Dash’s production credits include work with Moguai (Mau5trap), Danny Brown (Fool’s Gold), Despot (Def Jux), NSR, Lakutis, and Das Racist among others.  The first song he produced for Das Racist, “Return To Innocence”, was listed by NY Magazine as one of the ten best uncleared samples in Hip Hop as well as being acclaimed by Pitchfork, The Village Voice, and The Seattle TImes.
