Daniel T Heliotrope

Daniel Terndrup is a Los Angeles-based DJ and producer. A longtime record collector and
digger, Daniel has become a local authority on bygone music. He hosts regular radio shows
on Dublab (Crosseyed & Painless) and NTS (Heat-Wave) while also throwing a weekly party
for Heat-Wave in collaboration with Wyatt Potts at former Hollywood stripclub, Gold
Diggers. Daniel started making music a decade ago as one half of Cosmic Kids. Alongside
Ron Poznansky, he made a name for himself producing heady house and astral dance tunes,
and releasing records with cult labels Throne of Blood, Let’s Play House and DFA. In addition
to racking up plays on original cuts, the duo was regularly tapped to deliver remixes for
heavyweights like The Rapture, Holy Ghost!, Poolside and Superhumanoids.
After a handful of releases with Cosmic Kids, Daniel pivoted toward his own project as Daniel
T. His solo output is inspired by everything that you might find leafing through his record
collection: funk, post punk, new age and pop of yesteryear (think: Compass Point All Stars to
Yellow Magic Orchestra). The music he releases as Daniel T. is a reflection of his global taste,
but indelibly filtered through his Southern California surroundings
