Dane Aaron Rumble (born 9 February 1982) is a New Zealand recording artist. He is a former member of New Zealand hip hop group, Fast Crew. Dane Rumble has a particularly large fan base in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, where the term 'rumbling' is used to describe listening to his music.
Rumble was born in Auckland and received his education at St Peter's College, Auckland.
Rumble started out in 1999 as the co-founder, writer and co-producer of New Zealand Hip-Hop act Fast Crew. Their debut single "I Got" peaked at number 4 in the RIANZ New Zealand Singles Chart, and their debut album Set the Record Straight peaked number 11 on the Album Chart. The album produced another 2 top ten singles, "It's the Incredible" and "Suburbia Streets". In 2008 they released their second album Truth, Lies & Red Tape.

The single was later certified gold status for selling over 7,500 copies digitally. A second single, "Don't Know What to Do", was released in July, and after a nationwide radio tour, funded by New Zealand On Air, the single reached number 10 on the chart, becoming his first top 10 single as a solo artist.
A third single titled "Cruel" was released in November, and debuted at number 17 on the New Zealand singles chart. The track has since then climbed to number 3, making the track his third consecutive top 20 single, and on top of that, Cruel was certified platinum with sales over 15,000.
