Artist Detailed Info: Dnell

DNell are producer Dan Jones and singer Ellie Hajee. After meeting in 2000 in a studio, the pair have lived and worked together in west London, cramming a studio into the bedroom of their apartment and a music career into their relationship. Although producing music in bedrooms is nowadays not uncommon, DNell have produced a big sound reminiscent of 70s soul with 90s Hip Hop attitude. Usually bedroom projects produce more solitary music such as house or techno, from Dan and Ellies room come live horn sections, big vocals and old school production techniques. DNells first single This Thing received lots of attention from Djs and listeners worldwide. A further release on Furioustyles, and they were approached by BBE with the offer of making an Album. The 1st single from their new label home 20-20/Ive Read About gained support form BBC Radio 1s Trevor Nelson and Annie Mac, as well as strong recognition UK wide as well as The USA (1st Magic groove featured as the theme music to B.E.T's The soul Sessions) , Japan, Europe and Australia. Ist Magic focuses DNells interest in fusing rough with smooth. By combining Dans grainy production, hip hop beats and obsession with obscure equipment and records with Ellies distinct soulful vocal and biographical lyrics, DNell have bought us an insight into life in that bedroom whether its making beats or making love.....
