clarity and depth, while Zac Tiessen's mastering adds impact and body, allowing
every crescendo, guitar solo, and piano subtlety to be felt with almost cinematic
intensity.
The result is an intense and immersive sound experience, where self-destruction,
internal collapse, global decay, disillusionment and false hope intertwine,
transforming emotion, technique and production into visceral art.

New project from the artist formally known as Sub Liquid. Dance floor focused UKG/ / Breaks, and DnB.

**Sub Liquid** is the musical project of Graham Pisarek, an electronic music producer based in North America. Sub Liquid is known for crafting immersive, downtempo soundscapes that blend elements of instrumental hip hop, IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), and ambient electronica. Pisarek’s work is characterized by its atmospheric textures, intricate beats, and a cinematic approach to composition.

Sub Liquid’s most notable release is the album **Beneath Your Reflection**, which debuted on January 15, 2014. This eight-track LP is a deep electronic exploration, moving fluidly between downtempo, instrumental hip hop, and IDM. Tracks like “Monday Whispers,” “Zebra Face,” and “Life Of A Human” showcase Sub Liquid’s ability to create moody, reflective environments, while maintaining a strong sense of rhythm and melody. The album was self-released and received positive attention from independent music outlets for its charm and compositional depth. [Indie Rock Mag](http://www.indierockmag.com/article23908.html) described *Beneath Your Reflection* as a “charming” release and highlighted Pisarek’s consistent output and evolving style.

Sub Liquid’s music is often described as cinematic and introspective, making it suitable for both focused listening and as a backdrop for creative work. Pisarek’s approach is rooted in a DIY ethic, handling all aspects of production, composition, and release independently. This autonomy allows for a personal and authentic sound, free from commercial constraints.

Beyond *Beneath Your Reflection*, Sub Liquid has released other works, including the *Road Flair EP*, further establishing his presence in the underground electronic scene.
