Silizium technology by Dan Droff

A dj mix from 2006 which I still like. That's quite exceptional. A word for the oh-so-feared tooth of time: "Eat that!!"

Dan Droff closing down Silo.

What a pity!
In just two short weeks my favorite club will be no more. I've been dj'ing there since 2004 and had my first real party experiences at club Silo. It's Sad.
It used to be one of my big dreams to organize a party at Silo with my all time favorite electronic artist: Apparat. Bitter Sweet taste of Irony:

Picking up producing

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Droff) — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 14:27:00 +0000

Hellow friends,

Just a short message to announce my winter sleep. I'm gonna lay low for a while and concentrate on producing tracks in stead of deejaying. As always, I'm gonna work real hard, before sharing the fruits of that labor with you. So in the meantime, enjoy these two older tracks and I'll see you on the other side!

Take care

oeee

Joined a dj contest

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Droff) — Tue, 25 May 2010 11:24:00 +0000

This is my second contest ever!
My first attempt was in 2003 in the yellow fever competition. I won a warm up gig at Brabant Halle featuring Steve Rachmad and Tomaz who just had his hit-record out: Sunshine (Tomaz vs Filterheadz). Remember that one?!

Anywayzzz. Now I entered the rewind dj contest, hoping to win another warm up gig. This time for two of my all time favorite minimalists:
Butane and Someone Else.
If you want to root for me, check out the demo set and leave a message! -> LINK
Thanks

Sunday: Apero

a track I made...

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Droff) — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 08:09:00 +0000

for the EPBJ (evil power blowjob) label.

EPBJ Records, notorious for the proclamation of global moral decay, is proud to present its first release: Gormandizers EP by Darc.

Known in his hometown Aalst for his enormous neck rug, Darc is determined to spread his dirty musical repertoire throughout the universe. The release is backed up with remixes from sleazy kids from the block Dan Droff and Voltron . While Dan Droff gives Sachsen a minimal approach soaked with dark beyond hell vibes, Voltron delivers a ghetto room house mix for Check This Out. Accompanied by some nipple twisting and squeezing artwork created by The Sex Tourist , Darc offers you an opportunity to boogie your limbs and ass off - all this for free!

Free music (dutch only)

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Droff) — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 08:36:00 +0000

De voorbije vijf jaar ben ik als dj veel bezig geweest met de netlabel-scene. Ik heb het dan over online labels die ervoor kiezen hun muziek gratis te verspreiden. Dat gaat perfect legaal dankzij een alternatieve auteursrechtelijke licentie die buiten het traditionele SABAM systeem valt: de Creative Commons licentie.
Niet iedereen is geïnteresseerd in de juridische problematiek van de muziekindustrie. Terecht ook...er zijn al genoeg fuck-sabam-roepers. Ik wil mij niet aansluiten bij hen, maar ik wijs muziekliefhebbers er wel graag op, dat er alternatieven zijn.

Waar vind ik die gratis muziek? Op welke site kan ik die downloaden?

Helaas...voor gratis muziek is er geen "Beatport" of "iTunes Shop" en er zijn geen deftige top 100 of ultra-tops. Er zijn alleen zeeën sites, sloten vol labels en een onoverzichtelijke storm van artiesten.
Ik persoonlijk ben geïnteresseerd in minimal techno die werkt op dansvloeren. Het kost al veel moeite om nog maar alleen deze beperkte categorie enigzins te kunnen volgen. Om dat te doen volg ik massa's blogs en sites en download en beluister ik 1-2 gigabytes per week. Dat is een inspanning die niet van iedereen verwacht kan worden. De nummers die ik op die manier verzamel gebruik ik in mijn dj-sets en deel ik met mijn vrienden. Misschien moet ik er meer mee doen.

Daarom heb ik de "sharing is caring" site gestart. Het is een blog en een facebook pagina waarop links gepost worden. Het zijn rechtstreekse download-links naar .zip files. Geen omwegen. Geen gewacht. Gewoon Downloaden. De muziek is sabamvrij en legaal om te downloaden, te kopiëren, door te geven, te remixen, thuis af te spelen of te draaien in clubs, maakt niet uit.

Ik denk dat dit vooral interessant is voor deejays en zware muziekjunkies.
Voor deejays lijkt het mij de moeite omdat er vaak pareltjes tussen zitten van artiesten die gewoon NOG niet bekend zijn. Kijk bijvoorbeeld naar Dapayk, Someone Else, Butane, Barem, Cesare vs Disorder of Dilo. Dat zijn allemaal gasten die in 2005-2006 op netlabels gratis muziek waren aan het verspreiden en ondertussen regelmatig de beatport top 10 kraken.
Voor muziekjunkies lijkt het mij de moeite, gewoon omdat ja...jullie zijn junkies he.

Soit, we gaan eens zien wat het geeft. Ik nodig alvast mijn facebook-dj-muziek-vriendjes uit om de "fanpagina" te volgen. Dat zijn er niet zo veel, dus moest iemand hier op dit forum nog wat mensen kennen die geïnteresseerd zijn in gratis minimal-techno-boenke-boenke ... spread the word ... cause you are what you share.

Thanx for your time.
wouter

Thank you friends for a sheerfull and sharefull year.
I really enjoyed the new years eve party. The big turn out was a welcome reward for the silenced team. A lot of people worked really hard this year.

Oprichting van de vzw. Het subsidiedossier schreven we twee keer. De demowedstrijd. Een nieuwe website. Start van het netlabel. De sharing is caring site. Nieuwe t-shirts. De fundamenten van ons booking agentschap. Silent Society, één keer in de machine en één keer in apero. Silence @ Silo, twee keer. Vier keer black nostrils. Een blinkende myspace en een toffe fotoshoot.

Special thanks to:
Pieter, Raphael, Crisp, Nebby, Bob, Anselm, Nico, Peter, Gert, Michel, Twyla, Michael, Jaume, Andreas, Jelte, Andre Lanine en de mannen van Eavesdrop.

SILO new year's eve

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Droff) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:10:00 +0000

free entrance in 2009,
only ten euro's in 2010.
I should be playing from 03.00am till 05.00am. Back to Back with Raphael Klaps. I'm not sure I'll be able to, because of some temporary ear issues :'(

The silenced collective will start the party. They'll guide you safely from 2009 to 2010. You can already look forward to a big countdown, deep basslines and intelligent climaxes. These guys know what they 're doing. They've been living on Silo techno for more than a decade now. With great love, they've seen the music evolve to what some might refer to as 'contemporary techno'. Of course, that's just a name. What you can count on, is 6 years of residency at Silo and a line-up that's earthquake-proof: Crisp, Pilsner, Sebastian Häld, Dan Droff, Raphaël Klaps.

Some videofragments from a recent party. Dubbed with the original recordings. It's nice to hear the music, but also quite funny, because it looks so calm, while the music was po po pow pounding :-)
