About Me

Danny LaPointe has been in the scene since the late 90's. Growing up in Maine but living and traveling up and down the entire east coast, gathering style and sound from dancing on floors in Atlanta, Charlotte, DC, Denver, New York, Detriot, Miami and even Berlin there is no doubt that he knows what moves the crowd. Setting a solid standard of progressive music in his area.
If it was night time you mixed the progressive journey of John Digweed fueled by the techy groove of D-Nox plus the experience of sweating on the floors for 8 years, you’ll have an outline to grasp this artist.
Involved in projects to merge live musicains and djs together, connecting more fields of music under one beat. Making people dance is a standard, using ideas with live musicans plus the addition of sounds created on the spot, and the technical ability to mix in computers and 3 turntables at once makes it easy to feed off the vibe and give the crowd what they want stamped with his sound. Danny works heavily with Pepe as NC Lounge to create an experiance that is always evolving and shaping the scene in the area, while trying to bring everyone that shows outstanding talent together.
In the past year Danny has played all over North Carolina and ventured into the DC, Denver and Atlanta areas. Printed on the sames bills as Donald Glaude, Paul Oakenfold, Deepsky, Planet of the Drums and Carbon Community, being up to par with world class entertainment happens regularly. Currently holding a monthly residence at Talullas in Chapel Hill called Global House working as part of Danny's vision to have a tight link between DC, NC and ATL. He also hosts the weekly with Pepe called Electronic Bliss on thursdays which has grown each week by focusing on giving local talent that is true quality a chance to make an impression on a crowd that loves to dance.
Part of the artist group R3EL which is comprised of artist from all the elements, they are focused on teaching eachother to bring themselves and the scene to the next level.
