Danish -> Denmark -> DK

Also he is Danish, and some sort of hot shot trance music producer so -> bestseller?

I'd never heard of him, but his wikipedia page says amateur snooker player. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Kandi

Daniel Kandi is one of Denmark's leading amateurs. He hit a 147 a few years back and has entered Q school a few times without much success. Not the correct answer to this though, as you will have seen in my reply to LDS

Not sure about the UK, but Jack & Jones outlets are everywhere here. Good mid-price men's clothing.

Some excellent guesses but none right so far and nobody is at all close, so I can't guide you with suggestions about who's closest, all equally far from the answer.
