Who is Dan Prothero?

Dan Prothero is a San Francisco-based independent record producer, recording engineer, and record collector. He has been called "the true king of raw" by allmusic.com, for his emphasis on live performance, vintage analog recording techniques, and gritty drum tones.

He founded Fog City Records in 1996, and began recording a string of widely acclaimed debut records which served as a springboard for the careers of Galactic, Stanton Moore, Garage A Trois, Papa Mali, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, MOFRO, Etienne de Rocher, and Tim Bluhm.

As an independent producer, Prothero has also recorded follow-up records with artists including Galactic and Robert Walter, and remains the ongoing producer of choice for Florida soul band MOFRO. He has also produced drum records with legends Bernard Purdie and Headhunters drummer Mike Clark, and created "Bulldog Breaks", the highly acclaimed series of breakbeat records.
