Dan started his musical journey as a professional bass player back in 1997, moving to Melbourne in 2000 to study jazz bass at the VCA. Bass playing took him many places around Australia and he has played with some notable musicians over this time. Electronic dance music was a calling that began in the early nineties for him, listening to hardcore, jungle and techno Deviant was ready to take on DJing as a full time passion.
