Hello. My name is Daniel Barassi. In any given moment, I could be: archiving an audio or video tape (most professional and commercial formats) for a client, audio mastering, consulting, remixing, website repair (html/css/php/javascript/sql), writing an AppleScript, DJ'ing (club or radio), audio production for radio, music video directing...I do a lot of things. I am one of those guys in Los Angeles that you don't know my name, but I have most likely had hands on something you have listened to or watched. Guys like me get paid, but don't often get credit. "Welcome to Hollywood. What's your dream?" Moving on...
A quick "about me" (more in the F.A.Q.): I have a very cool "day" job: I work for the band Depeche Mode. Starting on September 2nd, 1998, I became the band's webmaster. For over 25 years, I have run (and sometimes designed) their website, as well as maintained all of their social media accounts. Since 2015, I earned the additional job title of "Archivist". which has put me in charge of the band's tape vault. I have worked on a number of the band's releases, including:
I have had a lot of "other jobs". Some of the current jobs include:
Past jobs have included:

My Mixes area has hours of remixes, edits and mashups of mine for you to listen to. I also have The Audio Vault, an area with rarities pulled from my music collection.
Get here from a web search? Maybe you have heard of me, but don't really know much about me? Maybe you read a about me somewhere, and are questioning the validity of the comments you read (as you ffffing should!). Find out the truth about me in my f.a.q. file.
If the f.a.q. didn't answer your questions, or you want to talk about something on the site, feel free to email me. Please be aware I am notorious for one sentence replies. Don't be offended. It's just the way I am. :)
PLEASE NOTE: While I do work for a number of "known" clients, I absolutely can not pass notes to them, forward emails to them, get you tickets to a show, ask a client to sing at your wedding, et cetera. There are proper channels you can use to contact people. Please use those. I can not help you, and will NOT reply to such requests. Thank you.
I am banned from YouTube. I have two strikes on Vimeo. "Social Media" sites are constantly copyright flagging my accounts. Because of all the drama on third party sites, I am now self-hosting all the videos you see on the site. Sorry for any speed issues, but self-hosting costs me A LOT of money. #FairUse #TransformativeWork
