DJ Dan in NYC

Submitted by Rick on Tue, 07/15/2008 - 7:30am.

Just in case anyone happens to be heading back east this weekend...

It’s been quite a year for the legendary West Coast pioneer DJ DAN. If you’ve been to some of the major electronic music festivals or clubs across the country, you’ve probably caught DJ Dan tearing up a dancefloor alongside his tour partner Donald Glaude on their groundbreaking In Stereo 2x4 Tour. Taking a break from that tour, DJ Dan is coming back to Sullivan Room for a very special solo set on Saturday, July 19th. After devastating the club in November, Dan’s heady mix of electro and driving house will be back to pack the Sullivan Room dancefloor for Basic NYC.
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.

I've met Dan a couple of times. He's a cool, down to Earth guy who has done some solid sets up in the Seattle area clubs over the years. He was in Seattle with Donald Glaude recently for a big dance event. They're a great combo. Donald Glaude's older house sets were actually a big part of the inspiration behind my buying decks and a mixer of my own a few summers ago.

Yes, I'm a big electronic music nerd.

DJ Seth Myles is coming up from the Southwest...

Where would be a good place to promote him?
