Flytronix

Danny "Flytronix" Demierre was born in 1970. He moved from Lambeth, South London, to Birmingham before settling in Beccles, Suffolk at the age of 6.

It was at school in Beccles where Danny met Alex Banks and Jay Hurren from the 'E-Z Rollers'. Danny used to MC for Jay whilst he established himself as DJ JMJ (of 'JMJ & Richie').

In 1990 Danny invested in some keyboards and samplers and pooled resources with Alex. Together, as 'Hyper-on Experience', they performed at raves and started to build their reputation. Hyper-on Experience were a break beat hardcore duo that released a series of tracks on Moving Shadow in the early 90’s, including the rave anthem ‘Lords of the Null Lines’. Danny started to work on solo projects under various monikers: 'Flytronix' for Moving Shadow and Whitehouse records, 'Outcast' for Basement and 'Heard' for Stronghold. His 'Flytronix' debut on Moving Shadow was 'Ricochet.’

For the next project Danny collaborated with JMJ to make JMJ & Flytronix 'In Too Deep'. This was followed by the memorable solo offering 'The Rhodes Tune' which entered the CIN Dance Singles chart at No.5. Originally written for Fabio as a tribute to the legendary Speed club nights, it was described by the great DJ as 'simply a classic...with probably the best Jazz keyboard line ever used in Drum & Bass.'

Danny made his debut album ‘Archive’ with Moving Shadow over two years; the hard work was rewarded as it reached No.9 in the CIN Dance Album Chart. The album sold tens of thousands of copies and is still selling through as a milestone record. Collaborations between Far Out Recordings and Danny started in 1996 when he remixed two tracks by Azymuth which have since become cult drum n’ bass classics. Due to his passion for Far Out Recordings Danny decided to record an album for the label creating ‘Cohesion’ released in October 2002. He has also released two 12” singles on the now discontinued sister label to Far Out Recordings, Solaria; they were both the biggest selling releases on the label.

As a prelude to the album ‘Archive’ Danny’s latest release was 'Contemporary Acoustic Jam,' with two remixes by Andy C and Shimon which both rocked whilst simultaneously gaining excellent reviews. Outside commissions are myriad, including Courtney Pine's version of the classic Jazz torch song 'Don't Explain' (A-listed on Kiss FM) and Abstract Truth's 'Get another Plan', both for Gilles Peterson's Talkin' Loud label. Danny also engineered and co-produced, for Foul Play, their debut album 'Suspected' as well as remixes of Cloud 9 and Omni Trio.
