Publications
Burton was in 2004 known as the creator of the mashup album The Grey Album, where he mingled music of Jay -Z with The Beatles. Although the album was not intended for official release and was only disseminated under the hand as CD -R and as a download from Burton's website, it elicited greater attention and was favorably reviewed.
Already in 2003, Burton had published together with rapper Jemini Ghetto Pop Life album. In December 2004, his participation was announced as a producer on the album Demon Days Gorillaz, released in May 2005. He also produced another project of Damon Albarn: The Good, the Bad and the Queen. In addition, he published in October 2005 with MF Doom under the name DangerDoom album The Mouse & The Mask.
The singer Cee- Lo Green as Gnarls Barkley, he published on 19 May 2006 a new album called St. Elsewhere. In the UK, made the song Crazy by Gnarls Barkley stir since he reached the top of the charts even though he could only be downloaded from the Internet.
Renewed Danger Mouse made headlines in 2009 with his album Dark Night of the Soul, which he legal reasons with a blank CD -R and the call to procure the album itself on the Internet, sold.
Burton's stage name comes from the British cartoon series Danger Mouse.
