Born and raised in the northwest suburbs of Detroit, Derek Chase a.k.a. Dilemma has been exposed to a wide variety of music growing up. You can hear his early influences from 80's punk rock, Miami Bass & old school hip-hop in his track selections today. It was his early jungle/D&B selections that landed him a residency at the world renowned Motor Lounge from 1998 till 2000. As part of the weekly Tuesday night called "Family" Dilemma shared his residency with well known locals such as Ronin Selecta, Krus Kontrol, SK1, Brian Gillespie as well as Detroit natives Lauren Flax and Derek Plaslaiko.

In the year 2001 Jungle Juice Productions was created by Dilemma in an effort to keep the D&B scene alive and so began a series of one off events at Motor with artists such as Aphrodite, POTD, and Bad Company UK (EIB). In the several years to follow, much of Dilemmas time was spent improving his skills behind the decks and building up his collection of his newest addiction -- Nu-Skool Breaks. Since the day he discovered this bass heavy, slower tempo European breakbeat sound he has been hooked. So much so that in 2004 Dilemma began what was to be Detroits first even breakbeat monthly - Breakloose. Since its birth Breakloose has seen world renowned artists such as Simply Jeff, Chris Carter, Deekline and Wizard & ED 209, DJ Godfather, Punisher & more and was considered one of Detroits top showcases of local talent in the electronic music scene. Currently residing in West Palm Beach Florida, Dilemma has been spending time building yet another new addiction – UK garage/electro house and finally beginning to play around in the studio. Don't expect anything from the studio to make it publicly any time soon, yet then again you never know. Do keep a look out for the occasional one-off event in the Detroit area as well as events in the South Florida region as well………
