    Sep 16 2024

    Dibia$e is a producer, beat maker and instrumentalist currently based in Sacramento, California. A prominent figure in LA’s lauded beat scene, the Watts native is known for his distinctive, gritty lofi sound and his affinity for Roland’s SP-303 and SP-404 samplers. His sample-driven sound takes elements of jazz, soul, broken beat, footwork and even 8-bit video game music, dissects and rebuilds them in his signature, gritty style that favors the imperfect over the polished.
