Dex Arson

Dex Arson is a Canadian musician and EDM artist known for his electro and dubstep songs, which is used in the video game Geometry Dash and Project Arrhythmia. He is also a Twitch streamer. 
== Beginnings ==
Dex originally created his YouTube channel in January 2012, and uploaded his first two songs on the same day, City Lights and a remix of Swedish House Mafia's Save The World.
He would later on release other songs such as Purge and Neckbrace. However, they did not gain him much exposure as expected, which caused him to go on an indefinite hiatus in late 2012, after remixing Chris Lake's Sundown. The channel lasted for almost a year. 
It is believed that Dex forgot the password to his first channel, since it has not been revived even after his return.
=== Late 2013-2015: Return to music ===
After being on hiatus for a year, Dex returned to YouTube with another account, this time under the username MrDexarson in November 2013 after opening accounts on Newgrounds and Soundcloud. He would later start uploading on YouTube in early 2014, with his VIP remix of one of his songs, Lady Killer. He also released his debut album, Playing With Fire, later that year, which contains singles from his SoundCloud. The album was succeeded by Welcome To War, an EP released the following year, which contains a remix of Machina, the artist's most popular song. 
=== 2016: Geometry Dash World and rise to fame ===
Dex started rising to fame in 2016 after songs from Playing With Fire and Welcome To War were used in the video game Geometry Dash World. Fans of the game started discovering his music, and his numbers greatly increased. To keep up with the growing traction, he uploaded the rest of his tracks from his albums which were not uploaded before and formerly wrote "Geometry Dash World" right next to every song which appeared in the game. 
=== Other music ===
Dex also does long hour music mixes on his channel, and has collaborated with other artists who've established a name for themselves in the Geometry Dash community, such as ColBreakz, Bossfight and the now-defunct Etzer, most notably in his Bipolar Rampage Squad EP. He also collaborated with several obscure vocalists like Charlie Zane and Emily Abela, with the latter being featured on his song Unarmed. 
== Style ==
Originally, he mainly produced electro house music and sometimes glitch hop. But after the release of Welcome To War, he shifted his focus towards dubstep, and has been his signature sound ever since. 
Another thing pointed out in his songs is its violent-like theme. He tends to use profane vocal phrases or those talking about battery/arson.
