1981-Life in the music industry started at the young age of 14 when Dana Brown (AKA Danny B.) was given his first instrument, a guitar. He quickly mastered the guitar and became bored. Needing something that would allow him to create his own sound and realizing his determination and potential, Danas father brought home a keyboard. He would not pursue a career in music until his studies were complete.
1989-Dana recorded and released his first professional production, Be With You Tonight by Power Patrol. It was an instant hit on local radio and continues to be a Miami favorite today.
1990-Joining forces with Tolga and Linear, they produced several Linear tracks including Sending All My Love and Dont You Come Cryin.
1991-Dana teamed up with Lazaro Mendez, now known as DJ Laz and recorded Lazaros first single called Mami El Negro. It was a national hit. From there, he went on to record a plethora of songs with Laz, which eventually completed his first and second albums.
1993-Continuing work with Lazaro, he and Dana remixed the Luke Cambell classic I Wanna Rock and Niasias Whos Got Your Love.
1994-Introduced to Stevie B. and after building a strong rapport with him, Dana joined him on an international tour. Upon his return in the summer of 94, they recorded a track called You. During that year, Dana also collaborated with Danny D and DJ Wiz in the creation of their second album. He also produced an album for Nadine Renee, the vocalists known for the Planet Soul hit Set You Free.
As much as Dana enjoyed rap & R&B projects, his true love was techno music. His heart was set on creating techno but this time, he was going to be the artist. He always wanted to do a solo project but was too occupied with joint projects. Also, there was no market for techno music at the time. In DJ Lazs Red Alert, his techno style can be heard.
1995-As offers were coming in for joint projects, Dana turned them down to concentrate on creating a label called Planet X Records. The labels first single was X-Tacy by System II which included Cesar Colon and Dana. System II released an album, which achieved local success but Dana wanted recognition outside of Miami.
1996-Dana was introduced to a small local promoter, Steve Koch, who was about to throw his first underground event. He was just the partner Dana needed. Steves hunger, drive and belief in Danas music and Danas talent and belief in Steves ability as a strong promoter would prove the prosperous combination. They formed a new label, Inner Vision Music.
1997/Present-Inner Vision Musics first group was called Spacemen. A group with no product releases and known only for stage performances and word of mouth advertisements, Spacemen were in outrageous demand by their fans. They mesmerized convention center-sized crowds and held strong potential for becoming one of Floridas finest in intelligent breaks, electro and jungle. Spacemen has been from Seattle to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Each show was packed with as many as 3000 people in clubs and 21,000 at festivals such as Zen, Cyberfest, Futurefest , Ultra and Movement. They have also played on the same bill with international talent, Crystal Method, Moby, BT, Robert Miles, Keoki, Josh Wink, Cosmic Baby, Uberzone, The hardkiss Brothers, Meatbeat Manifesto, Underworld, Rabbit In The Moon, DJ Icey, Aphoridte, Cypress Hill, Method Man, Grand Master Flash, Run DMC, KRS 1 Afrika Bambata, The Jungle Brothers and many, many more. After a short few years in the techno market or Electronica Market, a national booking agency known as Chaotica was in amazement. They believed Spacemen was the KISS of the new millennium. Chaotica quickly scooped up Spacemen and sent them on a national tour. Some of Chatoicas other clients are: The Chemical Brothers, Paul Oakenfold and Juno Reactor.
1997/Present-By popular demand, Dana started to DJ again and quickly became a local favorite. His style ranged from intelligent breaks to dark drum & bass that stirred the crowd into frenzy every time he played. Dana decided to go with the stage name Subliminal. Partly in thanks to his partner, Steve, he toured the across the county opening up for Spacemen and Trip Theory.
1999/Present-The group Trip Theory went through some member changes and Dana was added to their lineup. To date, several songs from Trip Theorys Trip On X and Something For Your Mind CDs have been repeatedly featured on MTVs Real World, Road Rules, Real World-Road Rules Challenge, The Making Of (including Britney Spears, Puff Daddy, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink 182, Christina Aguilera), Behind The Winning Video, Loveline, Undressed and The Cut.
