History

DIN was founded in 1992 out of Canada as a solo outlet for Jean-Claude Cutz of Digital Poodle. Cutz used to say "din" as a way of imitating the cowbell sound while beatboxing. DIN's debut was released in 1992 by DOVe and titled Fantastic Planet . [1] Thematically the music is about escapism and fantasy and makes reference to horror and fantasy soundtracks. [2] The EP Water Sports was released in 1993 and was followed by Decade of the Brain in 1994, both released by DOVe. [3] [4] These releases were recognized for Cutz's esoteric combination of techno and ambient music. [5] DIN re-recorded Fantastic Planet and released the sessions on Fantastic Planet Revisited in 1996 for Hypnotic Records. [6]
