  • Music composer, mix engineer and instrumentalist Dino Sofos originally played keyboards for alternative rock band Fetish. In their home country South Africa, they released 2 album’s with the second signed to Virgin records. They had singles in the South African top 10 music charts, a number 1 and supported Smashing Pumpkins, Goo Goo Dolls, The Cult, Skunk Anansie and Lenny Kravitz on their SA tours. After relocating to London they played live between 2002-2004 including Ocean and Shepherd's Bush Empire and a live performance on BBC World Radio. Shortly after this he left the band to continue writing his own music and work as a mix engineer in media and television. After scoring some film soundtracks he wrote a chill-out song called "Breathe Sunshine". Co-produced by Craigie Dodds (Sugababes producer) the song became a chilled-out music favourite and was voted 4th best single in 2004 by the The Big Chill (music festival) in the UK. The song also caught the attention of international AIDS charity Dance4Life and in 2005 DJ Paul van Dyk who had remixed U2, Depeche Mode, Faithless and Underworld (band) heard the song and offered to remix it for the charity. This put the artist on the international map and all proceeds from the remix have gone onto the charity. Due to the exposure of the remix, the original song appeared on other compilation albums in Australia and the US and reached no.2 on Apple’s iTunes electronic stores at the end of 2005. It's been remixed by other DJ's including Drum & Bass outfit Black Sun Empire, DJ Irene (US) and G-Spott (Holland). In 2006 he wrote a full-length electronica album titled "Awakening" under the name MOAB. The music is a mix of down-tempo, breakbeat and ambient soundscape songs and includes vocals from Lucie Burns who sung with Asian Dub Foundation, Jose Padilla (Cafe Del Mar) and Afterlife (Steve Miller). Off the back of his album he has written more soundtracks for trailers in the UK and international trailers including the award winning film "Road to Guantanamo", "All in the Game", "Solaris","28 Days Later" and "Manchurian Candidate" amongst others. He has also produced a growing number of dance remixes under the name Unbroken which have regularly been featured in the DJ sets of Nick Warren, Digweed , Dave Seaman and Hernan Cattaneo amongst others.
