"Today You, Tomorrow Me". It was inspired by a stranger going out of his way to help me carry a wine fridge down the street after seeing me struggle... He said "today you, tomorrow me". Once I got home, I wrote this tune.

Release Notes:
The aural landscape provided by "Today You, Tomorrow Me" is replete with atmospheric context. Emotive images of hope and optimism wend their way through the opener as if travelling down a coruscating mountain road, confronted by a dramatic landscape as the world around converges in a moment of epiphany. Awe-inspiring natural forces then provide a backdrop of mental imagery as rolling waves and white horses translate to musicals equivalents throughout the "7am Mix".

Sieg's mastery provokes contemplation as the jagged beats of "On Your Own" jut out of the aural landscape akin to rocks rising up through an ominous and brooding seascape. Juxtaposed against this are soft and mellifluous melodic patterns that rise and fall in flowing beauty around their beat driven counterparts with effortless ease; waves coalesce and dissipate around the rock edges occasionally crashing into their surface with dramatic impact.

Outwardly innocuous in its opening movement, the "Unique Repeat" remix stands apart. Images of significant portent are summoned as a dramatic bass line matches a foreboding skyline before a crystalline lead line lacerates the audioscape, piercing a barren landscape with driving rain while simultaneously providing a sense of cleansing hope and vibrancy.

Light transforms dark; hope meets expectation.

I'm really happy with this one. I took a darker and deep approach, as my recent inspirations have lead me...

Snatt & Vix vs. In Progress - To The Moon And Back (Dan Sieg Remix)

RELEASE DATE	2013-08-28
LABELS	Mango Alley
CATALOG #	ALLEY032

Release Notes:
Golden sunlight dapples through a leafy canopy, dancing and sparkling on the water below as the ambient aural soundstage provides a natural and enveloping soundtrack to the turning of another season. "We Only See Sun Glare" - the perfect accompaniment to a summer season that imperceptibly drifts into autumnal colours. A supremely serene compilation by Mango Alley captures the very essence of late summer mood.

Eleven musical vignettes beautifully characterise the simultaneous emotions of joy, sadness, love and contemplation. The emotive piano from the album's opening movements, juxtaposed against ticking percussive patterns, conjuring images of nature's pitter-patter rain rhythms on hot pavements. Soft vocal treatments issue proclamations of love against staccato harmonies. Infinite regularity in the tides and the waves they create, pulse before folding back on themselves, dissipating former forceful energies harmlessly against the shoreline. Melodic tranquillity infused after a perfect storm.

Reminiscing with old friends about summers past and present, laughter echoes across the room as snatches of conversation permeate the subconscious like fragments of a familiar tune. Friends and lovers walk hand-in-hand, meandering along a path of familiar places, lost in a private world of sound and vision under a starlight sky and warm evening breeze.

Nostalgia beckons once more, September's here again.

Dan Sieg - Beneath (Original Mix)

This is a little something from over a year ago, which I found in a dusty untitled folder. It started out as an original with the acapella as a placeholder vox, but eventually I started making the entire song to those beautiful vocals.. It goes through a story of sorts and isn't any traditional arrangement. Hope you enjoy as much as I do. ;) _dan

Out of respect for the artists and their label, this will remain streaming only.

The art is something that really inspired as well to finish this. I can't really tell where its from, but obviously credits to the artist!

SILKOS02DS :: Toby Hedges - Images (Dan Sieg 'Dark Images' Remix)

The compilation kicks off with a moody and exceedingly emotive new interpretation of "Images" by American talent Dan Sieg (of Dan & Sam). The Original Mix, a peak-hour cut by British star Toby Hedges, proved to be a widely supported single on Silk Royal. An ominous and richly cinematic soundscape is crafted early on in Dan's rendering, with an extended 2-minute intro. A cavernous bassline enters the affair at the quarter turn, which slowly begins to crescendo (only enhancing the foreboding textures). Meanwhile, the poignant themes of the original add further mystery and intrigue to the evocative atmosphere.

Seawaves return riding the crest of summer waves. Cast upon the breeze in light airy refrain, motifs float and filter with infinite ease. Separated by vast ocean space England and New England unite, connected by the City of Angels.

Clicking percussive beats ring out in warm evening air; footsteps form rhythms on wooden boardwalks and ancient piers, each with unique stories to tell. Wooden benches tell tales of love stretching across generations as soft vocals whisper sweet nothings, safe in the knowledge that love nourishes the soul.

The sound of waves pulsates in musical fashion across a familiar soundscape, interspersed by emotive piano themes carried forward into the distance as the bright carnival lights illuminate a path. Laughter punctures the air, rippling in casual percussive joy and synaesthetic patterns. The world looks small from astronaut eyes, humanity’s fate tied in invisible bonds across the seas.

“Closer to me. I feel closer to you; everyday I awake from your amazing dreams”.

SILKRL046 :: Dan & Sam feat. Maxx Hennard - Walls (Original Mix)

Beatport: http://bit.ly/SILKRL046
iTunes: http://bit.ly/SILKRL046-iTunes

Dan Sieg & Sam Wilkinson, better known as Dan & Sam, dazzled international progressive fans and DJ's alike with their debut effort on our imprint, "Breaking The Illusion". Not only did it receive great international DJ support, but the single also went on to reach #2 on the Beatport Trance releases chart, as well as earn a spot on Max Graham's acclaimed "Cycles 4" compilation [Armada]. Their sophomore effort, "Walls", is another ornate and melodic progressive gem. This time around, they have recruited promising vocal talent Maxx Hennard, whose rich baritone adds a warmth and "sophisticated" sentimentality to the track. The one and only remix in the package comes courtesy of American sensation Shawn Mitiska, whose decorated veteran career includes numerous solo hits, most recently "Salt" [Enhanced]. Supported on countless occasions by Armin Van Buuren, amongst other top international DJ's, Shawn Mitiska has been a truly humbling addition to our label roster this past year, with standout remixes on Schodt's "Heatwave" and Shingo Nakamura's "Whither". His work here, a vocal rendering of "Walls", affirms that he truly possesses a remarkable talent for crafting intelligent and uplifting peak-hour tunes. 

The Original Mix by Dan & Sam kicks off with a lush chord progression, a central motif of the track, and is soon joined by early echoes of Maxx Hennard's stunning vocal. After a quick mini-break, the bassline pulls back slightly, setting the stage brilliantly for Hennard's soulful and evocative verse. The memorable lyrics culminate in the chorus with the line: "The only walls we've got, are the walls we built ourselves". It's a breath-taking moment, augmented by the gorgeous delayed vox and lead synth lines that fill out the soundscape. In the drop, the central groove teasingly returns with just the kick, followed soon thereafter by the arrival of the full rhythm and (chorus hook) in full, anthemic force.

SILKRL044 :: 19 Hz - Another Skin (Dan & Sam Remix)

Beatport: http://bit.ly/SILKRL044
iTunes: http://bit.ly/SILKRL044-iTunes

Silk Royal is excited to welcome back 19 Hz, the Argentinian super duo of Dario Tello (a.k.a. Airdraw) and Rodrigo Deem, with the brand new single "Another Skin". 19 Hz's last release on Silk Royal, the Beatport hit "Round & Round," was voted "Web Vote Winner" on Above & Beyond's "Trance Around The World" and receive a litany of additional support, so we are especially excited to announce their return to our imprint. This single also comes equipped with brilliant new remixes by Dan & Sam and Blood Groove & Kikis.

Dan & Sam, fresh off their breakthrough hit "Breaking The Illusion" (#2 on the Beatport Trance Release chart for over a week), offer the first of two breathtaking interpretations. Hailing from the USA (Dan Sieg) and Australia (Sam Wilkinson), this exciting new duo offers a more upbeat take on the original, as their version jets out of the gate with a clubby kick and gut-busting rhythm. Yet, the emotive spirit of the original is not abandoned: a teaser mini-break early in the track reveals a moving new lead chord progression and arp line, as well as the very welcome inclusion of the original vox samples. The tune continues to pick up steam, leading into the main break, where a gorgeous new piano solo appears. The dancefloor-friendly groove sits below all of these elements in the latter half of the tune, to truly stunning effect.

SILKRMX003 :: Gregory Esayan - Innerspace (Dan & Sam Remix)

iTunes: http://bit.ly/SILKRMX003-iTunes
Beatport: http://bit.ly/SilkRoyal

Silk Royal is thrilled to present Silk Remixed 03, the third installment of the annual series, featuring various veteran talents and rising stars in progressive. Three of the tracks included in the compilation were first "previewed" on April's Silk Royal Showcase 03 compilation, while three others (remixes by Terry Da Libra, Dave Cortex, and eleven.five) are completely new. All six cuts are now available for the first time as full, DJ-friendly versions.

Kicking off the compilation is Dan & Sam's celestially-inspired remix of Gregory Esayan's "Innerspace", which was initially featured as the anthemic opener of Silk Royal Showcase 03 (Part One). This tremendously talented duo, hailing from the USA and Australia, continue to demonstrate their penchant for chunky grooves and "classic" progressive arrangements, including ethereal and truly breathtaking breakdowns.

SILKRL041 :: Dan & Sam - Breaking The Illusion (Original Mix)

Beatport: http://bit.ly/SILKRL041

Silk Royal welcomes Dan & Sam to the imprint for their debut release, "Breaking The Illusion". This incredibly gifted duo consists of Dan Sieg and Sam Wilkinson, who hail from the States and Australia, respectively. On this particular release, Japanese label veteran Shingo Nakamura contributes the sole remix, which is truly as emotive and timeless as the original.

Dan & Sam's Original Mix is a melancholic, yet uplifting progressive trance anthem, which effectively channels the emotional energy required to 'break the illusion' of a previously blissful relationship. It begins with a chunky rhythm and "teaser" guitar pluck, which hints at the incisive theme that is featured in the main break. A powerful low-end energy emerges after the 32-bar intro, soon followed by higher-octave chord layers and subtle piano-based melodic themes. At the quarter turn, an awe-inspiring progression arrives: numerous layers create a deeply moving and haunting theme, upon which the remainder of the song builds. In the subsequent breakdowns, various variations on these themes are introduced, all of which wax and wane in intensity and emotional resonance. The end result is a truly breath-taking slice of progressive - one that has quickly become one of our favorite offerings in Silk Royal's label history.

Dan & Sam - Breaking The Illusion (Original Mix)

怀旧, 懷舊..

I originally wrote this as a lullaby for a girl over a year ago, and over the year it turned into what it is today. There much more to say, but sometimes things are better left imagined. Thanks Michael from Illuminor for the glorious lyrics and vocals, and thank you Silk Music for charming me into releasing some progressive breaks :)


--- SILK --- 
With his debut artist album officially arriving to stores in a fortnight, American sensation Dan Sieg (of Dan & Sam) has undoubtedly emerged as one of the leaders of Silk Royal. A thrilling series of releases by Dan in the proceeding months begins with "No Way Back Up," the first single from his forthcoming "A Sense Of Wonder" artist album. Dan has never shied away from writing emotive vocal anthems; his past Dan & Sam hit "Walls," featuring Maxx Hennard, proved to be one of the most supported singles in the history of our imprint. It is our great joy to present a new collaboration between Dan and Silk veteran duo Illuminor, who not only have been producing trance & progressive hits of their own of late, but who also are capable of writing and performing breathtaking vocals.

In "No Way Back Up," a gentle breakbeat slowly picks up steam, while a variety of bell-tinged hooks and other supporting melodies contribute a lush soundscape. The patient crescendo ultimately culminates into a stunning chorus by Michael Ware of Illuminor, who sings of the tragic dissolution of a relationship. Michael profoundly delivers the metaphor of a fall too painful and far, from which to recover.

American artist Dan Sieg joined Silk Royal in October 2012 with one of the most memorable opening statements in the history of our imprint: the emotive progressive trance anthem "Breaking The Illusion," released under his "Dan & Sam" moniker. Over the last few years, we have had the enormous privilege of witnessing Dan's remarkable evolution as an artist, from his uplifting and lyrically profound vocal hit "Walls" (feat. Maxx Hennard) to his deeper, more introspective remix of Toby Hedges' "Images." His journey has now reached a new plateau with the arrival of his debut artist album: "A Sense Of Wonder." The album features 10 brand new cuts, all of which display Dan's immense artistic range, as well as the sensitivity and depth of feeling that have imbued all of his work to date.

The listener's journey begins with "Iris," which fittingly opened our Silk Royal Showcase #250 live event in San Francisco. A hypnotic arpeggio and distorted background synth provide an unforgettable intro, which is soon followed by a clubby, up-tempo house groove. The title cut appears next, which centers on delicate arps, celestial synth stabs, and a techno-influenced bassline motif. The brooding and pensive "Gloom" initially paints a bleak existential picture, yet ultimately delivers a deeply moving (and hopeful) melodic theme. The fourth cut on the album, "Erko," treats fans to an infectious vocal line from Dan himself, while a progressive house groove and lush melody offer additional aural sustenance. The album's lead single, "No Way Back Up," arrives next and features the sensational Australian duo Illuminor, who have proven themselves to be a formidable threat in both the production and vocal arenas. A breakbeat rhythm eventually crescendoes into a stunning chorus by Michael Ware of Illuminor; the combination of Dan's innovative groove and Michael's poignant vocal performance is truly breathtaking.

The second half of the album begins with "Welcome To The Alley," a sun-kissed, festival-ready anthem in-the-making. The song's psychedelic bassline will tickle your brain and simultaneously compel you to dance. Next in line, "Grace" offers a club-friendly, cavernous bassline and an outer-worldly atmosphere. The subsequent cut, "Wispy," is a slow-burning, after-hours affair, with an equally evocative soundscape. The album's penultimate track, "Techbruary," represents Dan's foray into tech house; it is also reveals the lighthearted and humorous side of his personality. Finally, the trance-influenced "Horizons" brings the album to a glorious conclusion. The numerous melodic layers shine through the track like beams of light, radiating positivity, hope, and a sense of interconnectedness amongst all of us who rely on music to best illustrate the human experience.

Michael Badal & Ellie Lawson – Closer (Dan Sieg Remix)

--- release info ---
Release Tracklist:
01 Dan Sieg - Moonstruck
02 Dan Sieg - Over The Stars

American artist Dan Sieg, whose debut artist album ("A Sense Of Wonder") this past year proved to be a veritable tour de force, has emerged as one of Silk's leading talents. A musician who is constantly pushing the boundaries of various electronic subgenres, Dan awes us with his extraordinary range yet again with the downtempo progressive house EP, "Moonstruck".

The title cut clocks in at a slow-burning 112 BPM, but the intricate rhythm and moody soundscape are expertly crafted from the composition's opening moments. The patient groove slowly crescendoes, as a gorgeous, bell-synth lead progression is woven through the mix. In the breakdown, the main theme opens up and envelops the listener with warm, radiant vibes. One of Dan's most technically brilliant works to date, "Moonstruck" will likely be appreciated most by true audiophiles, as well as fans of deep electronica.

On the B-side, Dan contributes the cosmic "Over The Stars", a more traditional progressive house offering (at 124 BPM). One again, a subterranean groove is met by a delicate, yet strikingly beautiful arp line. The bassline begins to pick up steam, while a few additional midrange layers complete the crescendo of the melodic themes. In the break, a powerful climax evokes an awe-inspiring celestial event.

▼ Album Tracklist:
01 Dan Sieg - To The Sun (Original Mix)
02 Dan Sieg - To The Sun (Downtempo Rework)

American label veteran and versatile producer Dan Sieg returns to Silk Music after his acclaimed "Moonstruck" release. This single, "To The Sun", features a drum & bass original, as well as a downtempo rework.

The Original Mix is introduced by subtle piano strokes, and a prominent and energetic beat enters the mix shortly thereafter. The piano melodies continue to build throughout the track, and lush vocal stems and sound effects spice up the mix even more.

In the Downtempo Rework, calm percussion elements and captivating guitar riffs create a soothing atmosphere. The stunning vocals and refreshing piano notes in the background make this version a unique offering to its energetic counterpart.

Dan Sieg - To The Sun (Original Mix)

Dylan was around while I made a lot of stuff for my last album. Around the time of Gloom and No Way Back Up, I was trying all kinds of kick patterns just because it was exciting and new. So, one day he came with this sick kick pattern that to this day I still can’t follow, and a nice complimentary bass line along with it. It was so interesting that we thought to make a full song of it. We ended up calling it 'Patterns', because of the sweet midi patterns. It's a nice moment where you can get lost in fun syncopation. Hope you enjoy.

Dan Sieg & Dylan Brooks - Patterns (Original Mix)

I don't have much to say about this track other than, have some fun and smile. This was really fun to make, since it started as a mockery of deep house, but ended up really just fun and funny.

Submood / Klunker
Mononoid, Dan Sieg

Reaching out of the Los Angeles skyline into shimmering heat haze, Dan Sieg returns to the familiar surroundings of Mango Alley with "Submood / Klunker". Rhythmic prowess provides a strong foundation as resolute beat frames all and percussive hi-hats draw lines that cross in intricate patterns – the steel girders that bind the city together. A melodic trope flows in "Submood" – repetitive sequencing creates a seemingly simple pattern that replicates itself in ever-evolving patterns; modern architectural design faces out towards the city, its pattern playing tricks of perspective in the consciousness of passers-by. Innovation supplies the mechanical underpinnings of "Klunker" as jagged edges and synth lines that cut like arc-welders into the sonic infrastructure. Creating an auditory collage of multi-faceted texture, beauty emerges in clever manipulation of the audible form.

Dutch precision informs a new perception of "Klunker". Never alone in a sprawling metropolis, Mononoid create a vibrant sonic architecture from a monument of modern art. Refracted colours create synesthesia in aural form as a new rhythmic groundwork provides the basis for an original interpretation to rise out of themes that are the central pillars of Sieg's structure. Intelligently revisited in understated precision, a new direction sees rippling arpeggios spiral in hypnotic patterns, shining like sun reflected across a wall of glass. Consistently referencing the original with care and consideration, Mononoid are Dutch masters of all they survey, their sonic building blocks creating a vision of modernity and dynamism in their precision-engineered work.

Music drifts across the city of angels looking down on steel cathedrals that sparkle and glisten.

01 Dan Sieg - Trip (Extended Mix)

Released: @solarstone's #ILikeItPure Pure Progressive: 06/01/2018
Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/release/trip-extended-mix/2289588

'Emotive keys kick things off, priming a laid back 128bpm arpeggiated-bass and crisp percussion. Electronic layers suggest a journey through an urban landscape, the Kraftwerk-esque motif and subtle portamento counter-melody interplaying delightfully.'

--- release notes --- 
Season's end signifies an explosion of sonic colour as a city steeped in artistic heritage once again plays host to the annual music phenomenon that is "Amsterdam Dance Event 2018".

A third incarnation sees Mango Alley celebrate the camaraderie engendered by a special event, curating a new collection of music that draws the underground dance fraternity together. Sparkling arpeggios and mellifluous motifs twinkle akin to street lights reflected on Amsterdam canals; powerful rasping basslines rumble with menace resembling thunder rolling through the city's clubs and bars. Multi-faceted rhythms and metronomic beats pulse through the lifeblood of a city with electronic music at its core.

Art is ubiquitous across the capital – from the Rijksmuseum to the Stedelijk, a collection of new and established artists join forces to create new works of sonic art that represent the very essence of skill, technique and brilliance. Captured for posterity in a compilation for the ages, Mango Alley is a true grand master.
