Biography of DJ Dan
A native of Olympia, WA, DJ DAN first experienced music as a welcome escape, surrounded as he was by nine brothers and sisters. By age 14, he'd figured out how to rig his tape deck to the turntable to record to tape. Around this time, he also developed a passion for clothing design, so much that he was later accepted into Seattle's prestigious Thomas Edison School of Design, from which he graduated at the top of his class. Attending his first rave in L.A. in 1991 put his design career on hold. 'Something flipped, ' he recalls. 'I realized my true calling. I knew this was something I must do.' DAN spent every waking minute learning the art of mixing, scratching and programming, and soon he was ready to test his mettle in the club scene.
He hooked up with L.A. DJ Ron D Core, and by 1992, DAN had emerged as one of the cities top DJ's at a time when the city's rave scene hit its peak. 'The parties were so fresh, so colorful,' he remembers. 'There were no categories back then, nobody came in with preconceived notions of what the music should be. Those were the moments that started the trends.' As the L.A. rave scene waned, DAN and Ron launched No-Doz, a musically diverse club that set a new standard for after-hour parties. Meanwhile, DAN was also beginning to get frequent bookings in San Francisco, eventually causing him to move north.
His involvement with the Bay Area DJ collective Funky Tekno Tribe was a significant milestone on the establishment of what is known today as the signature West Coast house sound. The sounds of the DJ's--which included fusing funk and hip-hop with breaks and melodies--were a great influence on DAN, and caused him to revisit those sounds he loved so much in his youth, thus morphing into his own personalized sound. DJ DAN's international profile expanded exponentially with the release of the groundbreaking 'Loose Caboose' by the Electroliners, a classic track he co-wrote and co-produced with Jim Hopkins. It was soon picked up by XL Records in the U.K., which led to a fruitful partnership between DAN and famed DJ Carl Cox. The Electroliners continued to create many remixes, which only bolstered DJ DAN's reputation as a producer. Since then, he's remixed projects for Keoki, Groove Armada, Filter, A Tribe Called Quest, Olive and Orgy, the latter of which obtained platinum status with 'Blue Monday.'
When asked about the direction of music today, DAN says, 'Music is hard to categorize now than it's ever been. Techno guys playing tracks slowed down could be house...speeded up could be techno. I don't think it should be classified. It should be based on if it's good or not. A good record is a good record.'
As for his own persona, DJ DAN defies the conventional wisdom that the DJ has to retain a kind of standoffish mystique. 'I got into this,' says DAN, 'because I love how people unite on the dance floor, bringing in their own energy and excitement. So, I never turn my back on the crowd.' And they've never turned their backs on him. DJ DAN remains a towering figure in the world of dance music, always a step ahead in bringing new musical styles to his fans. He is a DJ for the people burning up dance floors around the world.

Biography of Big League Chu
Colin Chu, better known as Big League Chu, is simply the leading DJ talent in Canada?s breakbeat scene today. After nearly a decade of DJing, his name is synonymous with the funky, party-happy sound that?s become Chu?s rallying call - and it?s one that crowds answer faithfully. Whether it?s at his residencies at Toronto?s legendary Breaksfest events, Fridays bi-weekly on the Dynacord at Boa-Redux, or every Saturday at Toronto's superclub the Docks.
In a city renowned as one of North America's largest party scenes, Chu has played alongside the worlds finest, allowing him to develop his own distinct style of breaks. Chu's sets can vary from hard beats to melodic funky down tempo sounds, but always remains a crowd mover.
The born and raised Torontonian began spinning in London, Ontario while taking his undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology at The University of Western Ontario. Chu quickly garnered attention at local parties, leading to gigs in Toronto, including the Dose event in the summer of 1999 when he was asked to fill in for Barry Weaver for his second appearance in the city. He so impressed organizers that Chu was then asked to play the 14,000 plus crowd at the annual Dose Freakin’ Halloween event later that year, and as since become a mainstay for Toronto's largest party companies, like Metro Productions (Kickit and Out of Hand), Lifeforce Industries (Dose, Syrous and Renegades), Empire, and Liquid Adrenaline.
Passion for music and fun are what motivates Chu, who plays the piano, flute and guitar, and counts the Dave Matthews Band and Public Enemy as his biggest musical influences. It’s this good-natured respect for good times and eclectic sounds that has garnered this humble DJ of Hong Kong and Singaporean descent to such a steady stream of press, from underground publications like Tribe and Klublife to mainstream outlets like the Toronto Star and Eye weekly.
Away from the turntables, Chu produces original tracks, both on his own and in collaboration with fellow DJ, Incog, under the moniker of Zoo Soundsystem, which recently released the track “Fever” on Toronto’s Promo Records. His future projects include releases on DJ Love’s Stellar Music label. Chu is represented by APT Entertainment Inc. and more booking info can be found at www.aptentertainment.com.
