TRACK INFO:
Released: 5th October 2009 (on iTunes) ; 12th October 2009 (Hardcopy)
Label: Armada Music
Producer: Dash Berlin

The track is included in the newest album called “The New Daylight“. The album is an ode to all the people worldwide who have been supporting him and the scene in general. According to Dash, “it’s not about the DJ, it’s about the people that live and breathe the music. There is no Dash Berlin without them”, he says humbly.

 

ARTIST INFO:
Dash Berlin, was born as Jeff X. Sutorius, on November in 1979, in The Hague, the Netherlands. A family with wide musical tastes surrounded him and because of his late father, who was a distinguished drummer in a jazz band. In his late teens, Dash Berlin started working at a record shop and became a dedicated vinyl collector with a fascination for melodic, synthesized house music, subsequently known as Trance. Inspired by pioneering figures such as; Sven Vath, Oliver Lieb and Sander Kleinenberg, he slowly but surely started to develop his own innovative style of mixing and producing.
Propelled by his passion, he literally performed everywhere, from nine-hour gigs in shopping malls to the notorious illegal Dutch warehouse parties. During his set on the world famous Love Parade, Dash decided to incorporate the word Berlin behind his artist name. “It’s a dedication to that metropolis and her engaging, urban landscape”, he said, “Where I have seen more then a million people dancing on the streets, in the in the spirit of an ever-evolving Europe”.
In 2007, none other than Armin van Buuren revealed his newfound discovery to the world and featured Dash Berlin debut record Till The Sky Falls Down on his legendary Universal Religion album. The track became one of the most memorable, global anthems that year and remains one of the cultivated blueprints of the new Trance renaissance.
