Early life
In 2000, Deitcher attended New Westminster Secondary School. He began playing bass in the punk and hardcore scene with a band called Dysfunctional, named after a sticker they had found. Their musical style were inspired from groups such as Refused, NOFX and Anti-Flag. They had developed a small fanbase in North Vancouver and performed at venues before reforming into a more progressive, The Mars Volta/Pink Floyd-inspired group named Orange Orange, which broke up in 2006.
Following the group's disintegration, Deitcher experimented with music production software such as Reason and Cubase. Influenced by the club nights and parties with local DJs, Deitcher acknowledged the similarity of the punk and EDM scenes which prompted him to get involve into the EDM scene.
Deitcher enrolled at the University of British Columbia where he majored in English. He moved to Scotland for a semester at Glasgow University.
2006–10: "Skeleton EP" and "Popular Music"
In December 2006, he emerged on the international blog scene alongside MSTRKRFT with original songs such as "Moss vs. Tree" and "Parisienne".
During his time in the UK, Deitcher signed with a booking agent and started playing weekend shows across Britain and Europe. His third ever show was opening for Justice with an audience of over 4,000 people. By the time he returned to his hometown four months later, he was already an underground star. He opened for MSTRKRFT on their Fist of God tour. He released several more remixes before being signed to Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records and releasing his first EP entitled Skeleton in May 2009.
Four months later, Deitcher released "Drone" as the first single for his debut album "Popular Music". Popular Music was released on February 23, 2010. Along with "Drone", the album featured the singles "Volanco" featuring The Blood Brothers' Johnny Whitney, "World Class Driver" and "Love". Music videos for "Volcano" and "World Class Driver" were made. Deitcher went on tours and performed at music festivals such as Electric Daisy Carnival, Camp Bisco, South by Southwest, and Winter Music Conference.
2011–12: "Different Faces"
In March 2011, Deitcher released a single titled "The Joker" via Dim Mak Records. The song became one of Deitcher's most notable work and was played in the live sets by notable DJs such as Benny Benassi, Laidback Luke and Diplo. After extensive touring, Deitcher started working on his sophomore album which featured several guest vocalists and focused more on catchy melodies, yet still retained his trademark aggressive sound. His second album, Different Faces was released on March 27, 2012, and featured the singles "Dont Turn on the Lights" featuring Polina Goudieva, "Domo", "Black to White" featuring Miss Palmer, and "H.U.N.T" featuring Sebastien Grainger. Different Faces debuted on the iTunes Top 10 Electronic chart in North America.
Continuing his success, Deitcher started a biweekly podcast entitled The Weekend Workout, a one-hour mix showcasing new electronic dance music including unreleased Deitcher tracks. Starting in June 2012, it became a weekly mix broadcast worldwide on SiriusXM and available for free download on iTunes and Soundcloud. On July 25, 2012, a music video for "Higher" featuring New Ivory was released online. On August 14, 2012, Deitcher released the final single for Different Faces, "Tonight" featuring Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds, accompanied by an EP featuring remixes by Autoerotique, Botnek and others.
