Residing in Copenhagen and with more than 14 years of experience as a professional Dj, Ryan Dank is a passionate and driving force of the Copenhagen club scene. Aside from being a dedicated music lover and record collector, Ryan is also a producer, who has been featured on collaborative white label projects as well as independent releases. He has mainly released music under his alias Toke Ekelund, but is primarily focused on his Dj project Ryan Dank, which mostly revolves around Deep- and Funk driven House music, with a twist of Minimal, Acid and Electro.
 
With past residencies at the best clubs in Copenhagen like the infamous, now closed, Dunkel, Jolene, Werkstatt and Culturebox, as well as having played various festivals, and cities across Europe, Ryan has been around the block.
