With twelve years of production and fifteen years of DJ experience, Dan Caster is a fountain of musical knowledge, confident enough to let his work as an artist speak for itself. While many are aware of his own releases on Supdub (‘Wunderbar' and ‘Musica') and, most recently, Stil vor Talent (‘Bleeding'), his output as a behind-the-scenes producer for Niconé, Sascha Braemer or Rene Bourgeois may come as a pleasant surprise. He contributed to Niconé & Sascha Braemer's hugely successful ‘Romantic Thrills' album (2011), for example, while his own remix of ‘Runaway feat. Jan Blomqvist', one of the LP's highlights, ended up taking the Beatport Deep House charts by storm.
His smash-hit ‘Mama Say' for Light my Fire then climbed to the top 2 Beatport Nu Disco charts, and remixes for the likes of M.in or Oliver Schories cemented his position in the scene.
Just as refined and varied as his production style, Dan's skills as a DJ are best described as eclectic yet wonderfully coherent and extremely tight. He is a schooled reader of crowds and thus adepts perfectly to different club scenarios and energy levels, shifting seamlessly from deeper styles of house to techier material – something he proved on his recent SVT podcasts and that is reflected in his impressive booking schedule, which will take Dan to hotspot destinations such as Copenhagen, Kiev, Paris, Zurich or Munich, to name a few.
Here, Dan is no doubt gathering inspiration for his forthcoming album, which is scheduled to drop early next year.
Good things come to those who wait!
