DUSTY CRATES

DNA is made up of Daniel Allen & Alex

Yep, we haven’t seen his mug in a while, but last month’s Houston’s Most Hated featured DJ is back on the scene. Daniel Allen (bka DJ DZ) was not only a fixture during the height of Houston’s drum & bass domination, but he also taught me the DJ basics. In the last few years, Daniel’s releases on several labels have given his work well-deserved notoriety. In fact, few of this bad boy’s remixes never leave my DJ crate.

Here’s his rap sheet:

Since buying a pair of old, belt drive turntables at a pawn shop in ’89, Daniel Allen has run the spectrum of music–from 80′s to drum & bass to jackin house and pseudo-techno. As a DJ and producer, he’s all about the dance floor. Check for numerous releases and remixes on Revolutionary Music, Kolour Recordings, and Jackin’ the Box alongside Nathan Stewart under the name “BACKSEAT BINGO.” Also in cahoots with dj 0045, check for releases under “DNA” (Daniel and Alex) on labels such as Cobalt and Pure Trax. Check back for updates, as the release schedule is always updated…www.myspace.com/danielallen54
