Dan Gilbert has been causing trouble on two turntables since 1990 in the days when vinyl was king. His journey began in the university town of Cambridge as part of the Clueless System. During his time with Clueless he played at a variety of legendary venues including the Marquee club, Heaven, The Rocket, Bagley’s and many more. He also held a residency in Amsterdam and played at a number of events throughout Europe in countries including Spain & Denmark. 

After years of ecstatic pleasure it was time to move on from Cambridge and Dan landed a job at Massive Records in Oxford. It was here that he spent 9 years immersed in vinyl culture selling records day in, day out and living the dream. During his time at Massive, Dan kept on playing adding the Ministry of Sound and parties in Croatia to his roster.  It was also during this time that Dan hooked up with Gordon of Babylon to form the Antirockers Soundsystem who secured gigs with the Gorillaz DJ’s in Berlin, festivals in Spain and Urban Nerds at 93 Feet East. 

Now moving into the world of production as the 'Acid House Hasbeens' his first release 'Echoes of Voices' is forthcoming on Fine Acid Recordings a label he co owns with long time cohort Alex Sullivan aka Bloke Zero.
