the studio..

Dan runs his sessions from Brooklet Recording, a purpose-built studio nestled in the hinterland of Byron Bay, created by Bernard Fanning and Nick DiDia. Based out of the B Room, he runs his mix, production and overdub sessions there, while also utilising the larger live room next door for full band tracking when needed.

With his gear permanently set up and carefully curated into a dedicated working space, Dan’s sessions run seamlessly, with all the right tools within arm’s reach to move fluidly between writing, recording, and mixing.

producer / engineer / mixer / songwriter

Dan has been a key player in the Australian recording industry for over 15 years, becoming a familiar face in some of the most reputable studios across Sydney, Byron Bay, and Melbourne. He’s had the privilege of working on releases with a wide range of artists, including Boy George, King Princess, Tones & I, Gurrumul, Conan Gray, Noah Kahan, Delta Goodrem, Montaigne, Ruel, The Whitlams, Amy Shark, DMA’s, Joe Jonas, Guy Sebastian, Genesis Owusu, Bernard Fanning, and Peter Garrett. With 8 x ARIA wins on records he’s contributed to and over half a billion streams (and counting), Dan’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. (For a full list of projects, check out the discography section.)

Throughout his career, Dan has worked as an in-house Producer/Engineer at Forbes St. Studios (Universal Music’s studio), Sony Studios in Sydney, and Studios 301 in both Alexandria and Byron Bay. These experiences have introduced him to amazing people and exciting projects, including a fateful collaboration with Tones & I. What was meant to be just one day of work led to Dan engineering most of her debut album Welcome to the Madhouse, including the ARIA-winning ‘Song of the Year’ (2022) - ‘Cloudy Day.’ as well as the single, ‘The Greatest’ the anthem for the 2023 Matildas soccer team, which was recorded in a studio Dan was commissioned to build on her property.

Now, Dan runs his sessions from a studio space at Brooklet Recording, a facility purpose-built by Bernard Fanning & Nick DiDia, Currently setup in the B Room running all Mix/production/Overdub sessions at. He also uses the larger room at the studio for band tracking sessions. (Check out the link below for more details on the space.)

Dan’s approach to production is all about capturing the essence of live performance. He’s developed a unique tone over the years that brings an authentic energy to his work, balancing the electricity of live instruments with a fresh, open approach to production.

His ethos is simple: help artists tap into their unique sound and create music that truly resonates with them. As a multi-instrumentalist, Dan brings a lot to the table - whether it’s producing, working with analog synths, spacey guitars, or crafting unorthodox string arrangements. You can hear his creativity shine through in his solo ambient/neo-classical project, Mittere.
