Biography:
Listening to electronic music since the late 80's and a DJ since 1994, Rydel has played a wide variety of electronic dance music, from Hardcore and hardtrance, via house to techno and various other styles in between. Standing out for his technique and his feel for the crowd he has travelled around europe to perform his sets. Inspired by Slovenia he started playing techno in the year 2000. Moving from Amsterdam to Ljubljana in 2004, Rydel mainly focuses on house and techno now, but as he doesn't believe in placing tracks in a specific genre don't expect a set to be 100% one style. New, old, commercial, uplifting, pounding, floating, euphoric or deep.. It's all a matter of time, place and people.
The productions go along with that philosophy: many tracks can be placed in various styles. His first releases came out on Krach Records (Germany), FRR (Slovenia) and Taigatrommel (Switzerland) and after teaming up with the talented Portuguese producer D-Oxid several more tracks and remixes are on the way to the stores. Another project called 'Bootleg Bitchez' came to life with friend & fellow-DJ Deyo, combining various tracks by others with hard-banging techno rhythms of their own.
Start 2007 the label DDance-Records sees first daylight, with Rydel & DDance-owner Chuanse as the main force behind it. The label represents all styles of Electronic Music by various known and unknown producers. The first release came out Summer 2007.
