DJ Die (born Daniel Kausman, 1972 in Devon), is a British music producer and DJ. He was a founder of drum and bass label Full Cycle Recordings and a member of acts Reprazent (1997 Mercury Prize winners) and Breakbeat Era.
Kausman was born and spent his formative years in Devon, UK, before moving to Bristol in 1985 as a teenager. An early interest in house and hardcore lead to a musical partnership with friend Jody Wisternoff (who later formed Way Out West with Nick Warren). Recording together under the aliases of Tru Funk and Sub Love on Three Stripe Records, they created hardcore staples like 4am and made numerous DJing appearances at early Universe raves. The partnership, however, was a brief one
After a chance meeting with Roni Size at Bristol's Replay Records store in 1992 lead to their first collaboration in the form of Agility for V Recordings and Die's ongoing contributions to the Full Cycle Recordings catalogue.
Together with Roni, he originated the seminal Music Box which was to become the title track of the debut Full Cycle compilation in 1996. Emerging firstly as a core member of Reprazent and later in 1998, as one third of Breakbeat Era (a project spawned by the Music Box track of the same name), he soon found himself remixing for DJ's including DJ Shadow, Towa Tei and DJ Cam. His remix of Reprazent single Watching Windows was released in its own right by Talkin' Loud. He has his own label called "Clear Skyz".
