Throughout his career, Dan has worked as an in-house Producer/Engineer at Forbes St. Studios (Universal Music’s studio), Sony Studios in Sydney, and Studios 301 in both Alexandria and Byron Bay. These experiences have introduced him to amazing people and exciting projects, including a fateful collaboration with Tones & I. What was meant to be just one day of work led to Dan engineering most of her debut album Welcome to the Madhouse, including the ARIA-winning ‘Song of the Year’ (2022), ‘Cloudy Day.’ He also worked on her recent single, ‘The Greatest’ the anthem for the 2023 Matildas soccer team, which was recorded in a studio Dan was commissioned to build on her property.
Now, Dan runs his sessions from a studio space at Brooklet Recording, a facility purpose-built by Bernard Fanning & Nick DiDia, Currently setup in the B Room running all Mix/production/Overdub sessions at. He also uses the larger room at the studio for band tracking sessions. (Check out the link below for more details on the space.)
Dan’s approach to production is all about capturing the essence of live performance. He’s developed a unique tone over the years that brings an authentic energy to his work, balancing the electricity of live instruments with a fresh, open approach to production.
His ethos is simple: help artists tap into their unique sound and create music that truly resonates with them. As a multi-instrumentalist, Dan brings a lot to the table—whether it’s producing, working with analog synths, spacey guitars, or crafting unorthodox string arrangements. You can hear his creativity shine through in his solo ambient/neo-classical project, Mittere.
