Dan Ghenacia Artist Bio

Dan Ghenacia came back from his mid nineties student trip in California with a bag full of psychedelic west coast house grooves. Once established again in Paris, he opens Traffic Records, a record shop that quickly became the reference in terms of nu-school house. But it’s at his legendary Kwality after party residency at the Batofar that Dan Ghenacia developed his style, and became acknowledged as one of the most talented dj of his generation.

In 2001 Dan closes his shop and stop his Batofar residency and starts playing abroad. He’s got his international breakthrough by becoming a regular in top clubs like Circo Loco @ DC10 in Ibiza or Back to Basics @ Rehab in Leeds.

His collaborations with David Duriez (with whom he started producing and launched his label “Freak n’ Chic”), Ivan Smagghe (with whom he started a monthly residency at the Rex Club in Paris “The Other Way”) and David K (with whom he’s now producing all his tracks under the “U & I” moniker) added to his musical evolution.

Now Dan work closely with David K and Dyed Soundorom in order to concentre both on the production side with dancefloors hits already under his selves as U & I on both FreaK n’Chic (Rockin’Fly) and Crosstown Rebels (Rebelone – Crocodile) and his label FreaK n’Chic with huge hits (like Abusator by Sweetlight) and hot newcomers (like :Terry: – Stop Talking and Jamie Jones – Amazon).

All of these made of Dan Ghenacia style a unique blend of electro rock energy, deep house vibrations, pop culture and spiritual approach to the dancefloor.
