Biography
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Dustin Nantais has been making waves in the house scene in 2014. Armed with an incredibly productive writing process and an impressive technical fluency, Dustin has proven both in the studio and in live performances he’s capable of big things.
Having began playing guitar and piano at the age of 10, by 16 he was producing music and performing in bands, everything from punk rock to electronica. At age 22 he was traveling throughout Ontario, Canada and the north eastern United States with a pop-punk indie outfit.
It wasn’t long before Dustin was performing as a DJ in some of Toronto’s hottest clubs. His mixes have been featured on internet radio stations and podcasts globally and in 2012 Dustin went international, having played his first overseas gig in the UK.
Where Dustin is truly finding his calling is in his production. With nearly 50 releases in the last 3 years, Dustin is compiling an impressive catalogue of house and techno spanning all flavours of the genre, from deep emotional house to energized big-room progressive. In 2014 Dustin was approached by Manual Music label-boss Paul Hazendonk. It was a match from the start, and with numerous collaborations and solo releases in 2014 on Manual and others, there is no end in sight to what these two can do.
In 2014 Dustin took the plunge on performing live. Leveraging his productive writing process, the bi-product is plenty of material to mix and match in a live setting.
You’ll be hard pressed to find someone as passionate and enthusiastic as Dustin. His positivity is infectious and he’s thankfully transmitting it to the world through his music.
