DSEV (dark side entertainment ventures) Music is the brainchild of DJ/Producer Kingsley along with his brother Carlson Ndam, and was founded in 2003. At the heart of DSEV Music sound is the fusion of deep house and west coast house. From the beginning, the goal was to explore new and unique realms of house music that spoke to both their passions and influences.
This journey began many years earlier when Kingsley grew restless with the inability to find the sound that clearly spoke to him and his many tastes. He started by remixing singles with the elements he liked and playing them in his sets. Constant inquires by fellow DJ's and the audience about those tracks led to the first notions of creating a label.
In 2002 Kingsley moved to New York and shortly thereafter the label took root.
The label started releasing singles digitally and via vinyl and continued at a good pace until late 2005 when Kingsley started work on his other major endeavor. The Nightlyfe Group, which includes Nightlyfe TV, Nightlyfe Radio and an events management business.
In 2006 the label got back into the swing of things and released 4 EP's that were well received. In 2007 the Feel Better EP and Soul Brother EP heralded in a new fervor with the label. It is also at this time that The label moved form New York City to washington D.C. The release of the Girl from Brazil EP was Kingsley Flowz largest release at that time and the track received rave reviews worldwide. In 2009 Kingsley Flowz established his commitment to an underground house sound with Fresh and Funky EP, which quickly eclipsed The Girl from Brazil in sales. House Grooves EP once released outsold the other releases which confirmed that fact that his and the label's reputation is growing.
Now in 2010 Several new releases are scheduled and along with Kingsley Flowz' first full length Album.
