Here is a lil bit of info on Dan Bell:

Dan Bell has been a top minimalist Detroit producer from his beginnings as a 
critical member of Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 Records to his recording of an 
all-time classic, 1994's "Losing Control" (as DBX) to the foundation of his 
own Seventh City and Accelerate labels. Born in Sacramento, he grew up near 
Detroit and was influenced by the sound of techno on Motor City radio during 
the 1980s. Bell began DJing, bought recording equipment, and entered the 
production world with a job at a recording studio while attending Niagara 
College near Toronto. Though the work was mostly for hip-hop groups, Bell 
often worked overtime and produced his own tracks.
He had a few productions of his own by 1991, when he moved back to Detroit 
and met Richie Hawtin. Bell joined Hawtin's new Plus 8 label, and produced 
several of the imprint's famed early singles ("Technarchy," "Cabaret 
Seven"), recording with Hawtin and John Acquaviva as Cybersonik. His 
back-to-basics approach to hard minimalistic techno fit in well with 
Hawtin's aesthetic. After leaving Plus 8 to form his own Accelerate Records 
in 1992, Bell began recording as DBX. Singles like "Blip," "Flying Saucer," 
and "Electric Shock" became hot with DJs from Chicago as well as Detroit. In 
1994, Peacefrog released two DBX EPs ("Alien," "Losing Control"). Though 
"Losing Control" became one of the biggest underground smashes of the 
decade, Bell's move into the distribution game (by rejuvenating Seventh City 
as a record distributor) took away valuable production time. Even while the 
venture soon became one of the main worldwide distributors for Detroit 
techno, it grew so successful that Bell was forced to put his recording 
career on hold. He was back on wax by 1996, recording for DS and Klang 
Electron as well as Accelerate. Unfortunately, Seventh City distribution 
folded and in 1998 Bell returned his concentration to production with the 
single "Subterranean/The Wild Life/Beserk." Two years later he followed with 
a mix CD, The Button Down Mind of Daniel Bell, released on Tresor Records.~
