Dan Welton Artist Bio

Dan Welton was born in Switzerland in 1975. Growing up in an artists family, he was always involved with music and as a child he followed his dad for all his hippy gigs, TV shows and showcases. During his teenage years, Dan fell in love with electronic sounds, and covering the Acid house phenomenon and listening to acts like Prodigy, The Shamen and Depeche Mode.

The next step was then to buy his first set up and a whole bunch of tunes to start experimenting with the groove. The first style he embraced was something between progressive and psychedelic trance but then, he became totally addicted to all kind of house music with his first trip to Ibiza in 1999 and never went back.

After some years of spinning Records as a DJ around Switzerland, Dan decided that it was the time for creating his own music and he began to make sexy, dirty deep tracks mixing his eclectic influences.

His first release on Dorigen Music called Higher Love (2004) received a huge support from the international scene. Since then, Dan has signed several other tracks and remixes on Adjust Recordings (his Lisopain tune even went to No 2 in the Beatport most downloaded tracks), Fragile Recordings (Murk played his Foot Therapy track during their last Essential selection on BBC radio 1), Source of Gravity, Helvetica Recordingz and Twisted frequencies. His productions have already been supported and/or charted by djs like Layo & Bushwaka, Laurent Garnier, Satoshi Tomiie, Hernan Cattaneo, Ralph Falcon, Tony Thomas, Chris Cargo, Chris Salt, Anthony Pappa, Terry Francis, Dj Nukem, Dave Mothersole, Terry Francis, Pako & Frederik, David Lara, Dj Paulo, Red & Blue, Danny Graham, Kazell and got airplay on cool radio shows like BBC Radio 1, Ministry of sound radio and Kiss FM to name but a few.

As a DJ he now plays his own individual blend of tribal, tech dirty-kinky house at some of his country’s leading underground clubs and he just starts his own club night called SHOVE that is an awesome way to promote the sound and the djs hes really into!

With some serious solo and collaboration projects ongoing it seems that it just the beginning for him so stay tuned. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
