Think hes decent but definitly agree with what others say about using the same formula, Until he breaks out of this mould he will only be a good producer.
Tom Colontonio is another decent producer at the moment, and I look forward to hear more from him.

ENJOY!!

Enjoyable basic AnjunaTrance.

i like Daniel Kandi's music, like most of his productions and remixes

i would say that it is very "euro" trance, a bit cheesy, but nonetheless very good

I Found The Way/Make Me Believe was imo, a very good EP and I was quite shocked at the low rating mixmag gave me! he has talent which he frequently shows us all

look forward to seeing more from him

I don't really hear the difference between his work, and the work of say... Sunny LAX (I could go through a large amount of the Anjuna artists and say the same thing). It's really all based on the same sounds/organization. I don't hear any real 'unique style' behind any of it.

I actually resent the word "euro" being used as a prefix to designate more commercial-friendly "trance" music, simply because all the good quality trance comes overwhelmingly from Europe anyway.

As for calling his productions cheesy, I'd like to know what you're basing that on? Are you calling it cheesy on the fact that he creates memorable melodies, or are you saying that his melodies are surrounded by over-simplified elements which causes a lack of depth, as in being extremely commercial?

Personally, I consider most of the electro/tech-trance stuff coming out recently cheesier than even something like cascada...I mean, at least they made some tunes with a "melody" you can recognize for crying out loud, despite being hellishly annoying.

I like his stuff, always get a little buzz when I know there's a new Daniel Kandi production coming up in a set I've donwloaded I get the same feeling with Nitrous Oxide as well, 2 great talents.

i base cheesy on the general formulaic plucked melodies he tends to use. for example "Make Me Believe" is undeniably imo a very 'commercial' production.

im afraid there is no defending cascada imo, all tht shit is killing dance music. a song doesn't need a particularly strong melody either, depending on your point of view. i would agree that a lot of the electro stuff coming out can get very cheesy with all the whistles and bleeps. as for tech-trance, i dont really understand how it is cheesy?

anjuna boring sound

I really rate him as a producer, producer of the year for me in fact. One of few guys who's records I can pick up without even bothering to listen first. Some might say predictable, but for me I'd say reliable in this case. Very talented guy...
