C12 x Freddy K presents TAKEOVER with D.Dan

Freddy K: techno activist. Since the ‘90s Alessio Armeni has been tireless campaigning from the dancefloor, defending vinyl, championing young talents and reinforcing the scene from the shadows. You will know him best for his marathon DJ sets and deviant selections. You might recognise him as the head of KEY Vinyl, or for the backstage role he played at M_Rec, the label he helped run with best friend Max_M. You should definitely know about Virus, the thing that started it all off for him back in Rome.

The propulsive and uncompromising nature of D.Dan’s sound, both DJing and on record, tactfully navigates a distinct intersection of raw grooves, slippery psychedelia and visceral techno bass rhythmics. Informed by his Korean- American roots, musical training as a percussionist, experiences in the Seattle DIY underground, and current residency in the notable Berlin-based party Mala Junta, D.Dan’s sets create an intense state of dynamic tension, deep hypnosis, and sublime release, evolving to define a singular sound and experience.
