privilege637 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Dimas a/k/a D-Formation (Madrid).Dimas’ career in music spans some 20 years and includes work on labels like King Records, MD Records, BeatFreak, TUSOM and Intenso, as well as hits such as the international smash from 1993 “Que Ideaâ€, “My Thangâ€, “Flamenco Trip†and “Feeling†amongst many others. These singles which were released under a bizarre number of pseudonyms were huge summmer hits in the then important Ibiza and went on to be licensed throughout the world. Add to this his recent productions under the name of D-Formation and you begin to realise that Dimas is not only one of the most important Spanish producers ever to come out of Spain but also, one of the pioneers of the electronic music scene in Spain with the best success rate in the industry in creative as well as commercial terms. The success of Dimas’ project D-Formation has been nothing if not meteoric, “Signs & Portents†has entered the charts of many international tastemakers and tasteshapers and made a strong showing on the all important US club list from the BALANCE RECORD POLL organization. Such has the response been from this release and the subsequent single “StarStuff†(being caned by John Digweed, no less) that D-Formation is now much in demand for remix duties and collaborations. Projects which will see the light of day very soon include productions and remixes for Victor Calderone, Smokin’ Jo, Echoman, Piliavin&Zimbardo as well as Jocelyn Brown and Loleatta Holloway. Similarly, it is worth noting that Dimas a/k/a D-Formation productions have been an integral part of the sets of the following DJs (amongst many others, way too many to name): Dani Tenaglia, Sasha, Timo Maas, Deep Dish, etc. and have been included on compilations ranging from Global Underground to Pacha.In addition to this international recognition, it is important to note that Dimas’ has received four nominations for the DEEJAYMAG 2003 AWARDS for the following categories: Best House DJ, Best Spanish DJ, Best House Record of the Year, Best Career as well as a nomination indirectly for BeatFreak Recordings (Dimas is founder of the label as well as A&R Director) as Best House Label. The coming months already look great: a new D-Formation single is imminent (called “The Third Dimension†no less) and is expected to be as, if not more, successful than the previous releases. Add to this a heady schedule of gigs throughout the world and you can see why Dimas just doesn’t stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illuminaughty Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Dimas's 'Death Of My Soul' and Beatfreaker are killer. Along the same lines as Wally Lopez, Chus and Ceballos This is definitely talent you might only get to see during WMC. Don't sleep on this!

It's a cross between tribal and techno while still being melodic at times. I'll be out there for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
