Daniel Chavez a.k.a.- DANIEL MOONTRIBE, D.COMPLEX, AUTOMAT,

Daniel, born and raised in and around L.A., California, is a founding member of the legendary Moontribe Collective, which has been gathering every full moon since 93'. Daniel's life long journey for musical knowledge and 10 year DJ/club experience has lead him to perform all over the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Japan, Ireland, Germany, and Amsterdam.

His DJ style is tailored specifically to the occasion, he can work just about any crowd of people. He'll storm a rave with his signature set of Industrial Strength Nonstop Automatechno Beats or blend in the Deepest of House with his own Club Fusion and, believe it or not, he has also been known to throw down slammin' sets of Jungle Drum & Bass. Once he has a mission assigned there is no stopping the continuous sense of flow....

Founder and Chief of Automat Records, one of the hardest tekno labels on the West Coast, feels there is a time and place for all styles. He is not afraid to explore, develop and integrate new sounds. Always continuing to promote the knowledge and evolution of Music!!!!
