An impromptu night selecting tunes at a friends blues party has lead to big things for Selector /DJ, Garvin Dan. Born and rasied in Trinidad and Tobago and an Oxford resident for 20 years Garvin Dan has made a steady career progression since his unexpected start into the Oxford reggae scene. Being invited to DJ for Natty Hi Fi, Oxford's No1 Roots Reggae Sound System in 2007 lead to a resident DJ position and gave way to a love of sharing his varied musical collection and knowledge.

Garvin Dan's musical influences stemmed from his native Trinidadian Soca/Calypso and a Rastafarian background but expanded here in the UK where his first experiences of Jungle/Drum and Bass, World Music and the whole UK bass culture left a lasting impression that resulted in a complete shift in his listening and playing style. 

Roni Size, LTJ Bukem, DM Cut from Future Thinking Crew, DJs Rusher and Fox and Gabriel from Heatwave to name a few were all influential in his musical transition. Earlier influences include World Music DJs, Manello Funkikora, Edu and Trinidadian reggae DJ, Black Chariot. His varied style has been referred to as 'world dance' and he loves being able to mix and flow between genres. 

The welsh festival Afro-Cymru in 2009 and subsequent appearances at Bossaphonic, Oxford's famous World Music club night were personal highlights for Garvin Dan until 2011 when he joined forces with other MC/DJ's and promoters to form the Positive Vibes Crew, a unique group of DJ's and Vocalists who host events and promote their own multi-music genre club nights.

In 2012 the crew were made residents of Rompa's Reggae Shack which lead to appearances at many venues and festivals in the UK collaborating with other DJs such as Marvellous
Cain, Brockie, Marcus Visionary, and artists David Boomer, Gappy Ranks and Natty.

Most recently in 2013 he was invited to perform at a blues party hosted by Jungle Fever promotor Eastman where he played alongside DJs Brockie, Lion Dub,Thunder Banton and Eastman himself which was also streamed live on Koollondon.com internet radio station. 

Garvin Dan continues to play regularly and looks forward to reaching out to a wider audience both in the UK and internationally.
