Background: Hailing from the flatlands of Dordrecht, Southern Holland, Daniel Wanrooy has been influencing the playlists of some of the world's top DJs for over 6 years. Both as one half of highly-lauded duos Progression & Odyssee and as a standalone artist, his evocative, imaginative music has successfully cross-bred virtually every sub-genre of trance.

Progression & Odyssee PT 1: 2004 though proved to be Daniel's big, graduating year as he banded together with fellow friend & producer Robin van de Wiel. Pooling resources as well as knowledge they released several tracks before launching a second act under the name Progression. Touting around various Dutch labels, they were snapped up by Fundamental Recordings. The 12' 'Purify' & 'Ocean Green' (2004) were quickly followed by 'Indeep Sounds' & 'Sands of Time' in 2005.

Progression & Odyssee PT 2: It was around this time that Daniel flew unmistakably onto the radar of über trance talent-spotter Tiësto. Over the last three years, the luminary's has used an unprecedented 4 tracks of Daniel's work on his mega-selling 'In Search of Sunrise' series. In 2005 Odyssee moved over to Blackhole with the pair licensing the double-header 'Frontline' & 'Evolution'. In tandem, they also moved Progression over its sub-label I.T.W.T. (In Trance We Trust) with 'Superstitious' and subsequently onto Magik Muzik for 'Technophobia' & 'Loving Memories' in 06.

Progression - The Album: Staying true to the act's name (and completing the circuit of Tiësto's labels) Progression unleashed their debut long-player 'Different Day, Different Light' in 07 on Blackhole. Marked up by MTV as 'two hours of fascinating music', it received a huge reception from press and DJs alike.

Daniel Wanrooy - the DJ: A wish to see his tracks working from the perspective of the DJ booth along with a desire to travel the globe prompted Daniel to take the DJing plunge in 2003. Signed onto the books of the Global Twist Music agency, DJ dates have given him an invaluable POV, increasing his knowledge of how to make his music even more floor-effective. He has subsequently warmed up for Tiësto, spun at the legendary Heineken Hall in Amsterdam & played to 15,000 strong crowds across Europe. He now DJ's regularly in the UK, as well as dates right across the world.

The Future: Into 2008 Daniel is continuing work under both his collaboration monikers as well as laying the ground for his first solo album
