Founder of beatsandbobs, the music network for DJs, musicians and streamers. Music, tech and design nerd.

Surf melodic waves and feel the story inspired by wind, water, mineral and light. Each piece is a fragment of intent and an attempt to translate the extraordinary via vibration. It's not just about the notes or the beats, it's about what happens between them.

The adaptive current that carries one further than the stream itself is where boundaries fade and imagination breathes. This is where you'll know you've arrived.

My sound emulates genres of deep house, electronic flux, ambient echoes, all with a signature melodic techno pulse. 

Through resonant frequencies, we can move mountains.

Alan (The Judge) Coulthard is widely regard as one of the pioneering DJ/mixers from the wonderful disco era of the late seventies/early eighties.  He invented the Megamix (now called Mashup) 40 years ago in 1981 and has done Megamixes for Michael Jackson (B side to the number 1, Earth Song in 1995), Janet Jackson (B side to her ‘Black Cat’ classic (number 1 USA in 1990)) and Wham ‘Club Fantastic Megamix’ (Number 15, UK pop charts as an ‘A’ side in 1983). He also started a ‘Megamix craze’ in France in 1989 with his ‘Boney M’ Megamix, which reached number 1 in the pop charts as the ‘A side’ in 1989 and this was followed by a Village People Megamix, which reached number 4 in the pop chart. Subsequently, he completed the well known Mel and Kim Megamix, which was successful in Europe,  He also did many remixes for legendary artists such as Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Sister Sledge.  His most well-known remixes are probably his remixes of Amii Stewart ‘Knock On Wood’ and ‘Light My Fire’ in 1985 and his remix of DNA featuring Suzanne Vega ‘Tom’s Diner’ in 1990, a remix which attracted the interest of Simon Cowell before he became famous, and led to Simon commissioning Alan to do a remix of Sinitta’s ‘Love and Affection’.  After a period away from the music industry, he returned a few years ago with the charity record Living Without Prejudice, ‘Stronger Together’, a cover of the classic song written by Pete Waterman and Mike Stock and first recorded by Sybil in 1993.  The cause was to raise money for LGBTI people in Chechnya who were and still are being persecuted because of their sexual orientation.  The cover reached number 1 on I tunes in November 2017 and is still played today. Alan has also had a number 1 on I Tunes with SCAR ‘The Message’ (summer 2016 - SCAR is Alan plus Rob Sainsbury).  And his SCAR remix with Rob of Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand ‘Enough is Enough’ reached number 3 in the US Bilboard Dance charts in early 2017.  Alan does remixes/mashups under the names High On Life and The Judge, and he is currently working on a High On Life album.  Some old mixes which he completed some years ago will be found here also, under the name The Judge.  Alan also recently combined with well known Dutch house DJ, DJ Sies (Naipal) to complete various projects under he name SNAC (rhyming with ‘SNAP’).  These project will usually reflect their mutual passion for the ‘disco era’ and the 80s although that may not always be the case.

A late night juggernaut responsible for the proliferation of underground electronic music in Bangkok, Dan Buri is connecting the dots between his two worlds. His German upbringing reverberates in the brooding yet melodic soundscapes that he plays but his Thai roots lend him a more lighthearted and the “sabai sabai” approach to everything that he does. In fact, whether he’s playing deep and melodic techno or organic house, his legacy in the city is defined by his high-octane performances and an unparalleled ability to engage and connect with the crowd. Notorious for pushing boundaries into nonexistence, Dan has crafted a career out of fusing together his many worlds in seamless and syncopated harmony. 
Career defining moments come from sharing stages with artists like Sven Väth, Dubfire, Joris Voorn, M.A.N.D.Y, Booka Shade and Azari & III, as well as playing some of the world’s most revered clubs like Katerblau, Tresor, Sisyphos, Time and Kyo. But regardless of where you find him, you will find his dance floor moving, bruising and sweating. Fired by passion and fueled by boundless energy, Dan exudes positive vibes and the mark he’s left on Bangkok’s underground music scene is both impactful and infectious. 

Dan found inspiration in Bangkok’s relentless after-hours affairs and finally breathed life into his own imprint. Aptly named Neverest Records, Dan has been questing tirelessly to create a family amongst Asia’s DJs and producers and build for the region a platform for sharing and connecting, not just within Asia but also with the world – always spreading the after party ethos upon which Neverest was built.  Year 2019 has been looking great for him, landing releases on the legendary Bar 25 Music Label and even the highly acclaimed label of Shir Kahn’s - Exploited Ghetto. 2020 - the year of Corona, has been forcing him to spend more time in his studio and push his creative output! With releases on Akbal Music, Bosom Records and KDB Records he has proven that he is an artist to look out for! The future is looking bright for Dan and every music lover should keep their eyes on Dan’s next steps and his musical evolution.
