Dankann, the DJ/producer from Italy started producing in 2008 and had a huge year in 2009 releasing about 5 solid EPs, along with many remixes. To me, Dankann is the definition of progressive house, so many different sounds in all of his tracks, yet he makes it all fit together flawlessly. Most of his songs have trance aspects, just slowed down to 127-130bpm. Clean production and solid song structure, and Beatport has mentioned him as a producer to follow closely in 2010. He's had 4-5 top 10 originals and remixes on the beatport prog house charts, and his single 'Helia' has been played out by Tiesto, Axwell, etc.. While I wouldn't call his music groundbreaking, he seems to put together all the great aspects of prog house together in each and every track. He has about 15-20 originals all released within the past 2 years, and they are all ROCK SOLID tracks.

It's a shame that progressive house is out and tech house is in, have you guys heard his stuff? check it out and tell me what you think..I think a lot of you will like it, and I don't think there's a more consistent progressive house producer right now. I even had problems choosing which songs to upload/post, wanted to stick to only 5 when I could have easily posted 10 up here.

Dankann - Tribulation (Original Mix)


Dankann - Ethnology (Original Mix)


Dankann - Relief (Original Mix)


Dankann - Rain (Original Mix)


Dankann - Return from Paradise (Original Mix)

Nothing grinds my gears like an OMG BEST PRODUCER/DJ EVAR thread

So.. you don't like discovering and sharing new music with other people? I love these kinds of threads, especially when they are properly structured.

I also never said he's the best producer ever, I said he's one of the best up and coming progressive house producers. If you like progressive house, check it out.. otherwise stay clear of these kinds of threads.

I dont mind discovering and sharing new music. But typing "best" or whatever name in a thread is kind of a flamebait.

They are idiots.

I listened to a little cause I don't have much time, but it sounded really nice. Great production quality.

If it were me making this thread, I would say 'great' as opposed to best.

Took a listen, not entirely sure why I did either.

This guy just sounds like yet another producer who can deadmau5 pretty well. Nothing more.

It isn't horrible, but it isn't anything special or original either.

How long have you been listening to dance music? Not a flame attempt bit a serious question.

3 years? I listen to all forms of electronic music, most of it isn't EDM. I like progressive music in general.
