About Me


DJ Dan Desumthn has been dedicated to the rave scene since his first party, Camp Earth, which took place at Rocky Point Park in July of 1994. That same year while at a local record shop (Fast Forward Record) , Dan met Volume Productions DJ Venom. From there, his connection to the rave scene grew, and he found himself regularly attending underground parties all around Rhode Island, including locations in Woonsocket, India Point Park, and the Olneyville section of Providence. You could find Dan at the much anticipated outlaw parties at Atlantic Mills and Space. Weekly, Dan attended Sunday school, for a night of underground house music, at club Babyhead (currently Club Hell in downtown Providence) with resident DJs Venom and Ronnie O.D..
Dan started promoting for Volume Productions in early 1996, it was from his promotional tasks that he got his DJ name Dan Desumthn. When adding Dan to guest lists, DJ Venom called promoters and (always forgetting Dans real last name: Desorcy) would tell them Dan Desomething? would show up. The name stuck when he started DJing later that year. Dans DJ career took off when Venom gave him a small stack of records that he wasnt using. Soon after he rocked his first crowd at ENERGY, the long running Volume Productions weekly at the Living Room, in Providence (which is currently at club Energy, 69 UNION ST, Providence).
In 1999-2000 he left Volume to become a promoter and DJ for Strategic Measures and Mass Productions, in Boston. Because Strategic Measures and Mass Productions retired from throwing events He moved back to Providence. Reuniting Dan with his home DJ crew Volume Productions, he quickly became one of the most respected, and dedicated DJs in the country.
Dan has a wide selection of musical tastes; he spins many different types of music, speed garage, new/old school breaks, drum and bass, underground hip-hop, trip-hop, French house, disco house, and swing house. Although he can mix flawlessly in almost any genre, house is definitively the dominant sound in his collection. He proudly injects an nineteen-eighty's element in his music, allowing him to stand out from the rest.
Dan has spun in countless parties and clubs all over the country. Catch Dan Desumthn at Energy, B.P.M. and other various events in New England.
