Rising Concern Dan Shake Has Achieved What No Other Has In Over A Decade: With His Debut Release In The Music World, He Has Become The Very First Producer Without A Detroit Heritage Or Residency To Land A Release On Moodymanns Prestigious Record Label Mahogani Music. Based In London, The Former Leeds Student Secured The Feat In A Charmingly Anachronistic Fashion: Having Just Watched Kenny Dixon Jr Perform Alongside The 3 Chairs At Dimensions Festival, Dan Simply Handed Over A Demo Cd With A Collection Of Unreleased Tracks. Moodymann Was Hooked Almost Instantantly, Taking The First Plunge On Welcoming An Outsider Into His Tight-knit Crew Of Detroit Strong Artists. Citing Influence From The Layered Percussive Rhythms Of Afrobeat Pioneers Such As Tony Allen And Fela Kuti, The Soul-drenched Sampling Of J Dilla And The Kind Of Dark, Dense Grooves Laid Out By Contemporary Producers Such As Flying Lotus And Motor City Drum Ensemble, Dans Situation In Winding Up On A Label Renowned For Encompassing All Those Traits Is Obviously A Blessing For The Young Producer.
