Bio
Dia-Nos has performed with Dub FX, Macklemore, The Bug, Manga Beats, Walshy
Fire, performing for Ninja Tune (UK) and many others.
Dia (aka Eric Norberg) and Nostic (Marco Bermudez) grew up in the same
Canadian neighborhood of Victoria BC. They attended the same elementary
school, yet only became friends much later in life, bonding over their shared
passion for graffiti and late night drawing and painting sessions. Once the two
realized that they were channeling a language of symbols, and mutual fascination
with esotericism they formed a graffiti crew that referenced and combined some of
these ancient and modern symbols.
THE RISE OF DIA-NOS
One day Dia asked Nostic “what is the word for symbol in Spanish or Latin for knowledge?”
In Greek ‘gnostic’ means knowledge or ‘know they self’. The two discovered that
the Greek word ‘Dia’ meaning ‘to go through’ shares the symbol with the word
‘diagnostic’. Over a year span, Nostic wrote lyrics reflecting the meanings of their
art and graffiti. One thing led to another, and the duo decided that music was their
vehicle for expression, to share ancient cultural teachings, language, esotericism,
spirituality, and mysticism combined with a modern electronic touch. They
decided to perform and produce an album together.
Dia-Nos have been making beats together since 2012, drawing in over 333 instrumentals. They have released one album as Dia-Nos called, “God’s Of Wine”
and are currently working on their next album “Is”. Their most recent single for
2016, “The Qi Spot” is available for streaming on Soundcloud.
Dia-Nos plan to produce 7 albums all together with music videos, covering many
themes and exploring as many as 33 different genres.
Dia-Nos is touring Europe, Peru and Canada in 2017.
