DAN CURTIN BIO:
Dan Curtin began his music career in 1992. His fascination with music was sparked ten years earlier when he discovered the burgeoning hip-hop movement. Hip-hop, along with new wave, electro, and other sonic innovations of the Eighties began to loom largely in his life, and it was only a matter of time before Curtin began experimenting with music creation himself. When he finally heard the futuristic sounds of house and techno, everything changed. Drawing influence from stargazing evenings with a telescope and late night drives through nearby Cleveland, Ohio; music production became Curtin's primary focus. Cleveland, a city not known as a hub for house music creation, was initially isolating. However, Curtin was able to observe the more prominent scenes of other cities without becoming part of or being identified with any one of them. He began designing a new sound in techno and house music.
Curtin's first few records were released on Detroit's now defunct 33 RPM Records and Belgium's Buzz Records. Shortly thereafter, he started his own label, Metamorphic Recordings. Dancers and listeners alike began to take notice of his innovative sound signature, and before long Dan Curtin found himself being hailed as a key player in techno and house music. With his profile on the rise, he eventually caught the attention of Peacefrog in the mid 90s. His releases under his own name and his Purveyors Of Fine Funk guises were welcomed with open arms by the worlds techno fraternity, many of which becoming key cuts in many a DJ's set for years following their release. Releasing three albums over a two year period 'Silicon Dawn, 'Web Of Life' and 'Art & Science', Dan Curtin has defined himself as one of the key players in the development of techno as we know it today.

ALL GOOD FUNK ALLIANCE BIO:
Hailing from across the Potomac in Alexandria, VA, The All Good Funk Alliance have released several singles since 1997, and they have slowly built a loyal following of people hungry for that organic break-beat funk sound. From running their own labels Funk Weapons and Super Hi-Fi, to remixing Kraak en Smack, Fort Knox Five, Ursula 1000, Woody Herman, etc. the boys have been around the block. Their sound has developed into many different styles from which they have released up-tempo b-boy jams and hip hop as All Good Funk Alliance, and house music as B-team. In 2004 they released “On the One”, a collection of past singles and new songs, on the defunct label Sunswept. In 2005 they self released “Social Comment” their second album which was a politically charged album of hip-hop and down-tempo, featuring the ideals and socially charged views from the mind of Swamburger and Alexandrah. Currently releasing an updated and official album with some new material sprinkled with past hits “Sling-shot Boogie” an album which will show that these boys can move forward with the mid-tempo sound they helped create. Also they are currently working on some projects for the U.K. based label Jalapeno, whom befriended the Alliance back when they were just getting their toes wet. Known to rock a mass of unreleased cuts, fresh beats sprinkled with house and funk, the boys rock clubs from Columbia to San Fran, and play frequently wherever the groove is needed. They have even opened up for the legendary James Brown! An All Good set is bound to make your body move.
