72. Dan Curtin, DJ: Influencing Modern Techno, The Evolution of House, and Why There’s No Cleveland Sound

Conversation For Adults

Dan Curtin, DJ and creator of Metamorphic Recordings, is one of the key players in creating the sound of modern techno over the last three decades. Dan shares stories from Cleveland to Berlin, from breakdancing in his parents’ basement to spinning in European nightclubs, from choosing between buying cat food or human food to starting his own label. Curtin also gives us a rundown of what it takes to get started in the scene today: starting a label, blowing up your tracks, and making house and techno music that does’t suck.
