Dan McKie manages to defy the cliché of genres by producing across the board, be it a underground techno, tech house monster to a peak time commercial dance chart track.
He continues to remix the likes of Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Lady GaGa, David Guetta, Colton Ford, Zimbardo, Dom Kane, on such labels as Joia, Positiva, Warner Bros, Sony, Universal, Columbia, Gusto, EMI, Newstate, RCA/BMG, Simply Recordings, Slip & Slide, and his own imprint 1980 Recordings.
Dan runs a successful record label 1980 Recordings, which has seen releases from the who’s who of the electronic music world. In April 2009 Dan McKie took 1980 Recordings into the clubs with his uber cool label night, Fish Don’t Dance, which he continues to tour around the globe.
In addition to 1980 Recordings, 2010 saw the launch of his second label HotFridge Records with Andy Bury [DeepBlueRecords] and Superfried design. HotFridge avoids categorisation, focusing on quality electronic dance music regardless of the genre or its origins. Already achieving several beatport chart positions HotFirdge will be around for some time yet.
Dan is a UK ambassador for HIV/AIDS charity, dance4life and is now affiliated with hardware/software companies such as Apogee, Fabfilter & Focusrite. Dan is an eccentric, approachable and talented producer who manages to share his passion for electronica on the dance floor and in the ears of the iPod listener with his unique/energetic blend of genre defying DJ sets. Watch this space as the face & sound of dance music as you know it changes!
