DVAS (Dietzche V. & the Abominable Snowman) is a Canadian electronic dance music group formed in 2003 in Toronto. DVAS signed to Upper Class Recordings, the Toronto-based label responsible for notable artists The Russian Futurists, Cadence Weapon, Girlsareshort (MSTRKRFT Al-P’s original project) and The Cansecos in 2009.
With a basis in Disco and Hi-NRG,[1] DVAS was co-founded by Canadian musicians Jered Stuffco and Darren Veres in 2003 in Edmonton, Alberta.
Albums
Macho
- Macho documents the group from its very beginnings with a number of its singles and some new and some not widely available tracks.[1]
- Michael Douglas was the muse for Black Rain, one of 10 tracks on their latest collection, Macho. (Douglas also starred in a 1991 crime film of the same name.) “The movie’s great and Michael Douglas is an icon,” smiles Darren Veres. It’s obviously a huge joke,” adds Jered Stuffco.[2]
- Recorded and mixed in Edmonton via computer—the disc required patience, humor and, above all, high-speed internet connections and trust. Some songs required two weeks of edits and dozens of e-mails between band mates.[2]
Mixtapes and Remixes
- DVAS have released three Internet-only mixtapes, a slew of remixes, and the track “Inner Sanctum” featured on the 2009 France based blog turned label, Valerie: “Valerie And Friends” Compilation.
