When it comes to techno, electro, and more importantly Electroclash, few can argue The Hacker’s credentials. The Frenchman was instrumental in the formative years of these movements and being active since the mid-90s has meant his discography is positively bursting with pivotal moments from electronic music. It is nearly impossible to discuss The Hacker without mentioning Miss Kittin, with some of their work such as “Champagne” EP including seminal tracks “Frank Sinatra” and “!982”. This is of course only a small, but not very important part of The Hacker’s story. With a string of solo albums and countless EPs to his name, the cross-section of electronic music that The Hacker enjoys is wide. From spacey techno to grinding electro, Michel Amato has long been one of the first names in electronic music. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-203-the-hacker/]

It took a village. 

Hailing from a small village on the Isle of Wight, England & growing up in the 1990’s surrounded by the illegal rave culture at the time of farms, fields & forests, Danny fostered his passion and search for music, subculture & unconventional people. Ranging from the heavily straight world of jungle, breaks & drum & bass to the gay hedonism of progressive house in the 90’s to the posing queer electroclash scene & fashion world of Central Saint Martins in the 2000’s. Since moving to London in 1999 he then took a fateful trip to New York City in 2012, he never left. 

Danny Clobber, also known as A Village Raid, Donnatella, Stella is a key figure in the NYC underground & DIY queer nightlife scene, particularly known for his crucial role & involvement in The Spectrum & The Dreamhouse. As a cultural curator, nightlife promoter and DJ, Clobber played a significant role in shaping the vibrant prism and radically inclusive energy of The Spectrum & later The Dreamhouse. He helped forge new unregulated ways to be together & provide a refuge for queer, trans & POC communities from mainstream nightlife & a hostile political landscape. 

His contributions helped make The Spectrum/Dreamhouse an iconic part of Brooklyn’s queer underground scene in the 2010’s.

Clobber’s work has extended beyond nightlife with multiple releases, working in film, theatre & advertising & composing for the likes of Diesel to Disney, Vivienne Westwood to Wedgewood. He continues to create a world of music & film encompassing a life lived as a cultural magpie and global nomad.
