I was chatting with my friend, Dagas, today. I have used his music in a few of my DJ mixes, and have been a fan of his style. It is kind of a psy-chillout trance hybrid that makes every song he creates have a drop-dead gorgeous sound.
He just released a track called Hyabusa, which ended up on the Hilfiger Denim Sessions CD mixed by Nigel Mack for Clubtronika. You can get the radio (with a bit of talking over it) release version here. Keep an eye out for more posts on Dagas in the future. I think his Icarus track deserves to be a RWAT soon.
And in case you are new to Nigel Mack, let me give you a quick run down. Actually, for the sake of time, let me allow the net to give you a run down.
