Charles Walker, professionally known as cdisiac, is a DJ, producer, and cultural curator redefining the nightlife experience in Des Moines, Iowa, and beyond. Infusing every performance with vibrant, inclusive energy, he creates a space where music and movement become a celebration of freedom and connection. Renowned for his dynamic, danceable mixes, cdisiac seamlessly blends genres like House, Amapiano, Baile Funk, Reggaeton, Jersey Club, and more, crafting immersive sonic journeys that inspire and unite.

Drawing inspiration from icons such as Kaytranada, Joe Kay, and Jyoty, as well as cultural movements like Boiler Room, Soulection, Everyday People, and Temporary Pleasure, cdisiac channels these influences into electrifying sets that transcend borders and speak directly to the soul.

Beyond the dance floor, cdisiac is a passionate advocate for global sounds and cultural unity. Through platforms like his YouTube series Subtle Sessions—which has garnered over 20,000 views—and viral TikTok videos amassing 750,000+ views, he captivates audiences both digitally and in person. His remix project, Backside Beats Vol. 1, breathes new life into ’90s Def Jam Bass All-Stars tracks, blending nostalgia with innovative artistry.

With community at the heart of his craft, cdisiac is on a mission to connect people through music, bringing the world together one beat at a time. Every set is an open invitation to dance, discover, and belong, proving that music truly is a universal language.
SubtleSound.wav isn’t just a party—it’s a frequency. Curated by Charles Walker (aka cdisiac), this nomadic club experience redefines nightlife in Des Moines, Iowa, bringing the pulse of global dance music to an underserved scene. Rooted in genres like House, Amapiano, Baile Funk, Jersey Club, and Reggaeton, alongside classics like Soul House, Miami Bass, and Old-School R&B and Hip-Hop just to name a few, SubtleSound.wav creates a euphoric, intimate space where music transcends boundaries and unites communities.

Inspired by movements like Boiler Room and the 90s rave scene, every event immerses attendees in a high-energy, inclusive atmosphere that encourages freedom, expression, and discovery. With a touring format and a mission to respond to the death of purpose-built nightclubs, SubtleSound.wav also champions local talent, giving DJs a platform to shine while introducing audiences to diverse, danceable sounds from around the world.

Now heading into its ninth iteration, with attendance growing 20-30% each time and crowds of 600+ traveling from across the region, SubtleSound.wav is on the cusp of something extraordinary.
