Dan Reaves is without a doubt one of the hottest tech/trance DJs
and producers in Germany right now. Hailing from Germany's
political und musical capital Berlin, he started djing back in 2000
and quickly made it on the bills of events such as the massive
60.000 capacity festival Nature One in Germany, where he
warmed up the crowd on the main stage for the likes of Paul van
Dyk, Armin Van Buuren and Sasha or the Airbeat One festival
where he headlined the trance stage alongside Ferry Corsten and
John Askew. Other highlights this year include the resurrected
Loveparade in Berlin and the huge Paradise City event in Vienna
to mention a few...
Together with his friend and studio partner Niels von Ahorn he build up the succesful team Reaves and Ahorn and their first two productions "Activity" and "Simple Ignorance"
(both produced in summer 2006) immediately got picked up by
nobody less than fellow ‹Berliner› Paul van Dyk himself who didn't
only hammer the tracks in his radio shows and at his gigs all
accross the globe, but also signed it to his VONYC.com music
download portal. Other supporters of Dan's and Niels' productions include
Armin Van Buuren who played "Activity" both in his «A State Of
Trance 217» radio show as well as at his gigs worldwide.
The latest production «Physical» just got signed to John
Askew's Discover label and was released in spring 2007.
Together with Niels Dan has
produced a string of remixes for the likes of Darren Tate «Prayer
For A God» (released on Mondo Records), John
O'Callaghan «Split Decisions» (released on Discover Records
spring 2007), Friends of Street Parade «Move Your Mind» - the
anthem to the 2006 Street Parade - (for EMI Music), Judge Jules
feat. Kate Marney «Ordinary Day» (an unofficial remix which was played by a lot of well known DJ's worldwide) or Sean Tyas «Drop» (will be
released on Discover Records soon).
Soon all those remixes got
supported and playlisted by international DJ heavyweights such as
Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, John Askew, Eddie Halliwell, John
O'Callaghan, Tillmann Uhrmacher, Solarstone, Matt Hardwick, Adam Sheridan and many more...
They also lately got the offer to remix Thomas Bronzwears
«Resound», which will be one of the next releases on Paul van Dyks
worldwide distinguished record label VANDIT.
Worldwide released
was also Dave Pearce’s mix series "Delirium" (Ministry of Sound)
for which he picked the Reaves and Ahorn remix of Corderoy’s
«Drifting». Remixes conquer already the world and the early
finished single will follow…
Dan has also made an impact on the airwaves accross the globe -
his sets have been broadcasted by radio stations such as
SunshineLive in Germany (in Tillmann Uhrmacher’s «Maximal»
show with more than 20,000 listeners on- and offline), DI.FM in the
USA (tranceUNITED supreme show) as well as on Paul van Dyk's
VONYC.com (in John Askew's show). And the overall positive
feedbacks he gets from dance music fans worldwide is excatly
what keeps him going from strength to strength...
