Met DJ's Dan D (Geno, BE), David Gluck (Minibar, FR) en Janina (Club der Visionaere, DE)Dan DMusic has always been a very important part of Dan D's life. His musical education started with playing the recorder at the age of 6. At age 12 he started to take clarinet and alto sax lessons. When he reached15, Dan broadened his horizons to include the Piano. With a primary focus in Jazz and Classical music, Dan then formed a Jazz Quartet called Jacuzzi Jazz together with friends from high school. Jacuzzi Jazz focused on playing Jazz standards, excerpts from film scores, and original compositions. In parallel to Dan's musical education, he developed a strong interest for dancing. Latin American and Ballroom Dancing occupied the rest of his free time. Dan's passion for dancing lead him to become an dance instructor after finishing high school. Dan was thrilled by Latin American and Afro-Cuban rhythms, which lead his focus to Latin Dancing. Electronic music had it's first strong impact on Mr. D when he moved to Berlin in 2001.Dan fell in love with the incredible sexy energy of house music while spending time at the Perlon parties in the original Panorama Bar. Once infected by this vibe Dan started collecting records and two years later had his DJ debut at the legendary Beatstreet afterhours in Berlin. After playing at several underground parties and afterhours, Dan went on to play Berlin clubs such as Watergate, Arena, Maria and the new Panorama Bar.Club der Visionäre has also been very important to Dan's musical growth - this unique location gave him the opportunity to cut his teeth playing 10 hour marathon sets during his regular appearances since 2004.Since 2009, Dan has also had a residency at the Diagonal parties in Nuremberg / Bavaria.Furthermore, he appeared in Clubs like Rote Sonne (Munich) and Decadance (Gent, Belgium).

Friends like Tobi Neumann and Dinky pushed him towards music production in 2003. Dan gained additional technical ability by taking engineering classes and participating in audio workshops offered by the AES. Dan is constantly busy gaining knowledge in musical theory, learning composition, jazz harmonics, psychoacoustics and arranging. This now allows him to incorporate his classical and jazz background into the creative process that fuels his current music production for media and television. The strong impact of electronic music which has driven his continued production of funky, jazzy, and organic house tracks, has yet to leave Dan. Dan’s first vinyl release on District of Corruption lead to praise from some of the best dj’s in the business including Tobi Neumann, Josh Wink, Dinky, Fabrice Lig, Laurent Garnier, Minilogue, Somone Else, John Selway, Ed Davenport, Richie Hawtin, and Dj T.

David Gluck
Born  and raised in Paris, David Gluck first came to electronic music at age 16. After a couple of years attending every house party and rave he could, he bought his first records and turntables. Meanwhile, he and his friends started organising their own events and had quite some success with their small-scale events.

In 1999 David choose to join forces with his friend Cabanne when he joined Logistic Records in order to work on the new sublabel Telegraph.
1999 is also the date of birth of the UltraKurt project created along with Cabanne, which will spawn a first release on Telegraph two years later, followed by a few others on Telegraph, Logistic, Perlon, Foundsound and finally Minibar.
During these years, David also released as Spasm on Telegraph’s “Post Office” compilations.

In the fall of 2003, Gluck decided to move to Berlin. The following summer he joined the resident Dj team at the Club Der Visionaere and is put in charge of the clubs program. Alongside David produced only little music during his Berlin stay, except for a Robert Hood remix along with Cabanne (as UltraKurt) for Logistic Records, a few remixes and a track for Minibar’s first own label Compilation “Milkshake”.

In 2008 David choose to move to the Netherlands and progressively started to produce music on his own again.

Nowadays, David participates to multiple projects along with visual artist Denise Pakes (aka Eyekino) for Motel Mozaïque, Lumia or as the group ‘Gazon’ for the dutch Antilounge project.
The first few days of 2011 also came with their bag of good news as David has now reintegrated Minibar Music as a full team member again and released his first solo ep on Minibar (mb023).
