DANNY EXILE

Danny Exile is a born and raised Tottenham-ite. Never even left the area
until he was 14, and that was only to go to Roller Express in nearby
Edmonton. Some might say it was a life changing experience, but it was actually a rave.

Christened Daniel Dobie and raised in the ways of the Shaolin, Danny spent much of his youth playing football, listening to 80's hip hop and chasing
the local ladies. It was only the realisation that he wasn't quite going
to make the rigourous demands of the Premiership and the explosion of
pop-hop that forced Danny to realise where his destiny really lied.

After stints working in two independent record shops and releasing music on Kool FM's K-Power imprint(Red Five & Exile - Difference b/w Rebellion), Danny decided that he had to take the whole thing a bit more seriously and proceeded to get himself a job working at the leading d & b distributor around - SRD. This was all in 1999 and five years later Danny's still doing his thing at SRD, now in charge of the company's production and manufacturing which leads to day-to-day involvement with a number of leading labels.

Of course, at some point in between all of this happening, he stumbled
across Future Thinkin and immediately found a common ground with the guys behind the scenes at FT. Danny's upfront selection and his uncomprimising belief that styles should be mixed together as opposed to the trend of `picking your sound' sits well and when asked what style he plays, `drum & bass' is the reply.

Having gained a reputation for being able to get hold of that special
tune, Danny has found himself reaching out far and wide to spread the FT vibe. With his weekly Sunday night show on Origin 95.2FM being one of the most popular pirate shows around and also appearing monthly on Pyrotechnic Radio he is a man dedicated to spreading the sweet sounds of d & b as far as humanly possible. Along with his monthly Traffic residency and appearances at events such as Hospitality, Valve and Renegade Hardware vs. Metalheadz compounding his versatility, he's definitely suited to the task.

Being a firm part of the Traffic furniture, this was highlighted in
Danny's recent set in February when a non appearance by Randall left him with an extended two hour set to close the night. Needless to say he
didn't disappoint and despite the crowds obvious disappointment at not
seeing the nights headliner, many went home with the belief that they had
seen a future headliner in the making
