Decibel Pilot

Decibel Pilot Trance music producer from Calgary, Canada. Hailing from Calgary, Canada, Decibel Pilot aka. This was his lifelong dream.

Dan Nash, has been a fixture in the Canadian trance scene for over 20 years. His passion for music began at an early age, listening to his dad’s records and eventually falling in love with 90s dance music. As a teenager he was always the one in control of the music selection when hanging out with his friends. His DJ career really took off in 2000 when he began doing large scale high school dance p

arties playing Top 40 music. It was during this time that he discovered his true passion in trance music. In 2002 he got his first set of Technics 1200s and never turned back. Under the alias DJ Eclipse, he quickly established himself as one of the top DJs in Calgary. He held a residency at Sambuca Lounge and played regularly at other venues and festivals in Western Canada including opening for Armin Van Buuren. In 2006 he decided to put his music career on hold and learned how to fly. After spending time as a flight instructor Dan was able to become a full-time airline pilot. Today he flies Boeing 737s for WestJet Airlines. As life stabilized, he realized it was time to get back into music and also learn how to produce his own tracks. He rebranded to his current alias Decibel Pilot to do just that. He quickly established himself again, playing regularly in venues across Western Canada while supporting acts such as Giuseppe Ottaviani, Craig Connelly, and Solarstone. He has original music released on Pure Trance Neon, Magic Island Elevate, and Alter Ego Records with much more to come. You can also catch him live on air as a resident on TrueNorthRadio.ca as well as Afterhours.fm. When he’s not busy flying or writing music you can find Dan hanging out with his wife Jessica, their beautiful daughter and many pets. He is an avid football fan, Formula 1 addict, and loves to cook. Whether it’s in the sky or behind the decks you won’t see him slowing down anytime soon.

First trip to Seoul. We had to take the long way there because of volcanic ash. It ended up being 13.5 hours. My longest ever and maybe even the longest for WestJet too. Had some good BBQ the night we got there and some fried chicken the next day. All in all a good trip.

All right kids, that’s a wrap. Day 4 of Lumi was great. Hearing play classics brought tears to my eyes.

I feel super motivated to get back in the studio as much as possible. I’m going to try and come back for another Lumi in 2027

Lumi day 3 was fun but the body is starting to give. One more day to go.

Our Story

Ever since Dan was a little boy he has had a love for music. Growing up in the 90s he had a love for 90’s Eurodance and collected many CDs. Dan got his first DJ gig back in 1999 doing high school video dances playing top 40 music. During this time he toured all over Canada hitting most big and small towns along the way and was regarded as one of the best DJs in the business.

After 4 years it was time for a change and his love of trance was the way to go. Living in Toronto at the time, Dan got his first set of turntables and learned how to spin vinyl. Upon his return to Calgary he was ready to start conquering the dance floors under the name DJ Eclipse. Over the course of the next few years he held a weekly residency at Sambuca Lounge and played many guest slots at venues in Calgary, Vancouver, and Montreal. In 2006 Dan decided to put his music career on hold and learned how to fly. This was a life long dream. Today he is a Boeing 737 pilot for WestJet Airlines.

Dan’s passion for music never died and he has now learned how to produce his own tracks. Under the new name of Decibel Pilot, Dan is excited to bring you the best trance has to offer.
