William Daniel Presents Fu2ra - Machine Language [Damaged Records]

AKA - William Daniel

William Daniel’s passion for electronic music began at a young age, growing up in Scotland during the golden era of trance, techno, and house. His first exposure to underground music came through pirate radio, where he discovered the raw energy of unfiltered club sounds. Listening to these illicit broadcasts fueled his desire to become a DJ, and before long, he was making his own mixes and experimenting with turntables.

In his teenage years, William became involved in pirate radio himself, broadcasting underground dance music to local audiences. These early experiences sharpened his skills in track selection, blending genres, and understanding the energy of a set - skills that would later define his career. His dedication and natural talent behind the decks quickly led him into Scotland’s club scene, setting him on a path to becoming one of the country’s most respected DJs.

William’s career took off when he secured residencies at some of Scotland’s most iconic club nights, including Colours, Inside Out, and Freefall at the legendary Arches nightclub in Glasgow. The Arches was a cornerstone of UK clubbing, hosting world-class DJs and unforgettable nights. His ability to craft euphoric, high-energy sets made him a key figure in the club’s history, earning him a dedicated following.

His deep connection with The Arches lives on through his DJ sets and Forgotten Moments mix series, where he curates nostalgic sets featuring the classic tracks that defined the club’s golden era. These mixes have resonated with fans worldwide, keeping the spirit of the venue alive.

Beyond DJing, William has played a crucial role in the music industry through his work at 23rd Precinct Music, one of Scotland’s most respected independent music publishers and record stores. His experience at 23rd Precinct allowed him to gain deep industry insight, working alongside established artists, discovering emerging talent, and helping shape the trajectory of electronic music in the UK.

His work in A&R, label management, and music publishing at 23rd Precinct strengthened his influence in the scene, giving him a unique perspective on both the creative and business sides of the industry. Through this role, he contributed to the success of various artists and helped curate some of the best music releases in the dance genre.

In addition to his DJing and industry work, William has made significant contributions as a music journalist, writing for M8 Magazine and Beatsmedia.

His work in journalism further solidified his industry expertise and credibility, allowing him to connect with both fans and professionals on a deeper level.

One of William’s recent standout achievements was his involvement in Vinyl Fantasy, a special event held at SWG3, one of Glasgow’s most renowned club venues. This sold-out show was a celebration of classic vinyl DJing, bringing together old-school energy with a modern audience.

As a passionate advocate for vinyl culture, William’s set at Vinyl Fantasy was a masterclass in mixing, track selection, and crowd connection, taking clubbers on a nostalgic journey through some of the most iconic records in dance music history. The event’s overwhelming success further cemented his reputation as a DJ who understands the essence of club culture and knows how to deliver a truly unforgettable experience.

Throughout his career, William has shared the stage with global dance music icons, including Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, and Marco V. His ability to blend uplifting trance, driving techno, and progressive house has made him a standout performer in the UK clubbing scene.

In addition to DJing, William has worked as a promoter, label manager, and journalist, using his extensive knowledge to support the dance music industry from multiple angles. His passion for electronic music extends beyond performance - he has played a key role in fostering talent, curating events, and keeping the clubbing culture thriving.

William’s DJing style is a fusion of classic and contemporary electronic music, with a strong influence from the golden age of trance and progressive house. Whether performing at a packed festival or an intimate club, he brings unmatched energy and connection to his audience, creating unforgettable experiences on the dance floor.
