A Prolific producer and well known dj, khotin DRIFTS freely between genre experiments, every move linked by distinct melodic and impressionistic sensibility. His dance-leaning output, marked by years of involvement in Vancouver's underground landscape, is both offset and informed by a deep interest in downtempo sound and the mood of stillness; the melancholy after the club.

Dane grew up in Edmonton where icy nights on the hockey rink led him to the dance floor at 15; by 32 he’d become a hometown hero behind the counter of the local record shop and resident DJ at The Common before moving to Berlin.
Summers in Vancouver and Victoria deepened his love for the West Coast, and with mentorship from disco legends Koosh & Eddie C he launched Common Edit—an edit label that quickly became Canada’s go-to for 7” and 12” dance-floor weapons.
Fueled by obsessive record digging and endless practice, his sets are joyous, sweat-soaked sermons of hair-flips, sing-alongs and soaring momentum that leave dancers elated.
Whether in a Berlin basement or a prairie loft, Dane carries one message: love, unity and the lust for music that lifts every floor he plays.
