Daega Sound are not just known for the sophisticated bass music works, but also for their heavy-hitting Live PA and DJ performances.

Ranging from banging drum machine driven rhythms to massive halftime hitters to rich evocative and soulful tunes. Being brothers and somehow seeming to know what each other is thinking, they each man a ‘deck and relentlessly bang out the tunes in long curving mixes or crazy stop cuts drawing from over a decade of DJing techno and DnB.
With memorable Live PA and DJ sets at stalwart Canadian festivals such as Mutek, New Forms, Shambhala and Bass Coast, they have gone on to perform internationally and all the way to Dubloaded, Pinch’s cutting edge bass music monthly in Bristol, U.K.
