Located in Detroit, Aran Daniels became addicted to the techno sounds being pumped in nightclubs such as Motor and The Shelter in the 90's. As a DJ, he has been influenced by labels such as Perlon and Playhouse, while never forgetting the Midwest's techno and house roots. Currently Aran is a resident DJ with Detroit party promoters Proper Modulation and has recently shared the decks with Mikael Stavostrand, Move D, The Juan Maclean, Efdemin, and Holy Ghost! just to name a few.
