Danny DJ’d for several years in Tenerife & London at a number of clubs & bars, then in his mid-twenties began producing, feeling more drawn to the complexity of production than performing, releasing dozens of E.P.s in some good labels, most notably under the moniker Ynnad Zeugnimod and his own label, De La Casa Records.

And he had immediate success as his debut release on PPM ‘Ol Dirty Blades’ shot to number one worldwide on the Juno Download Disco chart and the Hypeddit Disco chart.

Born in 1975, Danny grew up influenced on a huge variety of genres including; Salsa and Reggae, (both loved in Tenerife.) Spanish 80s Pop, Funk, Disco, Rap, Brazilian and African music of many genres, Jazz, Heavy Metal and Punk.

A key quality in B4ck To L1fe’s productions is his vast taste & knowledge in music, allowing him to deliver a variety of songs from many different genres & tempos & a dizzying array & clever use of percussion, brass & instrumental. His raw talent shines through.

And that can be seen with his stunning debut release in June for PuzzleProjectsMusic; ‘Ol’ Dirty Blades’ (Óyela). Released across three formats including club, dub & vocal versions, the release is a textbook example of his natural ability to work multiple genres into his productions. On paper, it shouldn’t work together, but he achieves it in style.

Following the global success of‘Ol’ Dirty Blades’ (Óyela), B4ck To L1fe returns to PuzzleProjectsMusic with ‘Scenes,’ a three-track EP that takes in filter disco, block-rocking beats and a sultry 80s rework that would have made Prince go weak at the knees.

A travers Côte d’Usure on a décidé de créer une nouvelle entité musicale “opensource”.  

Parce qu'on était usés de toujours devoir se cantonner à certains styles de musique, de souvent voir les mêmes artistes sous les lumières qui s'allument pour certains, parce que nous étions usés de ne pas pouvoir créer un pont que l'on pensait depuis longtemps possible et pertinent entre les différents registres, artistes, influences et sonorités de cette culture globale qui est la vôtre et aussi la nôtre.  

Through Côte d’Usure, we decided to create a new, open source musical entity.

Because we were worn out from always trying to limit ourselves to certain musical styles, to often seeing the same artists in the limelight, because we were worn out from not being able to create a bridge that we thought for a long time possible and relevant, between different registers, artists, influences and sound of this global culture that is yours, and also ours.
