Connecting Souls 106 on Proton Radio with Daria Fomina as my guest!

Everyone in our scene knows Daria Fomina and we met years ago at the Amsterdam Dance Event. When I checked my guest list from Connecting Souls I was surprised that Daria wasn't there. So here she is finally as my guest.

Daria Fomina was born in Moscow region. She graduated from music school as a teenager in piano class and her musical inspiration in electronic music who shaped her musical taste DJs and music projects such as Robert Miles, Radiohead, Enigma, Massive Attack, Prodigy, André Tanneberger, Tiësto, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Sasha, Deep Dish, Pole Folder, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sébastien Léger, Guy J and others. In the beginning, she played on several radio stations of different geographical locations and hosted several exclusive podcasts. At the moment,

Daria is a resident of the Frisky Radio (US), where she hosts a two-hour podcast where she invites unique, talented DJs and music producers on her show Oxygen and on DI.FM Progressive Channel (US), Subcode Radio (UK) and DNA Radio FM (AR) where she hosts her one-hour show Purple Sky. Daria has played on Amsterdam Dance Events, Burning Man Project, Hungary and other dance venues in Moscow and Russian cities.
On April 21, 2021, her first remix on the label DROID9 was released, and it was quite successful and got into the rating of Release Promo - Hype Chart Essentials Week 16 on the Beatport, and also stayed in the top 100 Progressive House Release for a long time. But she's aiming for a more better sound, so she's not releasing anything at the moment.

She was the curator LIA Series project, which Amber Long founded in December 2021. So Daria has been inviting organizing podcasts for female musical artists and DJs from all over the world to participate in the project for a long time, so she got involved in the project more than 30 women. Her sounds in mixes are filled with deep and melodic progressive house combined with melodic techno, tech house, deep house, organic house and adding different shades of electronic music.

Connecting Souls 106 on Proton Radio guest Daria Fomina

Inspired by the first mixing programs on the Dutch radio, Clement van Dijk started mixing in the early 80’s. Being the music obsessive that he is, it didn’t take him very long to find a local club (Display) to showcase his skills. After doing so for a couple of years the promoters of Arnhems hottest dance club; Luxor, offered him a monthly residency on the Stargate party's. This gave Clay the opportunity to play alongside almost every well-known deejay in Holland, and in countries like, Hungary, Mexico, Germany, England, Greece and others... 

This quietly-spoken DJ from Amsterdam has always understood what made people dance, but never compromised his vision of what good music should be like. By continuously following his favorite waxmasters, like John Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo, he developed his love for progressive house music. And now as a big fan of producers like, Guy J, Alex O'Rion, Marcelo Vasami, Matias Chilano, Matter, GMJ and many more....

His style reaches from proggy house with some of the most beautiful strings and vocals you are likely to hear unto deep and dark progressive. He combines deep house, progressive and melodic techno into a hypnotic and intense DJ set. His specialty is creating an atmosphere wherein the audience will be taken to a different musical level. He will take you on a rare, extraordinary and psychedelic musical trip in to the deep space of the progressive underground.

Every first Friday of the month Clay has his radio show Connecting Souls on Proton Radio. Let this joyful Deejay connect your souls on the dance floor with his magical mix of progressive house, deep house and melodic techno music. Now in these days you can find him as a resident in the best underground club in Amsterdam, The Recycle Lounge Gallery Club, and in the famous hotspot Club NL. Here he is the organizer of the party's 'Connecting Souls' and 'HUG' that stands for Holland Under Ground. So if you’re in the mood for a party, let Clay take you on his musical journey...
