Danny Daze Is Daniel Gomez A Studio Nerd And DJ With A Taste For Techno. Djing At Raves At The Age Of 13 Is How His Obsession With This Sound Was Rooted. Raised In Miami Fl. Daze Is Influenced By His Cuban Culture This Giving Him The Latin Influence Heard In Some Of His Music And DJ Sets. With Other Influences By Giorgio Moroder And Anthony Rother Daze's DJ Sets Are Deeply Commanded By Detroit Techno And Italo Disco. Steeped In Miami’s B-Boy Culture It Was Classic Electro & Miami Bass That Conceived Danny Daze's Love For The Experimental Dutch Electro & Detroit Techno Scenes Of The 90’s. Labels Like Schematic In Miami Interdimensional Transmissions From Detroit & Viewlexx Out Of The Hague Set The Foundation For Daze. Daniel Gomez Adopted His Daze Moniker Early On At His Mother’s Suggestion. Practicing On A Set-Up She Bought Him Daze Was Spinning At Weddings By Age 14 Funneling His Earnings Into Vinyl To Play Raves On The Side. That Eventually Led To Producing His First Tracks In 2004 On A Cracked Version Of Fruity Loops And Later That Year He Jumpstarted A Electro/techno White Label Called Omniamm. Daze’s Risk-Taking & Punk Approach Is At The Core Of Everything He Does And It’s A Big Part Of The Ethos Of His Current Label Omnidisc. "We're Not Searching For Chart Topping Hits. We’re More Interested In Curating A Catalog Of Music You’ll Remember When You Walk Out The Door. We Seek Out Tracks That Are As Raw As Possible & Welcome Imperfections. We Love The Charm Of An Unpolished Record” Says Daze. It’s Also This Freeform & Experimental Approach Together With An Element Of Surprise That Sets Him Apart From The Pack As Both A DJ & Producer. As A DJ He Prefers To Express His Versatility Across Long Sets. He Is Known To Cut & Weave From Electro To Techno Into Italo Disco Into A Record By Yazoo Deliberately Intended To Provoke A Reaction. “I Once Played A Paula Abdul Record At Berghain… Basically It’s Like It Or Leave It” Says Daze. As A Producer His Output Ranges From Releases On Kompakt’s Speicher Series To Remixes On Phantasy Comeme Monkeytown & More… But He Also Reaches Far Beyond Techno & Has Created Original Runway Soundtracks For Award Winning American Streetwear Designer John Elliott & The Australian Brand Song For The Mute. "I’m Obsessed With The Detailed Manipulation Of Audio. It’s At The Core Of How I Make Music & I Constantly Feel The Need To Involve Myself With Projects That Challenge & Allow Me To Think Out Of The Box... Whether It’s Creating A Single Recognizable Noise For The New MacBook Or An Advert For A Fashion Campaign Blending Original Music With Sound Design” Says Daze. Danny Daze’s Radical Approach To Preserving Music’s Integrity While Breaking Its Boundaries May Seem Volatile But It’s Not Random. “I’ve Always Gone Against The Grain & It’s Important For Everything I Do To Feel Authentic. There Isn't Much Difference Between Daniel Gomez And Danny Daze.” read less
