Disco was, for far too long, maligned and misunderstood. It was the original underdog, enjoyed by the outcasts of society until, by some miracle, this minority driven milieu emerged in the mainstream, lodged in the minds of the middle-class through the likes of Ethel Merman, a Disco Duck and countless rock stars crossing over to cash in. Overnight, it was everywhere, albeit in a banal, watered down form, being forced down the throats to such a degree that it was bound to trigger a gag reflex. And it did. Lead by the "Disco Sucks" movement, Disco was retched to the depths from which it came; the underground night clubs, lofts and warehouses that were also to produce house music. The fall of disco, from such dizzying heights, was a blessing in disguise, as only the faithful remained - the dancers, deejays, musicians and producers who got funkier and freakier with the music than ever before.

Beam Me Up’s understanding of Disco is far-removed from the AM radio polyester-set, focusing instead on the soul, funk and jazz which is at the core of this genre-bending movement. It’s expressive, eloquent message is the furthest thing from formulaic, with a four on the floor beat that is tailored for the dance floor and an egalitarian nature that is inclusive, loving and full of positivity. These sentiments have been echoed in the spirt of the guests that Beam Me Up have been able to bring in: Kon, the Boston Disco Don. Al Kent, the Glaswegian Giant. Psychemagik, the Cosmic Couple. Tom Noble, the Regent of Rare. These parties in loft, warehouse and back-room bar alike are the evidence that embody the Beam Me up belief; Disco is not dead.

Daniel T. is a Los Angeles-based DJ and producer. A longtime record collector and digger, Daniel has become a local authority on bygone music. He hosts regular radio shows on Dublab (Crosseyed & Painless) and NTS (Tuff Shed). Daniel started making music a decade ago as one half of Cosmic Kids. Alongside Ron Poznansky, he made a name for himself producing heady house and astral dance tunes, and releasing originals and remixes with cult labels Throne of Blood, Let’s Play House and DFA. 

After a handful of releases with Cosmic Kids, Daniel pivoted toward his own project as Daniel T. His solo output is inspired by everything that you might find leafing through his record collection: funk, post punk, new age and pop of yesteryear (think: Compass Point All Stars to Yellow Magic Orchestra). The music he releases as Daniel T. is a reflection of his global taste filtered through his Southern California surroundings.

Daniel T.’s solo debut, a mini-album titled Tetrachromat, was released in 2015 on Young Adults, to a burst of acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork and Resident Advisor. In 2018, Daniel released a full length on Cascine entitled Heliotrope. In contrast to the steady dance-oriented tempos of Tetrachromat, Heliotrope moves across more dynamic landscapes.
