Dave Huismans (born 1979), better known by his stage name 2562, is a Dutch musician from The Hague, Netherlands.[1]

Huismans bought his first laptop dedicated for music production in 2003 despite not knowing how to read musical notation.[1]

Having previously released records of various musical styles under the monikers A Made Up Sound and Dogdaze,[2] Huismans created 2562, under which his output is generally described as dubstep.[3][4][5] He is known for producing dubstep that takes influence from techno as well.[6]

The debut 2562 album, Aerial (Tectonic Records, 2008), was released to favourable reviews.[7][8][9]
