From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dasvibes[1][2][3] a digital audio production company founded by Australian Jamaican DJ and producer DJ Wade[4], who is based in Brisbane. The company focuses on releasing electronic dance music tracks that blend Jamaican musical elements with genres like EDM, as well as working with reggae artists.

History[edit]

Dasvibes was established DJ Wade[5]. In early 2023, they released the track "Stickmen Toys Rock[6]" which became popular in Australia, topping the Australian EDM and iTunes charts. It also reached #4[7] on the Australia Top 100 Independent Singles chart.

The song fused electronic and dance styles with samples of Jamaican musical influences. An Amapiano remix[2] was later created in collaboration with Zimbabwean artists DJ Terry Moyaz[8] and Tanika Siziba, accumulating over 500,000 digital streams.

In 2024, Dasvibes[9] produced the single "Bring That Come[7]" by emerging Jamaican dancehall artist Wiski D[10]. It debuted at #1 on the Reggae Australia charts, #6[11] on the Australia Top 100 Independent Singles, and #38 on the Reggae UK charts.

That year, they also produced the reggae track "One Life[12][3]" for iconic Jamaican singer Turbulence, which topped the Reggae Australia charts and found an audience in Europe and Japan with its 1990s dancehall sound.

In 2022, Dasvibes announced plans to launch reggae's first non-fungible token (NFT) project, aimed at bringing reggae music into the metaverse space[9]. They also produced the song "I Need You" recorded by Jamaican-born, Canada-based, JUNO Award-winning reggae artist Blessed, which was released in 2022 and surpassed 1 million streams on Boomplay.
