D Mob (or D-Mob) is one of the stage names used by British house music producer Dancin' Danny D (born Daniel Kojo Poku).^[1]

The 1988 UK hit "We Call It Acieed"^[2] hit #3 in the UK Singles Chart, and was one of a wave of acid house singles to enjoy success that year. D Mob went on to have a further three Top Twenty singles in the UK during 1989 and 1990.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s D Mob charted five songs on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, four of which went to #1. In the U.S. they are best known for the hit "C'mon and Get My Love,"^[3] a song featuring vocalist Cathy Dennis, that crossed over to pop radio and hit #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990.

Aside from Dennis, Danny D has collaborated with vocalists Gary Haisman and LRS.
