Graham William March 1980 - 2006

Desimal was the moniker of Canadian drum and bass producer Graham March. Creating a highly unique style of neurofunk, his work was signed to a number of important drum and bass labels, including Black Sun Empire, Barcode, Citrus, and Renegade Hardware.

The story of Desimal could read like the legend of high ranked, skillfully trained, lethal assassin. An unknown, originally discovered in the plains of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada by Cyanide, he was recruited and signed exclusively to represent Armada Recordings. Yet lack of output by the said label had forced the floor killer to search the world for other respective opportunities for work. In result, Desimal has recently seen releases on Black Sun Empire's 'oBSEssions', Renegade Hardware's offshoot 'Barcode' and has forthcoming material in the new year on Citrus Recordings and Vibez Recordings as well as previously mentioned labels. With a sound and style all his own, Desimal has the ability to obliterate a system in a matter of seconds. Within the first few bars of any of his tracks, you know immediately its his work and what you are in for. He has set and defined a sound all his own.

BIOGRAPHY
Born on November 18, 1980; Graham March grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.

He was quick to discover his many talents as kid, from being able to ride a unicycle practically on his first crack, to drawing spectacular renderings from an early age throughout his life.

Graham was a quick learner for anything that interested him. By the time he was 13 years old, Graham could play most songs spun by radio by ear on the piano.

Graham began creating original electronic music in 1994 using an Amiga computer and pro tracker software, influenced by early breakbeat and bands like the "Prodigy".

Eventually Graham went on to explore different styles ranging from trance to downtempo to eventually drum and bass. He has reserved his tracks up until 1999, mainly for small independent releases, internet distro and playing out live with his PA act, "phreshly spun" at various clubs and clubs and shows.

In 1999 he began to focus his full attention on producing cutting edge drum and bass and the exploring the rising dnb scene locally. His objective as a producer has always been to establish his sound, while also constantly progressing on new ideas and concepts. His tracks have always been created to maximize his own live sets and are always aimed with dance floor in mind. Much of Graham's current styles stem from past experience with many different styles, which resulted in many different elements appearing his tracks.
In 2001 Graham had become a father to a beautiful boy named, Seth.

That same year, to no ones surprise his music had been released through different labels worldwide. Graham's objective of reaching a broad range of listeners to establish his sound in the scene had taken shape.
