Who is Meat Beats?I'm Danny Taurus, a music producer, DJ and record label owner from the UK, now living in Los Angeles, California. I started making house music in the early 90s and co-founded Dansa Records with Mark Archer in 1993. Recently I started sampling old 90s synths to use in my productions. Seemed like a good idea to turn them into plugins that everyone can use.Can I request a plugin?Definitely! I always like to hear what kind of plugins and sample packs house producers want at their disposal. Give me a shout at dan@meatbeats.com with your ideas!
