Dissociate is the solo project of Minneapolis sound designer/dj/producer Jonathan Ford. Heavily influenced by a wide variety of electronic styles including trip hop, IDM and power noise, but also contains elements of tribal percussion and trance. Jonathan also plays guitar and lends production to the band Stellar Vector..........

In contrast with many electronic acts, Dissociate is designed with spontaneity and improvisation in mind. Each song is constructed and arranged in real-time from multiple sound sources and looping sequences. Every performance is a unique exploration of the material often resulting in new musical discoveries within this confined aural space..........................

Since its inception in 2001, the engimatic Dissociate has been one of the hidden treasures of the Twin Cities electronic music community. While there is little recorded work currently available to the public, Dissociate has built a small fan base on the strength of mind altering live performances and word of mouth. Chris Randall (of sister machine gun, micronaut) gave his unofficial endorsement after hearing Dissociate open locally for the Noise.to.Signal tour (micronaut, monstrum sepsis, and amish rake fight) in april 2005, stating that Dissociate was some of the best noise he's heard since Converter..................

Dissociate has performed with Nitzer Ebb, Covenant, Imperative Reaction, Rotorsand, Amish Rake Fight, Monstrum Sepsis, Micronaut, Leichenfeld, Heliosphere,Little Tin Box..........................

Dissociate released the album "DECImate!" exclusively on bandcamp.com in July of 2011, "parse/process" on 5/3/2016. GIVE/TAKE released the EP "Opt Out" in 2023 followed by the remix album "Affect Amalgam: Opt Out Remixes." In July of 2024, the EP "Derealizer" was released.
