Whatever It Was - Handy Man Remix

Whatever It Was - feat Lisa Mottram

Nasty is the polar opposite of 1st single Whatever It Was. Dark and consistent, full of noise, energy and drums. Inspired by watching too many serial killer docs it's one of the more uptempo tracks from the forth coming LP A Little Less Fire

Archive’s Danny Gee launches solo side project
Mgmt: tonyp@biglifemanagement.com

Born in 1970, Danny Griffiths is a co-founding member of South London musical collective Archive, one of the UK’s best-kept secrets. Archive regularly tour mainland Europe playing to sold-out crowds, and have graced the main stages of most of Europe’s major festivals during the course of their 25-year history.
In 2020, with the world in lockdown, Danny finally turned his attention to a debut solo album, ‘It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, my own project, writing and producing music but without relying on someone to bounce ideas off and say if things sound good or bad. It’s taken me over 30 years to do this, mostly due to lack of confidence and over thinking, maybe it’s down to turning 50 and finally thinking who gives a fuck, what does it matter in the big picture whether other people like what I do. I love it’.
Working under the nom-de-plume D.Gee Mono, Danny teamed-up with vocalist Lisa Mottram, the most recent addition to the Archive collective ranks, ‘I really wanted to work with Lisa, we were just getting to know each other as artists but hadn’t had chance to build a writing relationship yet, I was loving what we were doing together in Archive, and excited by what she was bringing to our already extraordinary team’. 
The resulting album, the beautifully understated A Little Less Fire, is released 26th March 2021 on Danny’s own Vitamin Gee label, through Republic of Music. 
The genesis of many of the songs on the album came whilst Danny was on tour with Archive in 2019, ‘It’s a strange existence on the road, I often feel a deep sense of quiet just before and after a show, and the album captures that mood. I wanted to keep things simple, beautiful and lo-fi’.
On the future for D.Gee Mono Danny says, ‘I see things evolving as I work with other artists and involve more singers, much like Archive has evolved over the years. It’s taken me a long time to take this first step, I don’t plan on standing still now!’
