Head of technique and resident DJ
Daan has been behind the decks for years. He reads the room sharply, picks the right record and tunes light and sound to each other live all night. For him a party is only a success when the technique disappears entirely into the experience.
On the blog he shares what happens behind the scenes. About the timing of a transition, the use of moving heads and special effects, and why the space matters just as much as the speaker.
A setlist is only finished when the technique moves with the room. We direct the night from start to finish, live, so that no moment is lost.
