Otaku Soundsystem Hong Kong's own Matt Best, Johnny Hiller and Samo DJ continue their monthly Balearic disco mission by inviting/showcasing international guests that have an interesting history and musical background. This April is no exception, we are in for a treat!.
The iconic and outspoken DJ/Producer Daniel 'The Dancer' Wang will be joining us directly from Berlin for one night only at Premium Sofa Club in Sheung Wang.
-------------------------------------------
Danny Wang is widely regarded as a very much ahead-of-his-time music producer and DJ inspiring the likes of Morgan Geist, Lindstrom and DFA to pursue their own eccentric visions of modern disco. His inimitable style has inspired generations of music lovers globally.
Daniel Wang is probably one of the most influential (non-commercial) dance music producers of the past 20 years. Danny is almost certainly the most internationally renowned 'ethnically Chinese' disc jockey traveling the world today, if not historically since the birth of DJ culture in the mid-seventies.
Daniel Wang was born in California but lived in Taiwan for eight years during his childhood. After returning to California for high school, Wang continued his education in New York and Chicago, studying psychology and literature. While completing his masters in Chinese Japanese language literature (a little know fact: Danny speaks 7+ languages fluently, yes fluently!) with a specialty in early pre-War Chinese cinema he ventured out to nightclubs full of gay people, club kids, and Afro-Americans who lived for music and dancing. In 1990 he settled in New York City where he worked at a vintage synthesizer and record shop and where he forged a friendship with the similarly minded Morgan Geist & Darshan Jesrani of Metro Area and another dear friend of ours Brennan Green. Starting his own record label Balihu in 1993, he soon after released ‘Like Some Dream I Can’t Stop Dreaming’, a song which took the relationship between repetition and rapture to new heights. ‘Like Some Dream…’ sent shock-waves through the dance underground and these days is regularly covered live by Hercules & Love Affair; you can hear it’s legacy in the tweaked disco-house of Soundstream and even Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk).
Essentially, Wang strongly echoes 'disco aesthetics' throughout his persona - being an avid Vogue dancer he is also known to wear outrageous outfits during his sets to suit the occasion. During his performance as one of the most restless and classically minded members of the dance music community usually Wang concerns himself with melody and texture. We are eagerly awaiting one of his lauded disco sets in Hong Kong, even those who are old enough to have made it into Canton Disco and Disco Disco will know what we are talking about..
