About Me

“True to his remixer roots Lee always keeps one eye on the dancefloor while keeping the other on his guitar pedals, with big ass-shaking beats…”

– David Mansdorf, LOSINGTODAY Magazine

The Invisible Kid is the brainchild of New York City-based producer/ songwriter/ performer Daniel Lee. The music is a mixture of 80's new wave, 90's indie and shoegazer textures, and modern electronic/mashup situations. "The Invisible Kid" debut self-titled EP was released on November 29, 2005 and was followed by an assortment of remix work in 2006.

In 2002, Daniel Lee completed a remix for seminal UK trip-hop/electronic artists, the Sneaker Pimps , on their international single release for "Sick", which received national radio airplay. Under The Invisible Kid moniker, he has most recently completed remixes of Pittsburgh-based band Shade ; the DC-based outfit Soft Complex ; Portland, Maine's Paranoid Social Club ; Detroit, Michigan soul/funk master Nadir ; fellow New York City shoegaze outfits Autumn Thieves , Elika , Soundpool , Dead Leaf Echo , and Project Skyward ; and British artists SOKI2U and Laurence Colbert (formerly of the seminal group Ride ).

This year has a lot in store for Daniel Lee and The Invisible Kid project – including various live performances (both as a one-man live DJ/PA production, and as a full live band), finishing production on the second record, a full LP tentatively scheduled for an early 2008 release.
