"In just over two years on the decks, 25 year-old Daniel Mnookin (pronounced "Muh-new-kin") has gone from being just another kid learning to match beats, to one of The United States' hottest rising DJ's.
Daniel's music experience began well over a decade ago, teaching himself guitar and going on to play in a variety of alternative rock bands throughout high school and part of college. It wasn't until 1999 that he would develop an appreciation and love for all forms of electronic music.

"While I bought various electronic oriented albums throughout junior high and high school," Daniel notes, "it wasn't until my junior year of college, where I studied abroad and then lived in London - that I really began to listen to DJ’s - to really appreciate what they were doing."

Upon returning to school at The University of Wisconsin-Madison, Daniel immediately began fidgeting with various electronic equipment ranging from drum machine's and sequencer’s to sampler's and synthesizer's. He then came up with the alias 'the ith residual' and started playing out as a Live P.A. act.
"Playing live was always fun, but I found it hard to get booked in big cities as no one had the room or the willingness to accommodate an up and coming live act," says Daniel, "so I eventually decided it was time to go out and purchase a pair of decks and a mixer."
Since catching the DJ bug, Daniel has gone on to play around Chicago on a regular basis. He has also played outside of his hometown in cities as remote as Columbia, Missouri, to the glitz and glamour of Miami, Florida – not too mention his international debut in Mexico this past fall as well as spinning in Aruba on New Year’s Eve. He will be making his debut in Europe this spring, with gigs already confirmed in Frankfurt, Germany and Paris, France. 2003 found Daniel netting nearly 50 non-residency gigs, as well as playing alongside such top notch DJ’s as Danny Howells, Nick Warren, DJ Garth, Mazi, and Green Velvet (just to name a few)…
Daniel is also among an elite group of DJ’s doing a show for the rapidly growing internet-based Proton Radio (www.protonradio.com). His monthly show, entitled "Tic Tech Toe", runs from 4-6pm EST on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. It features mixes by both Daniel as well as an A-list of guest DJ’s, past guests including Arc Resident Dennis Rodgers, Bedrock's Gregory Shiff, and Big Chief’s Marky Star.
Outside of DJing, Daniel keeps busy writing for various publications ranging from UR Chicago (www.urchicago.com) and Gravity Magazine (http://gravity.colum.edu) to Resident Advisor in Australia (www.residentadvisor.net)." (Courtesy of Proton Radio)
