Beginning his journey in the garage/grime scene and on TV as People Just Do Nothing’s fictional character Decoy, Danny Rankin has set pace in the UK as a multi-genre DJ. The People Just Do Nothing phenomenon began on YouTube before it gained a cult following and caught the attention of production company Roughcut. After being commissioned by the BBC for the first TV series in 2013, the group have gone on to win a BAFTA and tour the UK & Europe as the fictional garage group.

Now taking his own route in the music scene, the Rinse FM resident blends his love of dancehall and the UK rave scene with his roots in garage and drum and bass to create an eclectic sound for both his live sets and radio show. He considers playing Fabric’s iconic Room 1 and his two Boomtown stage performances as his career highlights.

Since playing headlines shows in an impressive number of major UK cities, Danny Rankin is set to have an exciting year ahead.
