Dan Bell (www.daniel-bell.com) is one of the most reknowned of Detroit Techno producers. Born in Sacramento, he grew up near Detroit and was influenced by the sound of techno on Motor City radio during the 1980s. In 1991 Dan met with Richie Hawtin and soon joined up with his Plus 8 label. Recording with Hawtin and John Acquaviva as Cybersonik, the trio produced several of the imprint's famed early singles "Technarchy" "Cabaret Seven". Dan's back-to-basics approach to hard minimalistic techno fit in well with Hawtin's aesthetic. After leaving Plus 8 to form his own Accelerate Records in 1992, Bell began recording as DBX. Singles like "Blip," "Flying Saucer," and "Electric Shock" became hot with DJs from Chicago as well as Detroit. In 2000 he released his first mix c.d. with Tresor Records entitled "The Button Down Mind of Daniel Bell" followed by "The Button Down Mind Strikes Back" on Logistic Records in 2003. We are very excited to welcome Dan to Connecticut for his first ever appearance.
