blast

WAX ON records has more of that honest music for you…

this time around, mr. daniel ward aka NEGGHEAD from leeds/UK comes correct with the truly slamming “blast” and the soulful headnodder “gettin so”... quite a decent pre cursor to his album “scrambled negg”.

Dan Ward's musical adventure began at a very early age. Born in the cultural oasis of Coventry his parents exposed Dan to an eclectic variety of music styles from the off. His mums love of reggae and soul music combined with his dads extensive record library exposed Dan to just about every type of music you could think of.

Dans first foray into the world of DJing came at the tender age of 17 when he started to DJ at a local club near where he was living in Essex. After playing at various bars and parties throughout the city he secured a dream job for any young music lover at legendary Leeds record shop Playmusic. This provided a great platform and gave Dan with the oppourtunity to play alongside a lot of the DJs he looked up to - such as Kenny Dope, Yousef, The Unabombers amongst many others.

In late 2004 Dan was invited to become a resident at thenew starting of Mint club in Leeds called Asylum. Performing regularily alongside DJs such as Jazzy Jeff, Theo Parrish and Gilles Peterson still proves to be an invaluable experience.

After being a fan of Nightmares On Wax for many years, Dan hooked up with Nightmares main man DJ E.A.S.E. in 2005 when he was offered the chance to remix a tune for E.A.S.E.'s new label WAX ON Records. Things went well and Dan was asked to produce an album for WAX ON. Since 2006 Dan has also been touring round Europe DJing with Nightmares On Wax and the WAX ON Records night "Wax Da Jam"... spent the summer of 08 behind the decks at Ibizas famous Cafe Mambo… and has also graced the WAX ON Ibiza party craze "Wax Da Beach" in 07, 08, 09 and 2010.

“With prestigeous remix work for the likes of Nightmares On Wax (and other artists / projects in the pipeline), it looks like the man who calls himself NEGGHEAD is now having himself a blast!
