As Nu:tone Dan is signed to London Elektricity’s Hospital Records and last year released the critically acclaimed ‘Back Of Beyond’ LP.
As a fully-trained musician and keyboard player, Dan Nu:tone has seamlessly integrated himself with Dan Liquid’s production vision and their tracks have, over the past 3 years, consistently hit the top of the international dance charts. From their collaborations with vocalists such as Lisa Millet, Kenny Bobien and Kathy Brown, Danism are behind soulful hits such as ‘One Life’, ‘Feelin’ You’ and ‘Light Up My Life’, while releases such as the ‘Afterdark’ EP and the ‘Astarte’ EP highlight their darker dimensions. Influenced by a whole range of musical genres, Danism’s production output is both prolific and varied while maintaining a definite signature sound. This quality and consistency has resulted in major support right across the house spectrum from the likes of Tony Humphries, Jon Cutler and Alix Alvarez to Laurent Garnier, Roger Sanchez and Mark Knight and The Jinks.
Danism have also worked with the likes of Monique Bingham, but it is their recent collaborations with Haze that has taken their productions, and their plaudits, to the next level. Featuring the staccato spoken word of Haze, ‘Mesmirise’ was a major club hit in 2007 and in 2008 ‘Strike’ is set to be a massive smash. Initially promoted in Miami, ‘Strike’ has subsequently gained widespread club support and has plays from Pete Tong on the ‘Essential Selection’. A genuine club smash that sounds best in its natural dance floor environment, ‘Strike’ is currently receiving support from Martin Solvieg, Fedde Le Grand, The Shapeshifters and CJ Mackintosh and is getting the remix treatment from Mike Gray and Nick ‘Bodyrox’ Bridges

With further remixes forthcoming on Nocturnal Groove as well as original productions already lined up for release on MN2S, Danism are going from strength to strength and are set to maintain a high profile throughout 2008 and beyond.
