Dan Armstrong

Hailing from the rural setting of Herefordshire in the UK, Dan became a musician at an early age.
Early memories of spending Saturdays in local music shops, playing the instruments of the 70’s & 80’s, developed into a love of music and the associated technology – something that became both a vocation and a passion.
Dan has many styles of interest – predominantly focusing on material that creates an interest or intrigue: be it sounds or music.
This particular venture focuses on his love of Electronic Ambient music. After being introduced to it during the 90’s through close friend (and respected fellow artist) Si Matthews at University, despite moving into a Pop-Music production career with reggae group, UB40, Dan has always been an appreciator of the genre.

Ambient has such a wide range of sub-genres. You can expect to hear a selection of drone, luscious pads, deep rich bass-end, percussion and sweet melodies. Thus the style is quite eclectic.
The sounds used range from the synths of the 70’s through to the latest modern-day equipment. Production and mix-values rank very highly in Dan’s creations.
Dan has many influences, and draws as much inspiration as possible, but artists of note include the Future Sound of London, Global Communication, Biosphere, Aphex Twin, Si Matthews, William Orbit, Speedy J, Sabres of Paradise, Bill Laswell and Chicane are but a few.
