Wear Many Hats Episode 41 — Daniel De Lara— Asian Dan — Musician
Hey everyone it’s Rashad and this is Wear Many Hats presented by Dahsar where we talk about your main gig then we talk about your side hustle.
Daniel De Lara is a musician.
Dan has a bunch of the same guitar pedals I use such as the infamous Dimension-C pedal that we love and I’ve also told Louise Chen to get. If we had his pedal board honestly we would rip on the bass and guitar all day long.
Previously in the band Team Spirit, the French Electro Indie rock band, Jamaica. Scored in the film “The Queen of Hollywood Blvd” and scored in “The Five Rules of Success”.. lent a hand on Jacques Greene’s debut album “Feel Infinite” also lent a hand with Chromeo tracks.
Has a solid vintage tee collection, I only interview or have people on the podcast with solid vintage tee collections.
He doesn’t have a last name, we’re both Asian, I’m not Filipino.
Please Welcome Asian Dan.
Dan do you have a last name? Or is Asian Dan just on your Birth Certificate?
Your Jacques Greene “Feel Infinite” remix album cover was hilarious by the way.
I’ve probably obviously missed a lot of tracks and songs you’ve worked on but I guess off the top of your head, what other tracks have you worked on for other artists, films, etc.

Give us a run down of the Le Meme Blog.
Music
We both share a mutual love for James Iha, great guitarist.
I was listening to The Goodnight Radio mixes on Tukio and it’s great. Volume 8 is a workout for sure.
You B2B with Louise Chen at the Lot Radio which I was at yesterday. Would love to see some Goodnight DJ sets for sure.
Tour
Favorite tour memory? You were around for the Nicky Digital and Bloghaus days, you’ve seen Justice and Daft Punk, you’ve toured alongside some big acts.
Goodnight Music
Goodnight Music consists of you and your brother Darrell.
The Livestream you’re performing with a Fender Mustang. For Shipping.Media was so good.
So Goodnight Music logo is done by David Rudnick, phenomenal designer. I see we’re connected with Hassan Rahim, Phil Chang, are you also a designer?
“Versions” by Goodnight Music is phenomenal. “What Have You” so good.
Dude Heat (You’re Good) how did you make that sound. I would love to see you guys perform that song live.
I could play “Slow Climb” forever.
Jacques Greene
I loved your My Bloody Valentine cover of “Sometimes” a My Balearic Valentine Version. You had Jacques Greene on drum production and arrangement.
Do you work with Jacques Greene often?
Mark Seekings
Mark Seekings released his new collection of clothes called Seekings and you and Mark have a connection with Julian Casablancas, The Voidz. You also had a hand in this. What hand did you lend in the Seekings release?
Hats OFF
Hats off to you on all these things that you do, for some Wear Many Hats Dahsar solutions have you ever remixed music through Goodnight?
Ending
If you were to get a chest tattoo quote in olde english what would it be?
