Danny Russell is a Berlin based British DJ, who has seen impressive international success through his consistent stream of productions and edits, most notably his 2018 release Watchin out, produced with Milan based duo, the Dirty Channels. The record was Mixmag’s ‘Tune of the month’ for July 2018, and instantly shot to Number 1 in the Juno vinyl sales charts across all genres, a position it held for several weeks. The record was subsequently licensed to Defected Records to be included on their ‘Most Rated 2019’ compilation after widespread festival and club play from DJ’s such as Dan Shake, Red Rack’em, Josh Wink, DJ Boring. Jeremy Underground and Giles Peterson. With Giles including it on his BBC Radio 6 Music show, and Dan playing it on his Sugar Mountain Boiler Room mix to thousands at the Australian festival.

Musical career
Danny’s 2016 debut release ‘Party All Night Long ’ on DJ Kaos’ Jolly Jams label became a big favourite for DJ’s such as James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Darshan Jesrani (Metro Area), Marcel Vogel, Luke Solomon, Jacques Renault, Danny Krivit, and DJ Harvey. This was followed by ‘Hoppers Rant’ and ‘Let’s Go’ released in 2017 and produced with Timothy Alexander. ‘Hoppers Rant’ went on to top the Beatport acid house chart, and ‘Let’s go’ became a summer hit with DJ’s like Neil Diablo (El Diablo’s Social Club), Ron Basejam (Crazy P), and Phat Phil Cooper, with Juno comparing it to releases by the Idjut Boys.

A DJ since 1998 and nephew of the legendary Hacienda Regular and Home Club Resident DJ Billy Caldwell, Danny honed his skills on the Manchester Underground scene and was a constant fixture at many of the city’s most reputable venues from The Attic and Zumbar to The Music Box and Sankeys. Berlin appearances have included venues such as Watergate, Suciide Circus, King Size, KitkatCub and Neue Heimat, and globally gigs across Europe, the U.S.A. and Mexico.

Beyond the club and festival circuit, Danny has also DJed at parties for major brands such as Native Instruments, Interview Magazine, Delivery Hero, Zenmate, Shazam, The Collective (at the Berlin Tech Open Air), as well as Pathe Films.
