musician/producer who has called the East Bay home for 20 years. Co-founder of the bands, Subtle and 13 & God, a touring member of hip-hop group Themselves and an associate of the Anticon collective. In 2005 Subtle encountered black ice in the middle of the country while on tour and flipped over, leaving Dax with a spinal cord injury in the 5th and 6th vertebrae. Now paralyzed, Dax has switched to using a laptop MIDI controlled with iPad apps to produce. The last 12 years have been spent exploring the possibilities that technology could offer, often with time-consuming learning curves. His work is currently informed by limitations, college radio segues, hip-hop, ‘90s post-rock, odd time signatures, new techno, ambient drones, bobbing head beats, and sentimentality.
