Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands in 1973. Music was and always will be
a center point in his life, already from young age he was playing his
mother's and father's records, mostly 60's music like Hendrix, Beatles,
Stones, Pink Floyd etc... Eventually he discovered electronic music
listening to an underground radio station in the late 80's, these where
the first hypnotic sounds of acid house and Detroit techno; with these
sounds in his head he went to look for them and found him self in the
underground dance scene of Amsterdam where he really got a good taste
of it, dancing & sweating the night away every weekend until late
in the next day.
From here (91/92) he decided to buy this music and thanks to a good
friend started mixing it. Not much later he was playing these hypnotic
sounds himself and made the people dance the night away. This grew and
it eventually leaded him to what we now know as the goa/psy trance scene!
, This was a new sound around and people from the traveling Goa scene
where of course happy to be in Amsterdam for its freedom feeling and
good underground party's. Thanks to people like dj Lucas (Metal Spark),
Jens (Juno Reactor, Cwith, Acid Lab) dj Zen and Danyel, this music became
the number one sound in Amsterdam. The party's where hot, sweaty and
great. Amsterdam was full in to the hypnotic sounds of this new style.
So around this time him & dj Zen started a club-night (Doors of
Perception) based in the Trance Buddha Club in the center of Amsterdam.
Together they rocked the Amsterdam dance floors to higher levels playing
everywhere in Holland and also around the planet. He eventually flew
to South Africa, Japan, Israel, Croatia, Pollen and most of Europe,
Costa Rica, Brazil, Bolivia and many more, to make the people dance
& fly to higher levels.
Since he had and still, Danyel is playing a lot and with many dj's/
artist's that al claim international fame. Also he has been involved
with several underground record labels (Adodisc/3rd Mind Records, Amsterdam)
and had his own for a short while (Uphonic Records) but stopped it and
decided to keep focused on the creative side of it.
