Daniel Kandi is undoubtedly one of the biggest up and coming trance producers to emerge from Europe.
Above & Beyond was quick to react to Daniel Kandi's VERY first demo in 2006, and signed it straight away. ‘Breathe’ became Daniel's first single on one of the biggest trance labels in the world – Anjunabeats. The release was a smash hit globally and charted high on online shops and was caned by Above & Beyond, Judge Jules, Armin Van Buuren, Ronski Speed and many more. As a remixer he is in high demand by leading DJ’s and record labels around the globe. Luke Warner & Mat Lock - Deep Psychosis (Daniel Kandi's Cure Mix) entered the ASOT radio show with promising words from Armin van Buuren. The following week the track featured as, ‘TUNE OF THE WEEK’, and the week after 'FUTURE FAVORITE'; even being played on ASOT 350, live from Belgium. Even prior to that, it was a tune that got many "what is this" requests during Armin’s last US-tour..! Suddenly back in the top 20 on Beatport.com more than 6 months after its release, ‘Armin Only’ made a lot of new people aware of the tune and the brilliant producer-skills this guy has. 2008 will be the break for this young producer. During the year, he will play alongside Above & Beyond, Super8 & Tab, Sander Van Doorn, Ali Dubfire, Jon O'Bir, Fedde Le Grand, Airbase, Aly & Fila, Marcel Woods and many other top DJ’s. Gigs so far in 2008 include - Godskitchen Poland with Kandi spinning in front of 7000 crazed trance fans - playing alongside Sander Van Doorn, Above & Beyond, Dubfire, Marcus Schossow, and Marcel Woods! He also played in London at the now closed and legendary club - The Gallery @ Turnmills alongside Super8 & Tab and James Grant & many other events throughout Europe. Upcoming events this year include the Anjunabeats 100 party @ Syndicate in Blackpool, Club-Rehab @ The Arches in Glasgow alongside Jon O'bir and Re-Ward, Luminosity @ the beach in Zandwoort, NL, alongside the likes of Airbase, Kyau & Albert, DJ Shah, Mat Zo and many more. In addition the hugely anticipated Global Gathering Poland with more than 20,000 people in attendance went down a treat for the young Dane. The trance tent in which Kandi played, went from “a slow night” to “pure euphoria” as he delivered one of the best energy-packed 1-hour sets in the trance tent. Just check out the clips from YouTube, and you will be convinced about his ability. Surely this young man is on his way into the DJ Mag top 100 within very few years, and with loads of gigs around the globe to follow; Watch Out!
