Daniel Mancini (born 7 December 1974) AKA Dan Mancini 500 is a New Zealand–born Los Angeles–based music and culture director, audio producer and internationally touring DJ who has played extensive residencies in Los Angeles clubs: The Bar (at Chateau Marmont Hotel), Palihouse and the Avalon. His DJ career has resulted in playing venues from the Playboy Mansion and Los Angeles Country Club in LA, to Brixton Academy and Manchester Arena in the United Kingdom.
He defines his DJ and musical stylings as a direct influence of his 1990s New Zealand based free noise band Mancini 500 into a cinematic collage of sonic tonal soundscapes and sampled genres. He was a forerunner of the mashup bootleg DJ scene in Los Angeles with his 2003 remix blend of Panjabi MC's track "Mundian To Bach Ke" with The Velvet Underground and Nico's 1966 song "All Tomorrow's Parties".
In 2003, he co-founded and DJed a Hollywood night club residency known as Columbia Room 116 with Tim Burgess of the Manchester based band The Charlatans. That same year he co-formed the Los Angeles DJ collective Soundgasm whose other founding members included Anton Newcombe of the band, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Jason Anchondo of the rock band, The Warlocks. In 2004 he released a collaborative DJ album with Johnny Tragedy on the Los Angeles label Cleopatra Records titled These Blues Don't Belong To Me featuring original remixes of artists ranging from Krs-One and Felix da Housecat to Pere Ubu and The Velvet Underground. In 2005 he released in association with Bigtime UK and Paris art Gallery Lafayette his second DJ record, a French promotional only release entitled Rock Chic.
