Background (bio):
Dan was involved into electronic dance music in the year 1997 when he was only 12. He fastly became very passionate about hard and fast straight kick music. In those days the dutch klubb vibe was taking over in the local clubs of Novosibirsk City (Russia), this sound became Dan’s favourite for the next few years. He started to produce his own tracks under the name ’Reactor’ and have had some of them played by local djs and released on the tapes recorded in the local studios.

Dan found out about the british uk hardhouse sound in 2000 and that was definately a big discovery for him. He never stopped to listen to hard house since that time.

Started to play as a DJ in the end of 2001 Dan was firstly spinning all styles of house music including deep and progressive, disco and jazzy house in the local clubs and on the local radio show "Locomotive". He started to play hard stuff in the year of 2003. Since then he is spinning on a regular basis at the underground events in Novosibirsk and across Siberian region trying to push Hard House/NRG sound to the masses.

In the past two years he has played about 60 events in total, appearing on the stage with dj’s like Mark Maitland, Panacea, Promo & Husz, Electric Indigo, Victor Strogonov and others. Being the first Hard House/NRG DJ in the east part of Russia he is now one of the most known among the local underground scene.

Along with The NullTag Promotions Dan has launched the first in the east part of Russia Hard Dance club night "Speedball" oriented on Hard House, Hard Trance and UK Hardcore, having had 6 successful events since february 2007.

He also runs his own digital imprint "Alien Technology" to help local underground producers spread their sound worldwide.
