Billy Daniel Bunter
Background:
DJ: Daniel started DJing in the late 80's early 90's at the age of 15 for
legendary London warehouse rave promoters Labrynth/2000ad,playing all styles of
music including: House, Euro, Hardcore and Drum & Bass. He then moved
through the ranks headlining events such as, Helter Skelter, Rain Dance, World
Dance, Resurrection, and Dreamscape to an audience of 500 - 25'00 Daniel also
began to travel the world extensively to Germany, Ireland, Switzerland Canada,
Australia, Asia & Scotland. Through his knowledge and experience of DJing by
the mid 90's Daniel had his own unique style of Nu Nrg & Hardcore,which he
labelled Hard Dance, and the music press (DJ, Dream, Wax, Muzik), credit him for
pioneering trance core. In that time he also mixed some of the rave scene's
biggest selling CD's. By the late 90's Daniel's style had progressed in to Hard
House and Hard Trance, through this period Daniel remained headlining the UK's
major rave events playing Hard House & Hard Trance, as well as playing at a
number of the UK's original Hard House & Hard Trance club night's,
Infamous/Heresy, Eat Your Words, Country Club, Sunny Side Up, Pendragon. Long
before Hard House had become commercially viable Daniel had established him self
as a well respected figure within the genre for supporting the music from it's
very early roots. 2000 - after 13 years of doing what he loves, Daniel can still
be found week in week out playing at nights such as, Tasty, Fevah, Heat,
Ripsnorter, Antiworld, Fantasy Island, Synergy, Slammin Vinyl, Helter Skelter,
Flash Back and taking in countries such as, Japan, Taiwan, Canada, Australia and
Holland spinning his unique style of uplifting and pumping hard house and hard
trance. Daniel can also be found playing old school sets at various nights. Not
only will he be one of the most experienced hard dance dj's you will get to
book, he will also be one of the most enthusiastic and charismatic, in his own
words … I've got nothing to prove, after 13 years, I've still got the most fun
job in the world, where's the party!!!
