About Digital Rust

As a recent San Francisco transplant, Dave Ward, lives a life between a producer, graphic designer, and web developer. Longing for distraction while commuting everyday for 3 hours to work, he started writing new tracks on trains underneath the city - literally underground. His first midtempo release, Loophole, takes listeners on a ride through dirty wobbles, thick basslines, talking synths bits, and chunky beats. Dave contructs a twisted soundscape that pulls inspiration from Glitch Hop, Dubstep, and Breaks. Above ground, Dave has played clubs and festivals along the west coast, with particularly epic performances at Burning Man alongside Tipper, Ill Gates, and VibeSquaD. Having always leaned toward the heavier side of bass music, he has previously released music on KWS and Kanpai Records.
