Daniel Stein (born April 11th, 1977), better known by his stage name of DJ Fresh, is an English electronic music producer and DJ.
Fresh made his name in the electronic genre primarily through his work in the drum and bass subsection of the genre, initially as one of the most prominent members of the supergroup Bad Comapny - he was joined by Darren 'dBridge' White, Jason Maldini and Michael ‘Vegas’ Wojcicki. Between them, the members of Bad Company started up their own label, BC Recordings, which would go on to become one of the most influential imprints of all time in the drum and bass community.
It’s a community that’s in no real doubt about the influence of both Bad Company and Fresh himself – revered magazine The Knowledge ranked the Bad Company track ‘The Nine’ as the greatest R&B cut of all time. Fresh was just 21 when that song dropped in 1998, and it was a few years before Fresh broke away from the group dynamic firmly enough to launch a solo career – his first album, ‘Escape from Planet Monday’, was released in 2006.
Despite being D&B royalty, though, it would be another few years before Fresh genuinely tasted mainstream success, when the first single from album number two ‘Nextlevelism’, ‘Louder’, became the first ever dubstep track to top the UK charts. He followed that up with a second number one, his collaboration with Rita Ora, ‘Hot Right Now’.
