Goddamn.  Just learned that DJ Dan died at 57.  I did a 4 hour set downstairs at the legendary afterhours club Rise in Boston while he headlined in the main room upstairs in late 2012.  A few months later, I helped run a show where he played in early 2013.

This was the upstairs before DJ Dan started playing.  The number of people in it tripled by the end of the night.

 

I don't have many photos of the downstairs ...because I DJ'd for 4 hours, but this is one long exposure taken with me braced against a couch.

 

The 2013 show was amazing.  I saw a bunch of jaded drum n bass and dubstep fans realizing that house music was a lot of fun.    I only spoke to him briefly, because I had a job (or more to the point, like 20 jobs) to do.  He seemed like a very chill, down to earth guy, especially for someone as famous as he was.  57 is crazy young to pass.
