Open edition
Our new release has landed from the Netherlands, by Amsterdam-based producer and DJ, Dan1dang3r. Beginning their musical journey as a classical pianist, Dani crafted deeply emotional, nostalgic cinematic compositions before transitioning to guitar and vocals with a post-punk influence. Over time, they moved into electronic production, drawing from trance, eurodance, trap, UK bass and ambient.
A recent graduate of the Conservatory of Amsterdam, Dan1dang3r is now pushing the boundaries of post-club music, blending intricate sound design with a heartfelt, authentic approach to connecting through sound. This release carries a personal story, shaped by experiences of grief and loss, but transformed into something reflective and moving.
Personal note from Dani:
This song is an ode grief. I find grieving to be an integral part of (my) life and grief a lot about different things on a daily basis. The constant changes happening in life can be very daunting and hard to process for me as i’m a very sensitive soul, however I manage to find beauty in grief for it puts me in a state of melancholia and nostalgia and tends to reconnect me with versions of myself that I’d forgotten about, or states of being that I’ve come to appreciate more over time. Grief strips down the complex layers of being a human to it’s essence and it’s exactly this purity that I believe we all have in our hearts that makes me admire grief as an emotional process.
The particular grief that i’ve put into this piece of music has been evoked by the loss of a very special person that has immensly inspired me and will continue to do so for the rest of my living days; I wouldn’t have been the same hadn’t I met her. She was love and light and chaos and everything in between (and above!) and she’s taught me so much about myself and helped me grow and reach insights that I believe I wouldn’t have had nearly as soon (if ever) hadn’t i met her. She’s constantly with me in spirit and her and her legacy and energy will breath through me and my music and my very existence at all times. I miss you Dextra, I really fucking miss you. I’ll make sure no one will forget you and all you added to the world in the short time you graced us with ur presence, my love (how could they, you absolute icon). I love you.
Check in on your friends more.
Love,
Dani.
