Tracklist & Interview

Recognise 081: Wata Igarashi

Two years after releasing his monumental full-length album ::BLUE::, Danny Daze reopens the portal with a similarly inspiring remix LP comprised of 21 mind-bending reinterpretations. Across an interstellar lineup that stretches from techno futurists to experimental beatmakers, the project magnifies the scope of the original album while deepening its hypnotic core. 

Few artists in modern electronic music have the multi-genre fluency of Danny Daze. His sprawling 19-track odyssey ::BLUE:: was a reflection of an artist who has spent nearly three decades teleporting club goers between worlds - from the left-field IDM and electro roots of his Miami upbringing in labels like Schematic to the forward-thinking club sounds found on his label Omnidist. Daze expands his sonic universe once again to a new generation of producers, refracting its DNA through a diverse collective of voices. 

The remix album reads like a map of Daze’s extended orbit, reflecting the world around Omnidisc and the broader network that has grown with it. Label veterans Vril and Ruxpin deliver standout performances, while heavyweights Daniel Avery and Machinedrum push the sonic boundaries. 

Daze has used Omnidisc as a platform to usher in a new crop of Miami talent, evidenced in “Silver Box” - the collaboration on ::BLUE:: with Nick León and Jonny From Space. Jonny’s latest endeavor in Crespi Drum Syndicate showcases a menacing percussive workout - a theme found across other remixes from Miami artists Coffintexts, Greg Beato, and Roiju. 

This remix album introduces fresh faces to the Omnidisc roster, with a star-studded international lineup with talent that spans from Mexico City to Amsterdam. Nadia Struiwigh, Paurro, Reptant, Tim Reaper, and Tristan Arp cover the kaleidoscope of sounds from downtempo dreams to frenetic 160+ energy. Other standouts come from Black Rave Culture and Dengue Dengue Dengue. 

This range mirrors Daze’s own approach as a DJ, where eight-hour marathon sets often move seamlessly from electro and Miami Bass through techno and left-tempo studies without breaking the narrative. Recent plays in Detroit alongside Octave One, New York City with Gene On Earth, and Lentekabinet with Identified Patient continue to underline that versatility — the kind of programming that connects dance-floor hypnosis with cerebral listening. 

With this remix LP, Omnidisc once again acts as both a label and a meeting point for creative dialogue... a reflection of the Miami scene’s evolving voice and Daze’s continued commitment to pushing it outward.
