Jared Dillian heard Erasure's "Hideaway" at age 13 and was forever hooked on electronic music, amassing a giant CD (and cassette) collection one $10 allowance at a time. A classically trained pianist and organist, his love for electronic music continued through adolescence and into adulthood. After being thoroughly rinsed in the financial crisis of 2008, he decided to at last pursue his dream of being a DJ, splurging on top-of-the-line Pioneer decks and mixer. Trance was his gateway drug, but today he plays a blend of progressive house and organic house. His stripped-down, melodic sound is instantly recognizable: dark, masculine underground techno beats with progressive elements, both emotive and lyrical--but never commercial.

Throughout his career, Stochastic has played a wide range of venues, from hometown gigs in South Carolina to stages as big as Omnia in Las Vegas, including a few mini-residencies in New York along the way--not to mention performances across the country and throughout the world. He darkened the door of clubs such as Pacha and Cielo in NYC, learning the art of the warmup, and has provided support to Zedd and other A-list DJs. Thousands of people have been uplifted and moved by Stochastic sets: uplifting, seamless energy builders that never leave you wanting more.
