ベルギーの港町アントワープにて生まれ育ったDaniel.fxは、
幼い頃から船乗りの父の背中を見て育ち、
「俺も親父の様な海の男になるんだ!」と胸に誓っていたが、
たまたま遊びに行ったダンスパーティーにて衝撃を受け、
「これだっ!!!」とばかりに、あっさりとDJ修業の為にベルリンへと向う。
船乗り修行時代に培われた強靭な下半身が持ち味のDanielのDJセットは、
腰に響く重低音を自在に操り、時には荒波の如く激しく、時には全てを包み込む様な穏やかな表情を見せ、まさに海そのものと言っても過言ではない!
そんな噂がテクノ大国ドイツで口コミの評判となるのは時間の問題ではなく、
一躍ベルリンのディープアンダーグラウンドの帝王にまで登り詰めたのだ。
そして、盟友Reynoldが主宰するTrenton Recordsの運営にも携わる様になり、
Todd BodineやYapacc、Johnny Wagnerなどのアングラアーティストとの共作でリリースを重ね、そのどれもがLoco
Dice, Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtinと言ったスーパースターDJ達のプレイリストに上がり、
DJのみならずクリエイティブ面でもその才能をいかんなく発揮している。
今でこそ彼は言う...
「親父の修行に比べたら、2時間のDJなんて屁でもねぇぜ!!」と。
