Horace Dan D. (Skills rec., MDR Booking, Cluj-Napoca)
RO //
Horace a luat primul contact cu muzica electronica in Germania in 1990 cand a avut ocazia sa asculte piese si nonstopmixuri la posturile regionale sau nationale de radio si televiziune. Putin mai tarziu l-au fermecat emisiunile realizate de Simone la MTV Europe unde clipurile realizate de Prodigy, SL 2 sau Dr. Drevious l-au castigat definitiv in tabara muzicii electronice.
In 1993 a infiintat o formatie de muzica electronica (4 Me Double) impreuna cu 2 prieteni si tot atunci si-a inceput activitatea ca dj amator la private party-uri. Vara anului 1995 a fost cea a debutului sau radio, cu prima emisiune de muzica electronica din Transilvania si a 2-a din tara. In decembrie 1995 a tinut primul party din Transilvania specializat pe muzica electronica, intitulat "Rave Time".
De atunci au trecut peste 13 ani in care a mixat la cluburi si la festivaluri din aproape toate orasele importante din Romania. De Horace Dan D si organizatia CRS se leaga si succesele unor festivaluri sau evenimente nationale sau regionale precum Delahoya, Transilvanian Summit sau DJ's Gathering unde si-a adus contributia ca dj si ca organizator.
Ceea ce-l evidentiaza fata de dj-ii din generatia sa, sunt participarile numeroase la evenimente din afara granitelor tarii. Horace a fost primul dj roman care a intreprins un turneu in afara granitelor tarii: iunie 2003 in Germania si august 2003 in Polonia. De atunci este invitat regulat de cluburi sau la evenimente din Germania, Polonia, Ungaria, Elvetia, Austria, Serbia, Spania, Franta, Cehia, etc.
Dintre evenimentele la care a participat ca dj guest se remarca de departe Street Parade 2004 (Zurich - 1 milion participanti), Mayday Budapest 2005 (12.000 participanti) si Street Parade 2006 (700.000 participanti), evenimente la care a fost apreciat de publicul prezent si remarcat de dj-ii cu nume care mixau pe aceeasi scena.
Succesul pe care-l are Horace in Polonia este comparabil cu cel care l-au avut dj-ii maghiari la noi acum cativa ani. Pana in prezent a mixat la 16 evenimente, la 11 dintre ele fiind cap de afis. Datorita faptului ca se bucura de mare apreciere in randul publicului polonez, site-ul techno.pl i-a dedicat chiar si o pagina ce contine biografia sa in limba poloneza.
In ceea ce inseamna aparitii radio si tv in strainatate, Horace Dan D. a mixat live la emisiunea Pitch Control realizata de Chris Liebing si Pauli Steinbach, la Radio RMI Poznan (Polonia), Masik Radio (Ungaria), a aparut la Viva Polonia, etc.
De asemenea a compus si cateva piese, unele fiind lansate la Roton sau Skills Records, altele fiind difuzate in strainatate la posturi de radio (Belfast Irlanda de Nord), altele sunt in asteptare spre a fi lansate in tara sau peste hotare.
A mixat alaturi de The Advent, Chris Liebing, UMEK, Pascal FEOS, Dave Angel, Valentino Kanzyani, Octave One, Trevor Rockliffe, Tom Novy, Toni Rios, Redhead, Chris Liberator, Felix Kröcher, Samuel L. Session, Markantonio, Marco Lenzi, Tim Taylor, Marko Nastic, Lucca, Danillo Vigoritto, Alex Bau, Sven Dedek, Felipe, Tonio, Pero Fulhouse, Pet Duo, Pauli Steinbach, Basic Implant, D. Diggler, Freestylers & Jay Cunning, DJ Vini, Marcus James, Diana D'Rouz, My-T-Mike, Jay Base, Titanium live, Norman Austin, Sylvie, Kuhl, Oliver Hunteman, Funkmasters, si multi, multi altii.
Horace Dan D. mixeaza doar pe turn-tables (chiar si pe 3), performance care si-l imbunatateste cu un Cycloops si un Air FX. Ii place foarte mult muzica care are ritm, care te face sa te misti, prestatia sa fiind una dinamica. Stilurile abordate in prezent sunt: techno, electro, minimal-techno uneori presarate cu influente acid.

Horace had his first contact with electronic music in Germany in 1990 as he had the opportunity to listen tracks and non-stop mixes at the regional, national radio and TV stations. A little bit later, he was charmed by the TV shows produced by Simone on MTV Europe where the Prodigy, SL 2 or Dr. Drevious video-versions of the tracks have brought him for ever on the electronic music side.
In 1993 with the help of 2 friends, he put together an electronic music band called 4 Me Double; he also started his activity as a nonprofessional DJ at private parties. His radio debut was in the summer of 1995 as he produced the first electronic music show in Transylvania and the second in Romania. In December 1995 he organized the first electronic music party in Transylvania, called Rave Time.
Since then, there are over 13 years of playing in clubs and at festivals in almost every major city in Romania. The success of some national and regional festivals like Delahoya, Transylvanian Summit and DJs Gathering is due to Horace Dan D contribution as DJ and promoter and to the CRS organization.
The difference between him and other Romanian DJs from his generation are the enormous amount of bookings that he had and still has in clubs and at events outside Romania. Horace was the first Romanian DJ that had a tour outside Romania: June 2003 in Germany and August 2003 in Poland. Since then, he has often been invited to play in clubs and at events in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Rep., Spain, Serbia, France, etc.
Among the events where he played as Guest DJ, the most important are the Street Parade 2004 (Zürich 1 million people), Mayday Budapest 2005 (12.000 people) and Street Parade 2006 (Zürich 700.000 people), events where he was appreciated by the crowd as well by notorious DJs that shared the same stage.
Poland is for Horace the second country where he played a lot and where he gathered success. Until now, he performed at 16 events, being one of the main guests at 11 of them.
In regards to his radio and TV appearance outside Romania, Horace Dan D. played at the radio-show Pitch Control produced by Chris Liebing and Pauli Steinbach (HR3-XXL). He was also invited at Radio RMI Poznan (Poland) and Masik Radio (Hungary).
He also produced tracks that were released on the Romanian labels like Roton Music or Skills Records, on the Swedish label Dubok Sound, on Austrian labels like Petrol Dollar, on polish labels like Dirty Stuff and other trax are waiting to be released at different labels around the world.
He played with The Advent, Chris Liebing, UMEK, Pascal FEOS, Dave Angel, Valentino Kanzyani, Octave One, Trevor Rockliffe, Tom Novy, Toni Rios, Redhead, Chris Liberator, Felix Kröcher, Samuel L. Session, Markantonio, Marco Lenzi, Tim Taylor, Marko Nastic, Lucca, Danillo Vigoritto, Alex Bau, Sven Dedek, Felipe, Tonio, Pero Fulhouse, Pet Duo, Pauli Steinbach, Basic Implant, D. Diggler, Freestylers & Jay Cunning, DJ Vini, Marcus James, Diana D'Rouz, My-T-Mike, Jay Base, Titanium live, Norman Austin, Kuhl, Oliver Hunteman, Funkmasters, and many, many more.
Horace Dan D. is playing only on turntables (even 3), performance that is being improved with a Cycloops and an Air FX. He loves the music that has rhythm and makes you move. His performance is very dynamic. The music-styles he loves to play are techno (almost every type of techno) and electro, sometimes spiced with a little beat of acid.
