ASL365: Do Asian producer get a chance to work with you on you on your label?
Dannic: Everyone is welcome – please listen to the label what kind of music I’m looking for. If I can play it in my set that’s kind of what I’m looking for. If you make your music from the heart I think your song will be unique in it’s own way. I’m looking for a particular sound and how the production is done.
ASL365: You seem to have a strong connection with your fans in Taiwan, do you have anything to say to your Taiwanese fans?
Dannic: I love Taiwan and Taiwanese fans in particular. I’ve been playing there for 4 years now and they sing along to every song. The energy is Taiwan is also on point.
ASL365: How do you manage your time being a producer / DJ to being a record label owner?
It’s quite a heavy season and especially if you have a creative job like me, and sometimes it can be quite tiring but luckily I have a good team around me who can help me whenever I need some extra help. For instance with the Radioshow I select all the tracks myself but I have someone who mixes it for me because that takes a lot of time and of course I do my own talks. I do my own my own social media but I have two managers that do all technical side of things like sound check and the visuals so I can focus making music and playing music for the fans.
