Who is Behind Slim Collective?

​

Josh Dykzeul is a highly driven 26-year-old electronic music artist. He was born in the small town of Danville, California where he began his journey into the realm of music and sound. It all began with his older brother introducing him to electronic music artists such as ZEDD, Skrillex, and Deadmau5. ZEDD's track, “Clarity,” was one of Josh's first notable inspirations that later led to the creation of the alias BeatMaster Slim.

​

While Josh started out his journey as a Music Artist, his journey turned into much more when he started his own Audio Services and Digital Media company, Slim Collective. The company launched in 2024, and offers Audio Services, Sample Packs, and Original Music. VSTs, Presets, and much more are on the way and coming soon!

​

Way before Slim Collective, Josh began producing music in 2014 and released his debut EP, Gorgeous, on July 20th, 2018. After releasing Gorgeous, Josh has released several other tracks. Each track is unique and is its own work of art. Josh, similar to David Bowie, doesn’t stick to one specific style of music. Instead of conforming to mainstream trends, his tracks are emotionally driven at the time of creation.   

 

Upon graduating High School, Josh moved to Bend, Oregon where he attended Central Oregon Community College and earned his AAOT. Josh recently graduated from University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Technology, and resides in Bend, Oregon. 

The name BeatMaster Slim originated from a physician misdiagnosing Josh with an irregular heartbeat in his Sophomore year of High School. An echocardiogram revealed that he was so skinny, due to excessive Track and Cross Country training, that his heart sounded noisier than normal.
