Listen to DJ Dag - one of the Godfathers of Trance

DJ Dag - old fart like me

But still killing the dance floors around Frankfurt. Dag did a lot of cool projects also in the US when he lived with the American Natives which resulted in one of his most successful commercial projects (with Jam el Mar). To me it is him and Sean V. who really paved the way for the generation after and made Techno / Friday a fun happening - bit different from the guys in Berlin. Listen to one of his recent live gigs.
