DJ, producer, radio show host and promoter, record distributor, club owner and well known for memorable DJ set's in after hours partys : J. Daniel aka Joao Daniel has been many things during his long and successful electronic music career. But it is his first true love - DJing and producing electronic music - that has kept him rooted to the scene since he began mixing records in 1983. It is also the main reason for the relaunch of his beloved Question of Time imprint in 2012.
A linchpin of Portugal's dance music scene, J. Daniel helped lay the foundation for much of the country's electronic music landscape - organizing the first parties in the country in the early 1990s, then moving on to open Portugal's first ever afterhours club, Climacz, as well as the country's first dedicated electronic music record store.
Now based in London he has resumed DJ and production in full swing.
