DJ/Producer Dan the Automator
Wanna Buy a Monkey Review?

Nathaniel Merriweather aka Dan the Automator Nakamura.

Dan the Automator Nakamura a.k.a. Nathaniel Merriweather (Lovage - Handsome Boy Modeling School) is back with Wanna Buy a Monkey (a mixtape session) featuring Automator mixes of Fantomas, Black Rob (Smoothness), Deltron 3030 (Positive Contact); Air (Le Soleil Est Pres De Moi), Zero 7 (Destiny) and Tortoise (Seneca); also Doves (Firesuite 8), Lovage (Stroker Ace), Bobby Digital (Rhumba) and Gorillaz (Latin Simone). There's more: De La Soul (Bionix), Masta Ace, Jigmastas, X-ecutioners Song, and Dilated Peoples (Clockwork). All in all it's a very eclectic mix that only can come from the ethereal mind of Dan the Automator. Must've been the Lovage!

"I have certain tastes in music, explains Dan. "Not all hip-hop, not all rock, so this doesn't come off like the usual mixtape."
San Francisco DJ Producer Dan the Automator Nakamura.

It had to be the Lovage - who else would mix Tortoise with Bobby Digital, Air with Masta Ace and Doves with Black Rob (whose 1992 album was produced by Dan the Automator). "As a producer I get a lot more control over my product," Dan explain, "which is why it's nice to mix it up with stuff I didn't do." In some ways, Wanna Buy a Monkey is even more of a personal offering because of it. Here is a journey into the mind and likes of one of the most avant gardé DJs today.

"The whole thing about mixtapes is so serious,"explains Nakamura. "I didn't want to go there. This is a chance for people to look into my head."
