A representative of DJ Dan confirmed that the EDM producer has passed away, but a cause of death was not revealed.
DJ Dan, whose real name was Daniel Wherret, was around 57 and left behind a legacy in the electronic music scene.
He was a key figure in the West Coast house music scene since the late 1980s rave scene and released albums like Beats 4 Freaks (1998), Funk the System (1999), and Future Retro (2010).
DJ Dan grew up in Olympia, Washington, and moved to Seattle, where he first came across Electronic Dance Music, an influence that shaped his career.
He founded InStereo Recordings, which headlined global festivals like EDC and Ultra, and produced remixes for artists such as Depeche Mode, New Order, Lady Gaga, and Janet Jackson.
