Starting today, I’m officially joining the @beatport team and taking on the role of Music Curator. I’m very happy to join the team and contribute my knowledge and expertise to the growth of the global electronic dance music community. dsokolovskiy.com/blog/all/music…

The underground trance scene is thriving right now, with incredible releases dropping one after another. The sound of this makes me remember why I fell in love with trance music three decades ago! Here’s a glimpse into that world straight from my DJ oven: daniellesden.com/podcast/156/

In case you missed it, my recorded live set from last month’s Dance:Love:Hub is now up on SoundCloud, featuring plenty of JOOF sound and deep trance classics. Big thanks to Robert Stainforth for the lovely photos! Enjoy the set: soundcloud.com/daniellesden/d…

Rave Podcast 155 After months of quite intense episodes, this time we're diving into a deeper, darker, and more laid-back progressive and techno sound that really locks into the groove (with a few unexpected twists, of course). Enjoy! daniellesden.com/podcast/155/

Thank you so much for the love at Dance:Love:Hub last Saturday! It’s always such a privilege to play there, and the vibe was amazing ❤️ I recorded my set (already up on Patreon for those who want early access), and it’ll be available publicly in a week or two. Until next time!

Getting my Rekordbox ready for the upcoming gig at Dance:Love:hub this Saturday! Set times: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm DJ Jon Cockle 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Photrix 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm Daniel Lesden 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm The Digital Blonde Event details and tickets: ra.co/events/1890200

This month, we have an outstanding showcase of the 'Raw Trance' sound, featuring music from some of my current favourite producers like Mikkel Rev, Asca, Omformer, Oprofessionell, Whirloop, Sioc, Alan Backdrop, Lucinee, and more: daniellesden.com/podcast/154/

Rave Podcast 153 continues to blend raw, deep, and hypnotic sounds, full of emotional trance vibes and frisky hard grooves. I think it's safe to say it perfectly highlights where I am musically at the moment. daniellesden.com/podcast/153/

Can’t wait to get back to my favourite London underground party Dance:Love:Hub and play alongside Jon Cockle and The Digital Blonde! 🗓️ 28th September, 2024 (1 to 9 pm, day-time event) 📍 Basing House (25 Kingsland Road, London, E2 8AA) 🎫 Tickets: ra.co/events/1890200

Rave Podcast 152 is now up online on all platforms. In this episode, we shift gears towards the trancey soundscapes I promised last time. Enjoy! daniellesden.com/podcast/152/

A new music-digging session video is up online 😃🎧 Full video (31 min) is on Patreon: patreon.com/posts/music-di…

This talk resonated with me A LOT. Not only is the storytelling bloody brilliant but most importantly, it summarises how I feel about the modern-era Internet as a creative person. Highly recommend to watch from start to finish: youtube.com/watch?v=hwn6-8…
