Dr. Ushūu (formerly known as D.C.R), real name Daniel Cabral Rocas, is a bass music producer and Dj from Portugal.

Daniel was born in Lisbon and spent his early childhood in northern Portugal. There, his parents— both of whom were lighting technicians – enrolled their son in music classes, brought him on tour with them and sometimes invited him to join them onstage. Furthermore, Dany’s techno DJ uncle taught him the tricks of the sound system trade; overall, it’s clear that the youngster was entrenched in music from the very beginning.

When he was in 5th grade, the Roças family relocated to the Paris region. Despite the considerable Portuguese presence in that area, it was a difficult transition for young Dany, largely due to the language barrier and his lack of friends there. Music helped him to overcome both obstacles— through their mutual interest in 2010’s EDM artists such as Hardwell, Skrillex and Martin Garrix, Dany and his classmates found a positive platform for interaction.

It wasn’t too long before Dany decided it was time to produce some EDM music on his own. He started off, as many kids do, with GarageBand, Chrome Music Lab, and the like, and ultimately managed to land some formal studio recording sessions. Read more on Last.fm.
