Andy Daniell

Andy Daniell is a house DJ, producer and promoter from Southend, UK. He begins making music as a teenager, learning about club culture through Radio 1 and his sister’s Prodigy tapes, and he also works in a record store while DJing in local clubs.

He makes his first track, Doin’ It, at 16. The track appears on Lee Burridge’s 24:7 Global Underground album. In 2003, he joins Defected Records’ artist roster and becomes the label’s youngest house resident DJ. By 18, he is performing at Ministry of Sound in London. He later serves as an Ibiza resident at El Divino, playing weekly through the summer to crowds of around 1,500 and appearing alongside Dimitri from Paris, Junior Jack & Kid Creme, Martin Solveig and Sandy Rivera.

Daniell lives in Bournemouth and sets up his own night, Myoozikk. He also holds residencies at Gatecrasher’s UK venues GC1 and Discotheque, and at Defected nights at Pacha in London and Ibiza. He travels internationally as a DJ and has mixed a number of CDs, including Defected’s Eivissa 04 summer sampler and a Most Rated compilation with Simon Dunmore.

As a producer, his second track, In the Groove, gains support from Dimitri from Paris, CJ Mackintosh and Joey Negro. He works with Sandy Rivera, remixing Just Won’t Do by Sandy Rivera and Robert Owens, and he co-produces Disco Shit with Timmy Vegas, a track signed to Rivera’s BlackWiz label. Mixmag names him one of its best Ibiza breakthrough DJs, and M8 includes him in its Tomorrow People selection.
