Есть 2 исполнителя с именем Data
1) Data - Nick Burne : Programmer, Engineer, Producer, Keys, DJ.
West London based producer 'Data' has been turning heads with his mature and different approach to modern day drum and bass production. Quickly rising through the ranks with a slew of signings, his tracks quickly found their way into many top dj's bags, including Goldie. Data's focus on ambience, groove, minimalism and experimentation provides a whole new take on current drum and bass.
A fan of technology, Data recalls experimenting with old Casio and Yamaha keyboards bought for him as a child. His dad's love of 70's rock lead to him following some bands around with a camcorder as a kid and that's when multimedia began to form in his mind. After being introduced to Drum and Bass through pirate radio stations and friend's mixtapes, Data was keen to the learn the art of mixing and began his exploration into the scene. Mixing lead to production and hooking up with his close friend, Nebulus. Making their first tunes on an Akai 3000 and an old Soundcraft desk (which Data still uses!), it was clear that he had a lot to learn and Data began to slowly piece together his equipment and skill. Playing on several pirate stations around London, Data eventually settled down into his weekend show on Life FM, run by Paul Roast. After playing his regular slot for many years, Data decided to lock himself away in the studio and really see how far he could take his production. Fast forward to 2008 and Data's signing to Metalheadz heralds the next chapter of his musical journey.
2)DatA - парижский музыкант David Bayer, родившийся 11 ноября 1985 года, один из основных представителей французского направления french-touch. Его стиль это католический электро-рок с мрачной атмосферой и чувственными аккордами.
Визитной карточкой стал его ремикс на Minuit Jacuzzi (от Temper), который прозвучал в миксе французов Justice на Radio One (в программе Essential Mix), 10 июня 2007 года. Так-же его трек "Morphosis" и ремикс на "I Wanna Be a Style Crusader" (от Big Face) попали в наикрутейшую, "престижную" компиляцию Kitsuné Maison.
Выпустил первый релиз в 2006 году под названием "Trop Laser", весной в 2007 "Aerius Light", летом 2008 "Rapture". В 2009 году он планирует выпустить дебютный альбом под названием "Skywriter".
3)DATA were an electronic music band created in the late 1970's by Georg Kajanus, creator of such bands as Eclection, Sailor and Noir (with Tim Dry of the robotic/music duo Tik and Tok). After the break-up of Sailor in the late Seventies, Kajanus decided to experiment with electronic music and formed DATA, together with vocalists Francesca ("Frankie") and Phillipa ("Phil") Boulter, daughters of British performer John Boulter.
The classically orientated title track of DATA’s first album, Opera Electronica, was used as the theme music to the short film, Towers of Babel (1981), which was directed by Jonathan Lewis and starred Anna Quayle and Ken Campbell. Towers of Babel was nominated for a BAFTA award in 1982 and won the Silver Hugo Award for Best Short Film at the Chicago International Film Festival of the same year.
DATA released two more albums, the experimental 2-Time (1983) and the Country & Western-inspired electronica album Elegant Machinery (1985). The title of the last album was the inspiration for the name of Swedish pop synth group , elegant MACHINERY, formally known as Pole Position.
In 1995, Accumulator was released, a compilation album containing the complete albums 2-Time and Elegant Machinery, and the track "Fallout" from Opera Electronica.
