Denmark might be a small place on the map, but the country has produced big exports that are forces to be reckoned with; Danish Bacon, Aqua and now: Daniel Kandi!

Daniel Kandi has been featured on all the major radio shows by the top 10 DJs in the world. His tunes are renowned for their emotional melodies and energetic drive. Forums were quick to vote Daniel into the ASOT 400 tour. Armin handpicked Daniel to represent trance music at its very finest in a 3-country tour celebrating the 400th ASOT radio show.

Starting his growth as an artist on Anjunabeats, he was an obvious choice to support Above & Beyond at their massive TATW 300 show in Moscow in December 2009. With a packed Forum Hall in Moscow, Kandi helped along with the other DJs to celebrate the ongoing dominance of Anjunabeats and its artist stable.

Having had an amazing year, with gigs in Australia, UK, USA, Argentina, Ibiza, Poland, Ukraine, Finland, and many more, Daniel was voted in at no. 87 in this year’s DJmag top 100 poll. A plethora of great gigs from 2009 have been the reason for this, as Kandi reflects on memories of closing for Ferry Corsten in Australia, with a packed QBH club; "A night i will never forget", he comments, “One of the many moments from the year to remember”.

Other prominent gigs have seen Daniel included in the major Godskitchen in Ludowa Hall PL (also used for the polish Sensation parties), MOS Gallery in London, Gatecrasher Seven, Digital Society in Leeds, Global Gathering PL, Fresh Squeezed Festival in L.A., Summadayze Festival in Sydney Australia, Segara Lounge in Indonesia, and many more!

With shows already lined up for 2010 such as Trance Energy in Utrecht, the Love Parade in Germany, Armin’s A State Of Trance 450 party and Anjunabeats events across the globe, and a debut artist-album in the making, the future is looking good for Daniel Kandi.
