Find A Way (DJ Q Remix)

Danny spent his formative years in the 1990s listening to hip-hop, UK and US garage, soul, rare groove and jazz-funk, but nothing captured his imagination quite like the music of Todd Edwards.

Inspired by Todd’s unique brand of cut-up sample house, Danny started dabbling in music production on a lo-fi setup at university in the late 90s. Fast forward a decade, and after belatedly posting those tracks on SoundCloud they started causing a buzz among parts of the UK Garage community – including Karl ‘Tuff Enuff’ Brown of Tuff Jam.

Spurred by the attention, Danny invested in new setup and started making tracks again – the result was ‘Thinking Of The Day’.

Danny’s breakthrough came in 2011 with his remix of ‘Tell Me (If You Really Want Me)’ by DJ Para feat Robbie Craig for Scott Garcia’s Kronik Music, which attracted attention from UK Garage tastemakers such as DJ EZ.

In 2012 Danny’s ‘Disco Lights’ remix of ‘Turn The Lights Down’ by Scott Diaz on his Connect:d imprint received love from DJs across the globe – including a certain Grant Nelson – which was followed later in the year by Danny’s first EP (Feel The Vibe EP) also on Connect:d, including the tracks ‘Feel The Spirit’, ‘Feeling Love’ and a remix of ‘Feel The Spirit’ by Husky of Random Soul Recordings.

2013 saw Danny’s single ‘Free’ released on US imprint Dingbat Records (DING006), featuring remixes by RiCHARD.GEAR and Ian Bortolotti, as well as the cut ‘I Wanna Fly’. After closing out the year with three releases on Riddler Records, 2014 saw the release of ‘The Voice EP’ on Karl ‘Tuff Enuff’ Brown’s 2TUF4U label.

Danny has also produced remixes of Frenzy’s ‘Wandering Eye’, 8th Note’s ‘Cry For No-One’ and ‘Crazy’ by Leanne Louise for 42TF Recordings, plus remixes of Maydie Myles’ ‘You Got Me Forever’, Beat Rivals’ ‘(Gotta Be) Free’, Chunky Jackson’s ‘What You Do To Me’ and Fully Loaded Project’s ‘Roll With It’ for 2TUF4U Records. 

In 2016 Danny released his debut album, Mosaic Music Volume One, which gained support from Gilles Peterson, DJ Q and Shacho from Soil & "Pimp" Sessions.

2019 saw Danny’s remix of ‘Stranger’ for Kindred Soul get a release on Pogo House Records and receive radio play from Todd Edwards himself, bringing Danny’s musical journey full circle.

In January 2022, Danny made his debut on Marc Cotterell's Plastik People label with the vinyl release of the disco sample cuts 'Summer Heatwave' and 'Give Me Your Love'.
