Daniel Carter - Music Style: House

 

 

From an early age, music captivated Daniel’s imagination, playing keyboard, guitar & drums while growing up. At age 15, Friday to Monday nights were spent sitting in the DJ booth of the Gold Coast's "hottest" nightclub for hours on end. Experiencing the pulsating energy of house music on a dance floor, he was hypnotised by the groove in the air and forever changed. …It became clear that DJing was his calling.

After years of sitting in the booth studying other DJ’s and learning the technique and theory. The then 18 year old graced the decks and snared his 1st club residency. Which is when theory was put into practice in The Mansion nightclub’s V.I.P. bar in the back room (2000)? Delivering a unique blend of underground prog-house, tribal and tech-house to weekly capacity crowds, to a two-year residency at the infamous “Fame V.I.P. Bar” (in one of Australia’s most prestigious nightclubs, Fever. Weekly sets in main room also) playing an incomparable mix of garage, disco, and proper house, effectively combined with a technical arsenal that includes silky long mixes, running accapellas through the mix, double beating, clever use of Dj tools, sampling loops, well timed effects, layering hip-hop lyrics and dropping old school bombs.
