HYPNTZ

Dan Black

unsigned

WE SAY

London-born, Paris-based, Dan Black's hugely fun cover of Notorious BIG's 'Hypnotize' is getting lots of attention, as the industry crowds at his recent London shows indicated. In just the last two weeks Zane Lowe and Jo Wiley have played this on R1, blogger Perez Hilton has featured it and now Zane is making HPNTZ his single of the week. A hit in waiting, a deal can't be far away - he has over an album's worth of material which is getting people excited. JF London gig: September 5, Mucha Marcha at Proud Galleries NW1/September 6, Push at Astoria 2 WC2. Video.
