It’s tough to say more about DJ Dan than what is most likely known by just about any dance music fan that has ever taken interest in the genre. Just take a look at what some other legends have said:

“Dan is a pivotal ingredient to live DJing and production, a real teacher to all."-DJ Sneak

"The thing I love about Dan is that he's always had a funky spirit and he always pushes the elements of music."-Carl Cox

To those who still may not know all that much on Dan, we’ll help you out from under that rock. As you can tell from just a bit of the praise from musical icons DJ Dan has received, our West Coast bred friend has been around the block a few times (and turning heads all the while). Music has been forever entrenched in Dan’s life, having garnered a superior record collection at the age of 8 that would give Amoeba Records a run for its money. Starting his professional musical career with some smaller clubs in Seattle and then Los Angeles, DJ Dan had a rise to recognition in the dance music community that could be considered meteoric. Forming the Funky Techno Tribe in 1993, DJ Dan fused together breakbeat, house, dub, and techno to create a sound that later was fittingly crowned, “West Coast House”. And with renowned tracks like “Needle Damage”, and remixes for everyone from Depeche Mode to Duck Sauce, Dan’s production prowess is undeniable. The journey that Dan’s talents have taken him on could go on for pages and pages. He has played alongside the likes of fellow legends from Carl Cox to John Digweed with a mission of making club goers unable to fight the urge to dance the night away.

And it’s not just party goers and fellow DJ’s who bow down to Dan, the press have drooled over his music. DJ Mag named DJ Dan the #1 House DJ in 2006 while Urb Magazine named him “America’s Favorite DJ” and “America’s Hardest Working DJ” while he was also DJ Time’s ‘America’s Best DJ’ 2014 Top Ten Finalist. The media has never been more accurate. But one of the proudest moments could be said when THUMP warned partygoers to ‘never fuck with DJ Dan’ much like one unfateful attdendant did this year in Baltimore to which Dan had the most powerful of responses.

Dan’s widely renowned Los Angeles based label Instereo Recordings,has further etched his name into dance music’s core. With TJR, Phunk Investigation, Wolfgang Gartner, DJ PP, DJ Sneak, Hatiras, and DJ Dan being amongst the many artists featured on the Instereo Recordings, the label is hard to ignore in the industry. Dan also has releases on Toolroom, Pacha Recordings, Ultra, Guesthouse, Work, XL Recordings, Magnetic, Rising, and many others. 

In 2014 Dan shows no signs of slowing down. His EDC set was rated as one of the best sets of the weekend by DJOYBEAT.com as well as Magnetic Mag. Similar buzz had Insomniac President/ CEO Pasquale Rotella chiming in:

"We go back since the early 90′s and he DJ’d some of my first warehouse parties. He’s an LA underground staple and music legend.”

And if that wasn’t enough, in the recent major dance music poll ‘America’s Best DJ’, DJ Dan clocked in at #9 in a extremely competitive field; beating out some of the largest names in electronic music.

As this dance music world continues to evolve, it is safe to say that DJ Dan will continue to be one of its strongest voices and most powerful influencers.

Austin, Texas-based Boogietraxx hails from New York, USA

Releases on: True Romance | Midnight Riot | InStereo Recordings | theBasement Discos | NDYD Records | Spa in Disco | Super Spicy Records | Spincat Records | Blockhead Recordings | Slightly Transformed | Shame Records

As a rhythmic renovator of retro funk, Boogietraxx offers a lens into the discoverse that brought dance music to the masses but offers a uniquely soulful and modern twist. 

Born in Staten Island, NY and now living in Austin, TX for the last few years, Boogietraxx, is helmed by producer/DJ Brandon Keeks who’s also ½ of Hot Fun. And he brings an array of influences in his soundscapes that feature filter house, French touch, and filter funk. 

Brought up on a nutritious diet of Prince, Kashif, George Benson, Daft Punk, DJ Falcon, Romanthony, and countless others, Boogietraxx’s sound is rooted in the future with accentuated basslines and laser-guided melodies. 

Since moving to Austin, Brandon has teamed up with local wellness and entertainment collective, Conscious Raving, to curate dance parties with purpose, and inject a whole lot of suave disco boogie rhythm to each experience. He’s honed his skills all over the circuit at venues like Empire Control Room, Vulcan Gas Company, The Drafting Room, Indra’s Awarehouse, Voodoo Room, and more.

To date, Boogietraxx has released on Super Spicy Records, Hot Digits Music, Shame Records and more. Not only do his tracks offer something fresh out of the funk box, but his sets offer a joyful journey, oscillating anywhere from soulful vocal-driven sonatas to jackin’ house stompers. There really is no limit for what discosphere Boogietraxx will ascend to, so be sure to reserve some life to get lost in the bonafide beats of Boogietraxx!

Straight Music launched in 2009 in Lille by Pao, MainRo & Max Duke. Since the label moved to Brussels and was managed by a new team O.D.Math & Souldust but the spirit behind the label stays. 

Dedicated to the dancefloor, the influences are various and multiple. Deep House, Indie Dance, Nu Disco, Minimal, Tech House... No matter as long as the sound groove.

Thanks to this approach, Straight Music have already collaborated with established artists such as Amine Edge & DANCE, The Mekanism, UGLH, Kreature, Richtberg & Wojkowski or Dark Beat & Millok to name a few...

But the label is still searching about new artists who produce some original sounds. The attention is firmly focused on the deeper soul of quality music, driven by emotion and developed from their very different musical backgrounds.
