Dan D

African Market EP Dan D

Welcome to Geno! We are a fresh, forward thinking musical cooperative. Our first release comes to you from Belgium based Dan D. Dan comes from a traditional of both classical and jazz traditions. Dan also developed a love of Latin dance in his youth. Once moving to Berlin in 2001, Dan was further influenced by the house sounds of the original Panorama Bar. Dan himself has continued on to dj some of Berlin's best parties/venues including Beatstreet, Watergate, Arena, Maria, and the new Panorama Bar. Club der Visionäre has also been very important to Dan's Musical growth. Dan has had the opportunity to cut his teeth playing 10 hour marathon sets during his regular appearances since 2004. Furthermore, he appeared in Clubs like Rote Sonne (Munich) and Decadance (Gent, Belgium). Friends like Tobi Neumann and Dinky got him into production in 2003. Dan's first vinyl release on District of Corruption lead to praise from some of the best dj's in the business. The African Market is quite an evolved sophomoric release for Dan. The title track, African Market, is a pulsating but stripped down organic percussive journey. Afro-Cuban rhythms lovingly exchange energy with warm analog synths and crisp techno electronic beats. The flip side, El Baile, is a slow burning house jam. El Baile features eerily reverberated studio recorded vuvuzela, crisply saturated jazz keys, and the same pumping Afro-Cuban rhythms that sets Dan's sound apart from others.
