Rarely do I ever dedicate or write a “song” or “track” for a specific person. I did dedicate an album to a friend as a sign of respect once but have never specifically created music with the actual intent of dedicating it to an individual.

One of the many things I enjoy about music is that, once released, it will exist long after its creator is gone. To me, this makes writing music feel like a great way to pay homage or show respect to a person in a long term capacity.

When I was a kid, one of my first “musical” friends let me know that it was a dream & goal of his to be in a band. Being the curious sort …I asked what the name of his band would be, with out hesitation he told me that, “Arabus” would absolutely be the name of his band. We were both very much into heavy metal and at the time and this seemed like a very metal name. It just so happens that “Dice” was his last name.

For the first time ….under the artist name “Dredillah” I started by writing a “drum and bass” track not with drums ….or bass ….or synthizers….but by beginning with the name first.

As a result, i’m very happy to report that within five days of its completion, this track “Arabus Dice” sparked the interest of Sweden’s very own substream/dansant record label and will be appearing on their latest drum and bass compilation. I thought it would be nice to let you preview some of the track in my latest mix.

Arabus Dice kicks in at about 13 minutes and 52 seconds.
