6 Million Dollar Dan is Dan Paluska. In his previous lives he was a comfortable midwestern youth, a slacking student, a cyborg posterboy, and a soldier of the future. We have the technology. We can rebuild him.
The Six Million Dollar Dan makes dance music. He is inspired by music as diverse as Lightning Bolt, Mouse on Mars, and Cyndi Lauper. He also has a band(ELECTRIC LASER PEOPLE, ELECTRIC LASER PEOPLE-allmusic) and likes to jump. He collaborates with many. If you're nice to him and the timing is right, he'll make you a song for your birthday.
He has hosted a number of radio shows, lots of one-off events, and some weeklies. He also is active in the local electronic arts scene co-curating the Collision event series. He sometimes makes art that falls somewhere under the broad 'new media' category. Recently, some of his work was featured as the cover art of new album from The Juan Maclean on DFA records.
His day job is building robots.
