Daniel Wang

Real Name:Daniel Wang
Profile:Born in Northern California, Daniel Wang spent 8 years of his childhood in Taiwan, returned to California for high school, and attended university in New York and Chicago. Instead of finishing his papers, however, he ran out to underground clubs and danced all night to early house music and disco classics, befriending and learning from a few old-school voguers and DJs along the way.
Dissatisfied with the increasingly unmusical soundtrack of modern nightlife, Danny started Balihu Records in 1993. The first release became a cult success. Danny moved back to NYC and eventually found a job at Dr. Sound Music Store, where he delved deeply into vintage production gear and synths, including the Theremin.
Balihu put out a range of unusual tracks from 1994 to 2000 in the spirit of Philly and Italo Disco, and Wang began producing for the Environ label in 1997. In the past 2 years, he has performed around the world, and his originality is gradually being recognized.

manchester, Sep 12, 2005

I only discovered Daniel Wang recently & he has really given me a new sonic twist on the genre of house music that was my first love & that I still cherish so much. Daniel Wang obviously has his strong influences in quality underground disco & he has brought that love into his music, creating brilliantlly original spacey house music with beautiful percussive elements and NO cheesy samples. A true innovator.
