The Balance series continues to evolve and always has the ability to deliver elements of
surprise and intrigue with each release, none more so, than introducing the latest
addition to it�s already impressive list of compilers, Desyn
Masiello. Desyn is one of the very few DJ�s in recent years that has
stood out and caught the ear of some of the worlds largest DJs (with Deep
Dish, Sander K and Danny Howells nominating
him as their 'future DJ Hero' in DJ Magazine's Top 100
poll). With many established DJs and newcomer DJs leaning towards a particular style and
musical range many are pigeon holed into a 'genre' of music. Desyn, however, has managed
to establish his own sound that crosses boundaries and makes difficult to categorize.
Desyn incorporates house classics, deep, tech, funky and progressive in his sets. His
musical taste takes inspiration from everything and anything that he feels.
"I listen and take inspiration from almost any type of music. Many tracks I
find may not be instantly playable, so I use technology such as Pro Tools and Ableton live
to re-edit tracks or update them so they will then fit into my vision of how the music
should sound on the dance floor�.
2002 saw Desyn's career skyrocket; with Deep Dish's exclusive US booking agency, Bullitt,
signing him up to their US roster. 2002 kept Desyn packed with tours and performances.
Kicking off the year with a cover mount CD for DJ Magazine (WMC issue), headlining at
Glastonbury, and performing notable 6-hour sets around the globe and guesting in venues
such as Cream (Liverpool), Gatecrasher and Renaissance (Worldwide).
During a hectic 2003, Desyn embarked on a global tour supporting his Yoshitoshi 3 'In
House We Trust' CD. Performing 80 dates in 100 days, in some of the world's largest
venues, for some of the most renowned companies, sponsors and festivals around the UK,
Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Malaysia, Asia, Middle East, North and South America.
Having already released the highly acclaimed mix CD 'In House We Trust 3' (Yoshitoshi),
and DJ magazines' WMC '02 cover mount, Desyn was steering his exciting new label
Alternative Route (house and progressive) into the forefront of the scene. With his first
signing (2001) being the mighty KC Flight 'Voices' and one of the most recent and
successful releases being the colossal Chable & Bonnici 'Ride'. Other releases have
included tracks from friends and producers, 16B, PMT, Creamer & K and DJ Vibe. The
success of these tracks On Alternative Route are testament to Desyn's A&R ability to
unearth superb originals, both new and old.
2004... Desyn's productions pointed the way to an exhilarating future. His first two
singles with co-idiots Omid 16b and Leon Roberts, The Idiots 'Feel The Rush' and 'Keep it
Real' (Sexonwax) were featured on Danny Howells' 24/7 Compilation. His first remix (Solar
Plexus) is exhibited on Deep Dish's Global Underground (025). Desyn has completed remixes
and edits for Yoshitoshi - Brother Brown's 'King's of Tomorrow', Eddie Amador's 'Psycho
Ex-girlfriend' and the merging of 'Loudeast and Luzon'. The Idiots produced 'Dogman',
remixed Danny Howell's, 'Spikes' (Sexonwax) as well as two remixes� of 'Sharpside',
Belgian Resistance (Renaissance). John Daigweed requested Desyn join him on his 'End Of
Summer Tour' around the USA. Having joined forces with The Collective Agency (USA) and
Excession (UK), a nomination for BBC Radio 1�s �Essential Mix of the Year�,
together with being handpicked to lead off the Original Series CD (OS_1) on Bedrock
Desyn's profile continued to grow.
2005� A third record label �Symphonic� will be launched in July and run in
conjunction with 4 international artists based around the world. With one of his best
WMC�s to date, a Radio 1 �Live� Essential Mix and this outstanding �Balance
008� double mix compilation, we should be seeing Desyn further establish his name as
one of the high, ranking, international DJs.
