Basic NYC Presents DJ Dan @ Sullivan Room On December 5, 2009

New York (Top40 Charts/ Basic NYC) - With a new album on the horizon, a new record label, and brand-new remixes out for major label artists, the dancefloor veteran DJ DAN is on a roll right now. Dan will be bringing his trademark thumping fusion of funky house and buzzing electro back to Sullivan Room on Saturday December 5th, as he headlines Basic NYC for his third visit. Always a crowd favorite, Dan will be previewing his brand-new 'Future Retro' album, so expect plenty of upfront new tunes from Dan on this night.

Despite years in the music industry, 'Future Retro' is Dan's first artist album. The album mixes new tracks with classic house and techno, timeless tunes that have been refurbished for today's dancefloors. The first release from the project - the 'Evolution 1' EP - features a fresh remake of Mr. Fingers' classic house anthem 'Can You Feel It', along with 'Drop Hits', Dan's new collaboration with Hatiras. Dan's even worked his magic on new remixes for Janet Jackson's 'Make Me', as well as Lady Gaga's new hit 'Papparazzi.'

A lifelong west coaster (and native of Olympia, Washington), DJ DAN has been a beloved veteran of the electronic music circuit for over 15 years now. There's no nonsense about the way Dan approaches his music, no pseudo-seriousness: he's all about making the party more explosive each and every time he gets on the decks. Energetic house, techno, breaks and funk are all part of his arsenal, and he's equally as comfortable rocking huge venues as he is in the smaller rooms. Coachella, the Love Parade, Ministry of Sound and the huge Creamfields festival have all been stops for Dan over the years, and his international DJ itinerary is packed every weekend.

Dan built his name and his following as one of the most dynamic DJs in the flourishing California rave scene of the early 1990s. Known as one of the earliest proponents of the funky breaks sound, Dan became a popular figure up and down the west coast. As a resident of San Francisco's legendary Funky Tekno Tribe, his reputation as being one of America's premier party rockers spread rapidly, and his first forays into production soon followed. Tracks like "Loose Caboose" and "Needle Damage (That Zipper Track)" became staples of the world's leading DJs, and he became a regular figure on the mix CD racks at the record stores, with mixes for labels like Moonshine, Kinetic and Thrive collectively selling over 300,000 copies.

Joining Dan on the decks will be Sullivan Room regular Rob Keith from 2 Damn Cheeky, as well as frequent Basic NYC guests Mixer Assassin, with Basic NYC residents Sleepy & Boo closing it out. This will be Aizaz from Mixer Assassin's B-Day bash, so get ready for a festive night all around.
