Detroit educated Josh Dahlberg has been producing music and DJing for over twenty years. His analog-centered approach blends house, techno, electro, and experimental; most notably as The Valley and the Mountain (abbr. TVTM). As TVTM, Josh explores the tension between nature and technology to create everything from moody dance floor grooves and atmospheric soundscapes.
While in Detroit, Josh had the privilege to work for the legendary Underground Resistance/Submerge camp; a transformative experience that fundamentally influences his world view broadly, and approach to creating music specifically. His former label, Blank Artists, released 25+ albums and EPs that included artists such as Jared Wilson, Osborne, Monty Luke, Ectomorph, and Derek Plaslaiko.
After quietly shuttering Blank Artists in 2012, he unceremoniously deleted all his social media and continued to write music secretly as TVTM. He’s since released a series of records with Belgium’s WéMè Records and Dutch label Shipwrec alongside artists like Drexciya’s Gerald Donald, DJ Stingray, DMX Krew, JD Twitch, and Ceephax Acid Crew.
Recently he relocated to the Pacific Northwest and channels the natural landscape into his productions. Having a reputation as a versatile albeit reclusive artist, Dahlberg continues to explore the vastness of electronically made music while honoring his house and techno roots.
