Influences
What I play - yamms and gamms, disco re-edits, good broken stuff -domu, bugz, 2000 black etc. proper hip hop - I love jaydee/madlib stuff, metro area style stuff, Steve kotey, moodyman, Henrik Schwarz, Rush Hour, Pepe Braddock, Daniel Wang, Maurice Fulton (his recent remixes) I am into my old skool disco hip hop stuff, I will drop anything as long as its good. I have been getting a bit more into soul ish stuff recently. I am also really feeling punk funk - esg, magnificent era clash, tom tom club etc.
Influences - Parliament/funkadelic, funk music, jazz (but nothing too anal) Detroit!!! good moodyman, Herbert, Domu, Bugz, Metro Area, MAdlib, Jaydee, Afro Beat, Maurice Fulton, punk funk, ESG, shady coke disco stuff, real hip hop, real house music, dubstep
I lived in edinburgh in 1995 when there was a lot going off there - hip hop/jazz/funk/soul shit - used to record at the same studio as blackanised/Joseph Malik - his producer Unkle Jack - produced my band when I was 19 - living in edinburgh and seeing how on it people were there in '95 has inspired me - they had the whole cool bar djing thing locked down before any one else!
Danny Berman aka Red Rack’em is well known for his naughty pirate soul remixes and disco edits which have been supported by the likes of the Unabombers, Todd Terje, Swag, Yam Who, Prins Thomas as well as institutions such as Fat City and Piccadilly Records. But this is only one small part of Dannys musical voyage. As a DJ he is known for his club rocking, genre busting eclectic sets and this diversity is reflected in his broad output as a producer. He makes cutting edge detroit 2 step as Marlinspike, wonky disco and cosmic boogie as Hot Coins plus beatdown house and glitchy hip hop as Red Rack’em. His work is respected by heroes such as Carl Craig, the Idjut Boys, the Rush Hour crew and Domu. The biggest supporter though, has been Gilles Peterson who has played several tracks on Radio 1 and recently commissioned a Red Rack’em guestmix for his Worldwide International Show. He has also been invited to play at the 2009 Worldwide awards alongside his heroes Jazzanova.
Danny recently returned to the Hot Coins disco project with the Laissez Faire EP on Society Records which was awarded record of the week by Piccadilly and was well supported by Prins Thomas, Chris Duckenfield, Soul Mekanik and Bill Brewster. The lead track Norway Man was licenced to Fred Deakins ‘Nu Balearica’ comp on Ministry Of Sound. This led to him signing an album deal with the mighty Tirk Recordings who have just released the Valiant Truth EP which has also been well received. Dannys unique take on beatdown has also been well received, with EPs on Untracked and Autodiscoteque pushing a distinctly housey sound. He is currently hard at work on the Loose Change album for Tirk which should be out by summer 2009.

NOT TO BE MISSED!
Reds DJ performances are held in high regard and he has the rare talent of being able to play quality sets in several different fields or throw the whole lot together and join the dots between broken beat, electro, futuristic hip hop, proper Detroit house, 2 step and rough disco. This diversity has seen him perform alongside many heavy hitters… cosmic disco vibes with Lindstrom and Prins Thomas….raw dubstep with Benga, Hatcha and N Type….futuristic hip hop with Flying Lotus….Detroit house with Demarkus Lewis… deep techno with Modeselektor and Move D…..
His broad taste in music has also led to him being in demand as a warm up DJ for several bands including Fat Freddys Drop, Dwele and Amp Fiddler.
