 A self-described Audio Addict, DS Peligro is making experimental soundscapes, songs, collages, tracks, etc. with total conviction and integrity to the craft. His guitar playing is tops. His vocal style is somewhere between Lou Reed and Stan Ridgeway. His production value is premium.
 Combining those skills, DS Peligro consistently manages to take feelings and emotions and translates them into the audio spectrum of our shared reality and presenting to us, the listener, a rare glimpse at the truest essence of the artist.
 He is a one man show, self composing, performing, producing and releasing his unique brand of experimental no-fi since the early 1970's as a kid on west side of L.A. DS Peligro draws on that long pedigree to create some of the most unique and inspiring experimental music today.
 And he's legit from the start. As a kid in he was recording everything from toilet flushes to construction sites to the bass guitar he pulled out of the garbage. And then layering sounds on an old reel-to-reel he salvaged from a fire.
At age 10 his dad gave him a CB Radio which he used to harrass local CBers with his very first radio program  "The Bubba Jones Show." Despite threats and near-constant attempts to triangulate his position, he was never discovered.  Then he moved on to dubbing cassettes and taping them to telephone poles. He was leaving them on the counters at local record stores.
In the early 80s, DS was quickly accepted into the tiny dark underground L.A. art scene. He had a 'highly unusual' setup of tape machines, effects units, a cheap synthesizer, and electric bass and one cymbal. His sound was raw, twisted, loud and distorted - so much so that he was often ushered out, and sometimes forcibly ejected from his own performances!
 The late 80s were a mash-up of drugs, home recording, confusion and pirate radio (transmitted from his Mazda). Since then he's worked doing location sound and restoration for adult films, for radio stations (MARS FM 103.1), tv stations (KCBS, KTLA), and LA Theatre Works,
And he just can't stop! He's still recording daily. The quality and the pace of his output is stunning. Lots to hear and feel when you delve into the experimental audio world of DS Peligro.
