"If everyone goes right, you go left" he would often say, explaining his effort to get away from Brostep and Riddim, striving more toward the sounds of his now favorite "Nero". He found himself on the line up for Sound Clash of the Titans in 2011 which inspired his first Dubstep original along with his unbreakable friendship with Patrick "Starfish" Constant/Sumone AKA Dj Xclaim. His name now on the lips of western Canadian ravers, this series was quickly defining itself and featured Dan Snakehead's first original "SCOTTI" at the 23:30 mark. Eager now to crank out more mixes, his passion started to intimidate those in similar circles, a theme that would become the norm in his career. He aligned himself with certain labels/sounds and focused on branding as well as emanating the tenets of PLUR that had brought him this far. UKF being the most significant influence, he chose to honor the now world famous blue speaker logo with this, his third mix in the series.
