Danny J Lewis “Life Back Then”

To celebrate an incredible thirty years of music releases, Danny J Lewis goes back to his 90s roots with a collection of five brand new tracks released across five weeks, exclusively available in extended format on Traxsource.com. Album art features a unique 90s arcade game aesthetic and an accompanying story video showing Danny using a Time Machine to travel back to his favourite decade. Each track has been created with love, using authentic production approaches that echo the methods Danny used back in the day on those early vinyl releases. Every track in the collection brings its own perspective on the sound, ranging from deep to peaktime to emotive and soulful. Danny was one of a handful of UK producers making this sound in those early days alongside esteemed peers such as Ricky Morrison, Booker T, Joey Musaphia and Grant Nelson and has taken a reflective look back on his younger self:

“I’ve tried to forget about modern techniques and plugins and put my mind and spirit back into that 24 year old version of me. The young Danny in 1994 was so damn passionate and excited about making music but also quite innocent/naive and rather lacking in technical skills so I’ve taken that mindset and essentially rebooted myself with this collection but kept the learnt technical skills to keep the audio quality high”

In coming weeks, all five tracks in radio edit form will become a complete album for listening to on streaming services. All tracks are written, produced, mixed and mastered by Danny J Lewis for Just Underground Recordings.
