My good friend Danny Daze is probably the hardest working and most underrated DJ in Miami. If you know of anyone that works more, sleeps less, and also cannot grow a beard under any circumstances, show him to me--We will have a death match. Danny won the Miami Herald's 'Best Club DJ' award for 2007, as well as The New Times' Reader's Choice Club DJ award in the Best of 2007 issue.
Among a host of production monikers, Danny is also one half of CrooklynClan.net's Discotech (DJs, this should ring some bells). As the fastest selling artist in their history, Discotech has just become the number 2 number 1 top seller on the site. If that means nothing to you, just smile and nod. Considering that achievement, and the fact that he'll probably be number one by the time you read this Is Number 1 now, I thought I might give the man some well-deserved respect.
If you haven't heard Danny play because you've been living under a large rock and only come out during season, you can catch him Friday at Cameo (upstairs in Vice), and Saturday at O Asian Grill. Amidst a sea of one night stands with ugly mediocre DJs, Danny stands out. Besides, he's now taking applications for new groupies, so get in line! (I'm going to get my ass kicked for that)
Miami Nights: What is your preferred equipment?
Danny Daze: If it's an open format set, i like to use Technic 1200's, with the TTM 57 mixer. if I'm doing an electronic set, I like to use the pioneer 1000's with the pioneer 800. As far as headphones go, I really don't care as long as they swivel.
