Dash13 Digs Deep on Upcoming Cut 'To Be Me'

Dash13 has kept his release count small with just three tracks so far, but next month's 'To Be Me' cuts far deeper than anything prior. Built for his nearing album 'Smile Without Motive', the 126 BPM melodic cut came together over long nights in Ableton with an Akai controller, Push, harmonica, and a voice modulator. Living with sensory processing disorder and neurodiversity, he treats the writing as direct, necessary catharsis rather than an exercise in clean production.

Taking loose cues from names like Lane 8, Kidnap, and Luttrell, the mood sits back like a fly on the wall, sorting through regret, denial, and second chances. He admits the lyrical honesty felt exposing to write down, but that unvarnished perspective is exactly what anchors the record ahead of both the LP and his companion instrumental EP, 'Resevations'.
