Dano

Real Name: Daniël Leeflang
Date Of Birth: 29-01-1970
Residence: Huizen, NL

Bio:
Dano started spinning in 1984 at several illegal radio stations in Amsterdam. In '87 he became a journalist for an Amsterdam based Newspaper (News of the day by Telegraaf), through which he came in contact with Eddy de Clerq (Dutch House-Guru) and club Roxy. The Roxy was the first club in Holland that started with Acid House.

In 1989 Dano had a show on the popular radio station Radio 100, with Freddy B; Acid Explosion. 1990 Was the year in which Dano had his first residency in club Mazzo with Dimitry and D-Shake. The night was called Club Loca.

The first massive party in Holland (The Final Exam) was organized by ID&T in the Jaarbeurs Utrecht in 1992. Dano spun amongst his buddies Prophet, Gizmo and Buzz Fuzz. Together they where known as THE DREAMTEAM. Many huge parties followed after this, i.e. Mayday & Love Parade in Berlin, Germany. The well-known Hell raiser parties in Sporthallen Zuid Amsterdam and other big ID&T events. Dano won 4 awards for being the best gabber/hardcore dj during this period.

After 8 years of hardcore it was time for him to progress. Techno became the music that had earned his passion. The year 2000 started with the foundation of his own techno label in January. TPF Records (does it ring a bell?). The first 5 releases were produced together with KC.

2001 Caused some changes to happen. Damian Keane is now producing on the TPF label with Dano as they move from strength to strength. In a recent poll on the Awakenings website, where the question was "which DJ that never played on awakenings, should according to you?" Dano won with 25%. Dano was also one of the key players behind many previous TPF parties and will remain heavily involved in the many good things to come!!!
