Career

Needing to be resourceful, he learned to do basic recordings for his high school bands.
Engineering was an instinctual progression and it was the purist recording styles of the 60s and 70s that really inspired him. In 1996, he opened Nu-Tone Studios in Pittsburg, Ca with fellow engineer Willie Samuels.
In 2003, The Effection, with Dugan as the band’s drummer, released the album “Soundtrack To A Moment” on Adeline Records. In 2002, Dugan began engineering for Green Day out of JingleTown Recording in Oakland, Ca, at that time called Studio 880.
