Artist History Project: Data Control is a digitally-based multimedia experience conceived in 1998 by Dan Schell. Originally created as solely an internet literary project, P:DC expanded into audio in 1999 with the release of deconstructed sound collage in the form of a mp3.com release, which gave P:DC enough encouragement to release the full-length Attention-Deficit Democracy the following year. Copies of this release were limited though copies went all over the world, garnering airplay in exotic places such as the Netherlands, Australia and New Jersey. Also in 2000, P:DC contributed to the Droplift Project, a culture-jamming soundtrack that has found ears in many places around the globe, including legendary music critic Dave Marsh. P:DC lives and breathes but is not tangible. It is a small portion of the digital soul, creativity and emotion released in word and sound. Throughout the project's existance, the artist(s) strive to retain a sense of dignity while experiencing the stage that is life.

Press Reviews Listen.com - "Trip-Hop beats underscore a bevy of fairly chilling and haunting Experimental meanderings. Low and ominous tones develop slowly for maximum Ambient effect, while vocal samples satirize the war on drugs and the violence on New York City's streets. Upbeat numbers even poke their heads out of this murky musical morass. Subtly subversive."
