Daniel Steinberg

Having only really started a love affair with House Music properly in the past 3/4 years, and with having a mountain of new music to catch up with from various other genres, it can sometimes be hard for me to keep up with all that is going on in what is probably the most popular Dance Music genre on the planet.

I do try my best to keep up to date with things and now and again find a producer or artist that reaffirms my disappointment in not starting my love affair with the genre earlier, producers like Daniel Steinberg.

I can't really give too much information on Steinberg's history or biography as he seems to be one of those producers who is much more well known on the continent and seems to play his trade on European shores. I can however share the music that has brought me to his attention and incited me to do this post.

Its safe to say that Steinberg's productions have a very unusual quirkyness about them, one production trait of his being his undoubted talent to incorporate strange and wonderful samples and loops from old and obscure records alongside his tight as you like percussion. For an example of what I mean take a listen to his quite simply BRILLIANT track 'Rush Me', sort of a per cursor to the Gramophonedzie style tracks which have become so popular of late.



Again, information on Steinberg is quite hard to find with him being a virtual unknown to most House music heads in the UK who aren't devout trainspotters of the genre, and mixes by him are apparently hard to come by as well, although I did manage to find a set recorded live in January at somewhere named Funkwerk (what country Footwerk is in I couldn't tell you!), which I have made available to download below, be sure to check him out!
