Description
Dan Ghenacia, a name that needs no introduction to any self respecting underground house aficionado. One of the hottest names on the Ibiza scene, with his infamous Circo Loco residency at the coolest club on the island, DC10. Residing alongside illustrious artists and DJs such as Kerri Chandler, Seth Troxler, Maceo Plex, Cassy, The Martinez Brothers, Dixon, Ben Klock, Matthias Tanzmann, Ellen Allien, Soul Clap, Lee Curtiss, Dubfire and Marcel Dettmann to name a few… He’s the undisputed kingpin of the Paris underground scene and one of France’s hottest DJ exports, having founded and ran for 7 years Freak N’Chic and now one of the three creative minds behind new label and b2b DJ outfit Apollonia.Dan’s love affair with music ignited whilst spending a year in California in his early 20’s, soaking up West Coast house and psychedelia. On his return to Paris, Dan channelled this passion into a record selling business opening his own store Traffic Records, but as a true fan of the music he didn’t just want to peddle vinyl – he wanted to play it. Quickly gaining notoriety on the Paris scene with the infamous afterparties at Batofar, it was here he honed his distinctive techno-meets-deep-house sound, at the same time inspiring a new generation of DJ’s and first sharing the decks with later to become lifelong friends and fellow Circo Loco residents, Dyed Soundorom and Shonky.
With his intuition for raw talent and an ear for a killer track, Dan started his own label Freak N’Chic, breaking artists such as Dyed Soundorom, Djebali, Shonky, and even releasing the debut Jamie Jones EP.
2012 saw the highly-anticipated launch of Apollonia, Dan’s new record label with Dyed Soundorom and Shonky. Serving as a platform for the trio‘s productions, Dan’s recent collaboration with Shonky ‘Close To The Edge’ gained full support across the underground scene and became a prominent track of the summer, while a solo EP from Dan will be out before the end of the year. Apollonia marks a new phase in Dan’s career – travelling and playing alongside his closest allies, more mature, confident and comfortable in his individual sound than ever.
