Biografie
Dadzie grew up in the southern part of Los Angeles. He first discovered electronic music in high school at raves and jungle parties. Under the DJ name Infiltrata, Dadzie joined forces with DJ Lith to create Imperial Recordings. The new label allowed him to produce original bass and drum beats.
In 2006 Dadzie took his musical career towards a new direction: dubstep. His new musical alias 12th Planet alludes to the novel “The 12th Planet” by author Zecharia Sitchin, which theorizes the existence of another planet called Nibiru. The sci-fi geek explains his music is supposed to feel like “a trip to the 12th planet and back.”
12th Planet has collaborated with big names like Skrillex, Datsik, Doctor P, Plastician, and Skream. The track “Reasons” is a collaboration with Doctor P and was declared by SPIN Magazine as one of the “30 Greatest Dubstep Songs of All Time.” SPIN Magazine has acknowledged 12th Planet as the “King of Dubstep” and UK magazine MixMag dubbed him “US dubstep godfather.”
12th Planet has taken on leadership roles in the music industry including revamping SMOG records in 2007. He continues to be successful as both a producer and a DJ touring internationally in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. 12th Planet has frequented popular EDM festivals like the Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra, Beyond Wonderland, and Nocturnal.

With an invested interest in dubstep, hip hop and drum & bass the sounds 12th Planet makes are assured to have you moving and has a hugeness known for attracting revellers from across a festival site. John Dadzie has been making music since 2006 and in this short time has gained huge respect and appreciation from fans and esteemed artists on the circuit.
His mixing ability is something to behold as he remains in constant motion and incredibly focused whilst a hugely manic party takes place at the foot of his decks. Luckily a barrage of lasers and lights keeps the crowds very much engaged as they dance beneath the frantic displays soundtracked by some of the freshest dubstep beats. His discography is not packed with commercial, international hits as many DJs have nowadays which means John works so much harder for it yet the pay off is equally as massive. Dropping remixes and collaborations with Skrillex also evoke huge cheers from the audience and they both seem pretty reluctant to leave when the lasers eventually quieten down.
