Dan Berkson & James What Live @ Sonar Festival 2006
ABOUT
Originally a keyboard player, Dan was playing six nights a week in his hometown of Chicago by the age of 16. He entered the New England Conservatory of Music in 1993 and quickly immersed himself in the worlds of jazz, funk and soul. While at NEC, he studied with such jazz greats as Danilo Perez, Cecil Mcbee and George Russell. Dan co-founded "The Daddys", a funk band which won numerous awards and gained a loyal fan base in the Boston area. "The Rockett Band" was a second project that took off locally, but after two self-released albums and selling out venues in Boston, New York, Providence, and Portland, Dan left the band to pursue a solo career.
As his interests turned more to house, dub and electronic music, he went to London to study production and immersed himself in the UK's forward thinking music scene. Since then Dan has released tracks on Mood Music, Movim, Exun, Gourmet, Household, and has upcoming releases on Poker Flat, Crosstown Rebels, and several more. His deep electronic house finds its way into the boxes of countless DJs across the globe. Look out for Dan Berkson and James What LIVE!!

Hi there, Thnx for the add:) How's life in London? How's the house-scene there?
Check out my remixes of 'Like That', 'BONG!' and my track 'F*ck Me Up' at my music player:) It's OUT NOW!:) After it was released, it went straight to #1 of the download Top 100 of dance-tunes.com!! Also featured on compilation cd's such as Sensation White, Pacha Ibiza and many more! Supported by Roger Sanchez, Tom Stephan, Jerry Ropero, Bad Boy Bill and many more worldwide!
Samuel Brunel is an upcoming artist from France who released his debut track on Autist. His new EP "Orpheo" is a peak time techno track that will rock all dancefloors! Samuel is a relatively new name on the minimal scene but certainly a name to watch in the new year…
Trained as a pianist, Samuel Brunel became quickly influenced by repetitive music, from Philip Glass to Steve Reich. He began integrating machines into his compositions, and the evocative power and energy of minimal techno fascinated him. He eventually traded his instruments for a computer, which led to various collaborations with classical musicians and filmmakers…
Everything starts with Samuel’s original approach. The track includes rolling percussions with a bassy drive and a lots of dynamic background action that makes this track a real infectious groove… For the first time, Zhao offers a decidedly techno track with a cyclical & bleep touch that will surprise many! Redj’s remix is a minimal techno track deep & dark to get cold in the back… Finally, Zecapx delivers a mental version with sliced leads, a swing bass line and deconstructed samples.
