Artist Biography
Horace is known as the techno-pioneer in Romania. In over 20 years of DJ-ing and producing, he achieved many important goals in electronic music.
In 1993, as a kid, with the help of 2 friends, he put together an electronic music band called 4 Me Double; he also started then his activity as a DJ at private parties. His radio debut was in the summer of 1995 as he produced the first electronic music show in Transylvania and the second in Romania. In December 1995 he organized the first electronic music party in Transylvania, called Rave Time.
Since then, he played in clubs and at festivals across Romania, and starting with 2003 he got a lot of international bookings across Europe. Horace was the first Romanian DJ that had a tour outside Romania: June 2003 in Germany and August 2003 in Poland. Since then, he has often been invited to play in clubs and at events in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Rep., Spain, Serbia, France, Italy, etc. Germany, Hungary, and Poland are the countries with the most parties where Horace was invited to play.
He was the one who built the electronic music scene in Transylvania, the success of some national and regional festivals like Delahoya, Transylvanian Summit, and DJs Gathering is due to Horace Dan D’s contribution as DJ and promoter and to the CRS organization.

Horace Dan D. is playing only on turntables (even 3), a performance that is being improved with a Cyclops and an Air FX. In the last years, he’s using also the new digital devices to improve his sets. He loves music that has rhythm and makes you move. His performance is very dynamic. The music-style he loves to play is techno (almost every type of techno) sometimes spiced with other influences from other styles.
