Growing up in Vancouver BC, Dabbler was influenced by artists like Nine Inch Nails, and the then Vancouver locals, Skinny Puppy. Industrial style music captivated him with its heavy use of sampling and electronic sounds. After hearing Jonny L's "Sawtooth LP" he was drawn towards Drum and Bass and never looked back. As a DJ, he quickly became a resident of Vancouver's early rave companies, Twisted Productions, and later joined up with Automatic, Canada's longest running DnB weekly clubnight. Through this involvement, Dabbler has played alongside celebrated international artists such as Shy FX, Pendulum, Dillinja, and Zinc to name only a few.

Finding new inspiration in Reggae and Dub, Dabbler signed his first track "Ali Baba" to Toronto's quintessential imprint, Hustlin Beats. Around the same time, he finished a bootleg remix with Vancouver's pioneer DJ and producer - Pacific, which was quickly scooped by XS Records in the UK. An international bestseller that year, in only a few months it pushed his name to the front of DJ's crates all over the world. Both his released and unreleased tunes receive support from artists like Visionary, Kenny Ken, Muffler and Benny Page, and have led him to his most recent signing of "Future Riddim" to Marcus Visionary's Lion Dubs label.
