DNA (duo)
DNA was the name taken by English electronic music producers Nick Batt and Neal Slateford, best known for releasing a remix of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" in 1990.
As well as "Tom's Diner", the duo remixed two other Suzanne Vega tracks: "Rusted Pipe" in 1991, and a radio mix of "Rosemary" in 2000. After a brief lull, the duo reappeared with a mix of the Loreena McKennitt track "The Mummers' Dance", which reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart in 1997.
Batt worked extensively with Goldfrapp on their albums Felt Mountain, Black [Cherry (Goldfrapp album)|Black Cherry] and Supernature, receiving an Ivor Novello Award for co-writing the Black Cherry track "Strict Machine".
