Dustin Skiles is a dj by chance, a producer by fate, and an engineer by trade. Fascinated with the explosive sounds of early 90s acid house and techno, his music is a blend of space aged disco and oldschool house with drops of electro and hints of everything that has influenced him over the years. As a dj, he has held numerous residencies, played some amazing guest spots throughout the States, and had a wildly popular (five hour, weekly) mixshow. After several years of successful years of djing, he moved into production to create original material to incorporate into his dj sets and has since carved his niche in remixing and engineering.

Dustin?s first release (Glare ft. Breana Skiles ?Alive Again?) was immediately licensed to a Dutch label and has since sold the world over, garnishing support from radio and club djs alike. Follow up releases ?Here Tonight? and ?Twisted? (also with wife Breana Skiles lending the vocals) have been found blazing through charts and sound systems worldwide with rave reviews throughout Europe and the Americas. Dustin has also remixed artists such as pop act The Girls ("Bubble") and is currently producing acoustic rock group Satellite. With partner Trevor Flynn under the name Nonstop Service, the two have released progressive slammers like ?Jetlag?, which debuted on Beatport.com?s Top 10 during 2005?s Winter Music Conference. The follow up ?Shine? (ft. Breana Skiles) has seen support on XM Radio and has charted well with a number of worldclass djs. Also in 2005, Dustin and Trevor launched the label Positivenergy Music with Aaron Morgan as an avenue to release their tracks and other forward-thinking, substance filled music. The label released the breakout hit "Le Disko" by Shiny Toy Guns who have recently signed with Universal-Motown.

The scope of Dustin?s studio work also stretches outside of the creative and delves into the technical as he is becoming an accomplished recording engineer having worked with Gloria Estefan, When Words Fail, Olga Tanon, Sergio George, Rocwell, Gary Carolla, Steph Carse, Alter Bridge, Gotti 13, Rick Springfield, Dan Miller, George Tobin, and Peter Graves among others. Recently, he toured with Shiny Toy Guns mixing Front of House all over the east coast then onto England and Ireland. Currently, Dustin is assistant engineer to 14-time Grammy award winning engineer Eric Schilling at Orlando's Norfolk Music Productions.
