Now based in sunny Wales after years in Tokyo, Dan (Pixan Recordings) is a psytrance DJ who has played festivals and parties across Japan, Thailand, Goa, and the UK—including One Day in Ozora Tokyo, Goa Cream, the Tribe of Frog stage at Boomtown, and legendary spots like Shiva Valley, Curlies, and Otogi Camp in Japan—not to mention countless underground outdoor parties across the Japanese mountains.

His sets are a trip into deep grooves, squelchy textures, and rolling basslines—engineered to twist minds and move bodies in equal measure. Known for transforming dancefloors into kaleidoscopic vortexes of energy, Dan brings a distinctively Welsh sense of chaos and colour to the global psytrance scene.

A true shapeshifter behind the decks, he delivers wherever he plays—whether it’s a hidden beach party in Thailand, a packed Tokyo club, or a festival field under the stars. In 2022 he released the compilation Super Spreaders on Pixan Recordings, cementing his reputation as a forward-thinking force in the scene. When the Dan Emms circus arrives, expect mayhem, magic, and a dancefloor that won’t stop spiralling—and a dancefloor that won’t stop dancing.
