People's Potential Unlimited (PPU) is a very special record label in DC known for discovering and reissuing some of the weirdest and best ultra-rare boogie, funk, and other dance music from the 70s, 80s, 90s as well as a new generation of beat-makers who draw inspiration from these strange worlds of sound.

Started by music fiend Andrew Morgan and operated out of his basement, PPU’s is a world that re-imagines funk as outsider art and cosmic-boogie as a modern variant of folk music. What would it be like if your school janitor made rap music in the broom closet or if someone in middle management still nursed a dream of being the next El Debarge? The label’s roster includes Robbie M., Dwight Sykes, Evans Pyramid, George Franklin Smallwood, Uku Kuut—names found on demo tapes abandoned to time, or else unearthed online. But PPU also pushes the present into the future. Newest members of the PPU family include DC favorite sons Beautiful Swimmers,  Dreamcastmoe, King Pari, PPU VHS Video mulcher Luke Wyatt, LA beathead Benedek, Vancouver space cadets Pender Street Steppers and Miami sound machine Mickey de Grand IV. There's a palpable scent of both mustiness and freshness to be found in all of PPU's grooves though, the smell of funk from a parallel dimension.

Given the infinite capacity of today's digital era, a desire to cut through the noise is what defines Dan Schultz’ approach to making music.

Born in Pretoria and raised in a family where a career in the creative arts was the norm, he quickly took to the guitar and has since worked consistently towards expanding his creative and technical abilities.

Dan's music can be identified by its experimental and progressive qualities; building emotion from the tension and release that is the very nature of Techno. He always works towards creating unique and effective elements that serve to further the individuality of the music.

The combination of this love for articulate, theory-driven electronic music and a passion for technology has developed a style of production that prides itself as much on its intelligence as it does on its dance floor appeal.
