About Me

     Happily engaged in a never-ending search to deftly deliver the best beat, the popular disc jockey and influential mashup maestro Dillon Rose is not to be missed. A disciple of the renowned 'Daily Dill' school of thought, Dillon finds no limits when it comes to providing a fresh batch of tunes to enjoy. Whether you catch him dropping international bass at a local Gainesville nightclub, mixing underground disco at a sailor bar in Brooklyn, or performing humorous, alternative hip hop at a dingy DIY space somewhere up the east coast, you can always expect an unconventional yet old school approach to his DJ sets. Turntables at his side, this seasoned record wrangler finds delight in taking audiences to new levels of musical bliss by sharing his vast knowledge of all things rhythmic and groovy.
