Daniel / Dieze

Springing some strange heat on you with Parastraño 🦤🔥 Been doing some sets at Birdcage showcasing solely stranger sounds, barring genres. Tryna put the disco in discomfort and removing the comfy from the confines (??) Seriously lacking in the promo department, I'll be catching up by sharing some of the previous editions I did. The first edition featured a challenge: don't just stay in one freaky lane, but try to lean into the eclectic side of set-building. Have a look if you care to! #1 Strange Heat @ Boka Kokolishi #2 Blawan - NOS -> Atrice & Shalt - Derailed #3 Atrice & Shalt - Derailed -> Gesloten Cirkel - Balls #4 Richard H Kirk - Never Lose Your Shadow (Kiti808 Edit) -> Tiga - IAMWHATIAM #5 Kneecap - Thart Agus Thart -> The Otogibanashi’s - Department #6 Onoe Caponoe - Pet Cemetery -> DJ Overdose - All About The Girls #7 tracklist Link in bio - keep watch for the next editions 🪺👀

Hi 🫵🤓 Did a lil' stand-in set at @birdcageradio a month ago which came out nicely. Tried to switch up things by building up from 80 to 130 BPM, meandering through various moods with some slightly experimental sidesteps. Some snippets here, full thing in bio, cheers! ✌️

⚠️ 🏚️ Ghettotech alert 📺 🦅 This ol' feller left his USB's at home for the third edition of Parastraño 👴 set goes from the usual weird bassy stuff, via electro, to an hour of ghettohouse/techno/etc - see link in bio if you dig the clips. And what good is a Parastraño set if it doesn't end with a remix of Everything In It's Right Place, Baltimore Club edition this time ❤️‍🔥

⚠️ WARNING - BLATANT PLAGIARISM COMING STR8 FROM THE VAULT - PARASTRAÑO #2 ⚠️ When I make a mix and I think it’s okay, I’m open and I’ll say it’s okay. If a mix is bad, I’m honest and I’ll say it’s bad. I think this mix is really prima, so I’m gonna say it’s prima. It’s a well-guarded public secret that @tiga (especially his MY NAME IS TIGA radio series) have been a massive inspiration to my airtime at @birdcageradio , both in terms of braving the mic as well as musically. Although I’ll leave the snarky speaking parts to the SAGE-series and I only played a few of his tracks, his influence ran deep in this set. In this world exclusive second edition of Parastraño, praise goes further than it probably should. If you’re up for an eclectic bassy techlectro adventure, check the link in bio! The set builds towards ghettoesque antics, as a sneak peak to the next episode of Parastraño. #1 AI-reconstruction of me under Tiga’s influence in days of yore #2 Gesloten Cirkel - Brasil -> The Hacker & Gesaffelstein - Crainte #3 “ -> Maelstrom - The Line #4 Bandshell - Rise' Em -> Pangaea - Hex (+ mouse spotted 🐭) #5 Pangaea - Skips Desk -> Martyn - Viper #6 Errorsmith - Lightspeed (Bjarki Pandemix) -> Nyra - Rexperiance #7 Josi Devil - M.e.S (ft Tsvi) -> THELMA & u.r.trax - She’s a Baddie (u.r.trax Remix) #8 “ -> DJ Problems - smokers #9 Ma Sha - Spiralizing -> Diplo, Project Pat & Juicy J - Flashlight #10 Tracklist PS: party smoking is no longer part of my skincare routine and I hereby officially disavow any and all corporate carcinogenic consumables 💅

“If you’ve ever wandered into the Birdcage Radio studio and thought, “Huh, this sounds rather funky… but in a good way”, there’s a fair chance Daniel had something to do with it. Born in Utrecht, raised across the river in ‘Culifornia’, and now firmly back in the Domstad, Daniel’s journey spans electro house playlists on WinAmp, dusty vinyl sessions, genre-hopping radio shows and a deep love for the odd, the groovy and the slightly left of centre. In the last Spotlight for 2025, we talk DJ beginnings, overcoming fear, organising chaos, and why staying true to your own taste still matters. You can check out the full interview now on the Birdie Blog!” #birdcageradio #birdieblog #communityradio #interview #spotlight

lil' set from last month at @reveal.utrecht is up! Leaned into the Disco Fetish sound with some Proto / West Coast / Wavey / w/e stuff going on. If you're into that, link in bio :-) thanks for the invite @dj_rimini_express

Unfortunately our beloved Dynamic D can’t make it this round. But we won’t be without sparkle because Dieze is stepping in ✨ A chameleon at heart. Someone who wanders through dance music with an open ear and a playful sense of curiosity. As co-programmer at our radio neighbours @birdcageradio , he lets his diversity speak for itself by connecting unexpected threads, letting different genres merge, building scenes that feel both intimate and wide open. His own show has the same space of exploration. What started as a deep dive into overlooked micro-scenes shaped his approach as a DJ: informed, respectful, warm, genre-fluid and nerdy in the best possible way (you know we love that at REVEAL🖤) Selections made for dancers who enjoy stepping over the edge, into the shimmering unknown. West Coast pulses? Italo dreams? New wave influences? Proto-house tensions? We have no idea what will unfold on Sunday, but we can’t wait to find out. How about you? Step by or tune in through our channel on Intergalactic FM. (DM for location) REVEAL x DISCO x DIEZE 9/Nov 18:00-19:00

For the 67th edition of the Set the Mood series we welcome Dieze. With this mix he shares his vision of what a true opening set should be. To him, it is a journey that starts calm, warm, and inviting before gradually moving into deeper and more grooving sounds. Sometimes even solemn yet always engaging, the key is to evolve without becoming too intense, a balance he feels is just as important in the beginning as it is in the later moments ✨ Known for exploring electro, dub, garage, and bass, with earlier roots in house, italo, techno, and ambient, Dieze brings together a wide palette of influences. For this set he chose tracks he had been longing to play but could never quite fit into other performances. The result is a carefully crafted selection that embodies his idea of an opening journey, one that he hopes will truly resonate with listeners 💿 Enjoy! @sklasi.dj Team Oefenmeesters 📷 @donna_v.dijk Link & tracklist in bio. #setthemood #oefenmeesters #techno #dieze

Last april, SAGE had its latest Snob-Adjacent Genre Exploration - together with KLNKRS, in episode 8 of SAGE, we dove into LA Beats and Trip-Hop, thus concluding one year of SAGE 🌱 Check out the episode via my bio! It's been a bit quiet on the snobby end otherwise - been gathering magisterial intel and diving into pompous pigeonholes, to really charge up the self-righteous registers for a possible season 2 at Birdcage's new studio... Are you feeling rather Snob-Adjacent about a certain genre? Let's get in touch! 🧙‍♂️🧙✨
