D Mob (or D-Mob), also known as Dancin' Danny D or simply Danny D (born May 26, 1963),[1] is a British music producer and remixer.[2][3] His most notable tracks were "We Call It Acieed" (1988), which helped popularize acid house music during the Second Summer of Love, and "C'mon and Get My Love" (1990) with Cathy Dennis, which reached number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[4]

Biography

The 1988 hit single "We Call It Acieed" reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart,[3] and was one of a wave of acid house singles to enjoy success that year during the Second Summer of Love. The video was directed by Marek Budzynski. D Mob went on to have a further three top twenty singles in the UK during 1989 and 1990; "It Is Time to Get Funky", which reached No. 9, "C'mon and Get My Love", which reached No. 15, and "Put Your Hands Together", which reached No. 7.[5]

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, D Mob charted five songs on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, four of which went to No. 1, including "We Call It Acieed", "It Is Time to Get Funky", "C'mon and Get My Love" (with Cathy Dennis),[6] and "That's the Way of the World" (also with Dennis).[3] In the U.S., they are best known for the hit "C'mon and Get My Love" featuring Dennis as vocalist, that crossed over to pop radio and hit No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990.

Aside from Dennis, Dancin' Danny D has collaborated with vocalists Dannii Minogue, Gary Haisman and LRS.[3]

Danny D, together with Tim Blacksmith, founded the publishing company Stellar Songs, as well as Tim & Danny Music, a company which has worked with Charli XCX, Emeli Sande and Labyrinth in the past. The duo are known for managing the Norwegian production team Stargate, as well as being the executive producers for hits produced by them.[7]

In 2022, Danny D and Tim Blacksmith were both made MBEs in the Queen's Jubilee Birthday Honours List for their services to music.[8]
