Dustin Zahn
(Enemy records)
After being influenced by mix-tapes of artists such as Richie Hawtin,
Dustin began writing music purely for fun. Shortly after, Dustin
met future-partner Ian Lehman, who was established in the mid-west
rave scene. Ian explained to him that music similar to his was played
at parties called raves. Ian invited him to one of his shows and
Dustin took his offer to see what he was talking about. After being
exposed to just one party, Dustin knew this was his future. Dustin
started doing a Live PA at various local parties and quickly became
a favorite. After a year, Dustin stepped up to the decks and won
just as much respect as he did with his productions.
In early 2001, Dustin and Ian both agreed to take things to the
next level. They put a halt on bookings and concentrated on the
studio. A year later their work had emerged onto vinyl and all over
the internet, creating a serious buzz. Abiotic was born, and the
duo formed The Attack People.
A few words can easily describe Dustin Zahn's style: moody, tribal,
dark, and hypnotic. Since Dustin co-founded Abiotic Recordings with
Ian Lehman in 2001, he's finished projects for labels such as Livewire
Records (Detroit), Analytic Trail (Italy) and Invasion (Belgium).
His tracks have been received support from techno producers such
as Redhead, Adam Beyer, Danilo Vigorito, Tim Xavier, Ben Sims, Chris
Liebing, Dave Clarke, Umek, and countless more. Together with partner
Ian Lehman, they perform a Live PA under the moniker "The Attack
People" which fuses tribalism and just plain twisted beats.
Dustin is known for his diverse 3-table sets and smooth mixing through
all styles of techno.
