DJ Dan has been on the cutting edge of forward thinking dance tracks for over 18 years. As one of the pioneers of the west coast explosion throughout the 90s to the present day wave of electro and indie dance, DJ Dan continues to push the envelope as he brings to you his long awaited debut artist album entitled Future Retro.
To celebrate Dan’s 20th anniversary in music, he decided to create something special, one vantage point looking back and paying homage to where we have come, and another looking to the future of where we are going. Based in 2 parts “Future” and “Retro”, its a culmination of all things great on the dance floor, fusing classic dance tracks with Dan's unique blend of funky driving electro; A musical journey that spans the infamous past, present, and looks to the future of electronic music, from Mr. Fingers to Phuture to Frankie Knuckles to Midnight Star...Chicago to Detroit to San Francisco to New York City and back again.
Future Retro is much more than just an album; it’s a way of thinking, an idea, and most importantly a community. FR is a place for any and all music enthusiasts to come and share experiences, thoughts, content. FR is an open stream of consciousness, a place where people can interact with other like-minded individuals, and a forum to share ideas, perspectives, and content from the past…present…and future of music.
I would like to introduce you to the video series entitled Future Retro TV. In this special series of videos i will be bringing to you some exclusive footage from the Past, Present, and Future of music. People, and peers that I have come up with throughout my career and have shared some great moments with, as well as immense respect for. They will be sharing their thoughts on house music, how the scene has evolved, where we have come from, where we are going, experiences, anything and everything from their own journey through dance music. We have some very special guests that will be sharing with the Future Retro community so stay tuned, and I invite everyone to send in and share with us your own videos, favorite old school mixes, thoughts, comments, experiences and stories!
