Cabaret

It's common practice for DJs to branch out into producing their own music, but far rarer are the people who go the opposite route. Honorary Detroit native Daniel Bell was already widely feted for his live techno sets – first as Cybersonik and later as DBX – before he began to show much interest in playing other people's records. These days, it's his DJing for which he's best known, although he dusted off the old gear in 2008 for a two-year string of DMX gigs that finished at Unit. Almost a year to the day later, Bell returns to the Daikanyama club for a special long set, with Cabaret resident DJ Masda in support. He'll also be playing at Freaks Music Festival '11 on May 7.
