Interview with the DJ & producer Daniel Wanrooy about his album Slice Of Life. Daniel Wanrooy moves on to a whole new level in his career and presents his debut solo album entitled “Slice Of Life”.
Daniel has been pretty busy in the midst of the recording sessions for his new album. While working on “Slice Of Life” he finished remix assignments for The Crystal Method, Super8 & Tab, JES and Thrillseekers and saw his earlier single “Endless Moments” secured by Ferry Corsten, who used it for his double mix compilation “Once Upon A Night, Vol.2”. The same happened with Betsie Larkin with Super8 & Tab’s “All We Have Is Now” in the Daniel Wanrooy remix, which Corsten grabbed for “Full On Ferry - Ibiza”.

Interview with the EDM musician, Matt Lange. Two of the finest progressive releases that are circulating at the moment and captured the attention of the friends of eclectic electronic beats, have the same person in their credits. Matt Lange is the musician who is responsible for the awesome ‘Avalon/Griffith Park’ on AnjunaDeep, and the mesmerising ‘In and Out of Phase’ with the angelic vocals by Kerry Leva, co-produced with the talented Andrew Bayer. What is more; Matt Lange at the moment is re-releasing the full-Length Album ‘The Answer To The Question You Forgot To Ask’ under his 'Altered Tensions' alias, on his own record label ‘isoRhythm’, including bonus unreleased tracks. Matt graduated from Boston's Berklee College of Music with a degree in Music Synthesis, partnered with a thesis that pushed the boundaries of both 5.1 surround sound, and modern sound design. This proved to be enough to cater to the ears of dance music legend BT; enough that he chose him to co-program and engineer the critically acclaimed and Grammy nominated 'These Hopeful Machines'.
