DELAIN

Dan Laino (DeLAIN) experience as a life-long musician formed the framework for his evolution into the Producer and DJ we know today as DeLAIN. Under this identity, he blends the most savory elements of disco, funk, soul, breakbeat, hip-hop, and R&B to create distinctive productions and engaging live sets. DeLAIN has become a mainstay in Minneapolis because his wide-ranging tastes, vast experience, and never-ending energy empower him to shine in every lineup. Recently, DeLAIN has employed his musical sensibilities to warm up the stage for Will Clarke, Habstrakt, and Reid Speed, among others. To end 2019 with a bang, DeLAIN’s much anticipated “As You Want” will be released on December 30 under Chicago’s Phunk Junk Records. And with multiple tracks already slated for release in 2020, DeLAIN continues to build momentum for a huge impact on house music.

Born in Germany, Dan (DeLAIN) started playing percussion instruments at an early age. He moved to the United States with his family when he was 11 years old and soon started playing in marching band and mastering the drumset. In the late 80’s, Dan began curating his tastes by splicing mixtapes for friends and mixing records at parties. With skills and mounting experience, Dan was signed to Phadid Entertainment (Minneapolis), where he contributed to many artists and toured with the hip-hop/R&B groups
