Dave Dialect, born in the greater Montreal area in the early 1980s, was initially influenced by local Hip Hop DJs making mixtapes around 1995. He began showing up at mix sessions to jam and record with other DJs and MCs, leading to performing at talent shows, house parties and eventually, club nights. After being introduced to Jungle music and the Rave scene, Dave started experimenting with playing his Hip Hop breaks at 45rpm instead of 33rpm and began purchasing a whole new record collection, where his style evolved into funky Breakbeats and House music. Since his debut into the Montreal underground scene at the turn of the century, Dave Dialect has been playing out all over the city, holding down several residencies and branching out to other cities and provinces. Dave had his first record, "We Takin This Back" signed to Planet Break Records in 2009 and has since put other tracks out on Calgary's Breakz R Boss Records, Montreal's Monkey Dub Recordings/In Da Jungle Recordings, UK's Nu Style Records, and Vancouver's Bass Bong Records.
