Career

Wherrett grew up in Lacey near Olympia, Washington. He started collecting records as a child. He moved to Seattle from 1988-1990 to study fashion, where he began hearing electronic dance music at such area clubs as The Underground, where he heard Randy Schlager and Donald Glaude. It was during this time he started experimenting playing on his own.

In 1991, he moved to Los Angeles. After playing a few events with LA-based DJ Ron D Core (the two of them released a series of mixtapes together, including live mixes), he eventually made his way up to San Francisco in 1993 where he joined Funky Tekno Tribe. In 1996 he partnered up with Jim Hopkins and under the name "Electroliners" they released Loose Caboose. This track was picked up by DJs such as Carl Cox, Sasha, John Digweed, and Lee Burridge.[2]

In 2000, Cox took Dan under his wing and brought him on tour. Also that year, Dan's track "That Zipper Track" was released on 4 different labels worldwide. It went on to sell over 100,000 copies on vinyl. In 2001, he created his own label, InStereo Recordings.[3]

DJ Mag named DJ Dan the #1 House DJ in 2006. Urb Magazine named him "America's Favorite DJ" and "America's Hardest Working DJ". He is currently rated the #9 DJ in America according to the DJ Times America's Best DJ Poll[4][5]
