Dan Morrell

Dan runs Chicago's fastest growing nightclub promotions company...
Connections
Seven year veteran Mixshow DJ at B96 (WBBM-FM), Chicago’s Most Listened to Radio Station. Chicago Bears’ exclusive DJ for their Official Tailgate Parties and Draft-Day Parties, to name a few. Chicago Bulls’ choice for pre-game warm-up mixes and Luv-a-Bulls cheer mixes. Together with business partner Erik White, Dan also heads up Chicago’s Most Successful Nightclub Marketing/Promotions company Mixmaster Throwdown.
Credentials
First place winner at the Super DJ Spin-off at the RA Nightclub, housed in Las Vegas Luxor Casino in August of 2001. Has since opened for such acts as Kanye West, Diddy, Shakira, Run DMC, Justin Timberlake, Nelly, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Sean Paul, LL Cool J, and Missy Misdemeanor Elliott, among other of today’s hot acts.
Controversy
Served a cease and desist order in 2003 barring him from using his long-time professional name of DJ Smurf. (Dan Morrell is now going by his given name and takes the legal action in stride and as a testament that his work and popularity are finding its way back to Peyo, the German based company that owns the rights to The Smurfs cartoon.)
Trivia
When not honing his DJ abilities, you can often find Dan in the studio working on music production and playing guitar… or out and about developing his marketing and promotions skills, investing in real estate, and enjoying a work-out.
