Danny Casseau joined Big Time International in September 1993 with his first TRAX-X-release on Reload: Molecule 66. But before it came to this, Danny had came a long way.... In 1983 Danny was into new wave and punk music, but he soon got interested in industrial dance music. He started experimenting with a 2 track recorder, recording all sorts of sounds at metrostations and in the city traffic jams. He also experimented with atmospheric percussion sounds and industrial noises like recording drills and diggers. He started combining these sounds with his first drum machine (as many as 4 sounds available!). He also bought his first guitar and a drumkit and got into speed metal & rap music. The least you can say is that the young Danny Casseau could draw from a wide range of musical styles... During the period 1987-1988 Danny's life was thoroughly changed by the Acidhouse -craze. He bought his first sampling machine (memory: 1 second!) and started to experiment with dance music soon buying newer & more professional equipment. In 1992 Danny worked with Pure Dance, releasing his first record the now classic Slam Trax, he also started recording for Bonzai Records. In 1993 he joined Big Time International, becoming one of their hardest working artists, he already released a whole string of projects on Reload (Trax-X, Atom-X) as well as on Nitric and 21st Century. A track from Atom-X's Proton 99 e.p. was also used for the publicity for Party Zone on MTV that was played several times a day! In the meantime, Danny has moved into progressive and minimalistic acid and techno. Danny also started working for Frank Van Brussel (manager of Future Frontier, Subsounds, Minimalistix, Future Galactic) under the name of Dj Argonic: lots of releases followed. Recently, Danny started releasing under his real name Danny Casseau to avoid confusion with all those other projects. The days of Punk are far away now... and after several years of producing for numerous labels, Danny Casseau joined forces with Dj Chich in deciding that it was time to found their own label "Blackpitchmusic".
