Dao is a partner, father, social worker, artist, producer, nightclub entertainer and proud owner of 14 signed Regis records.

He studied fine art at the renowned art academy in Düsseldorf and became its primary party maker from 2012 to 2018. After his graduation show "Daohaus", a glorious 7 day long escapade, he moved to Berlin to live a life of enjoyment and to become a Platinum ranked Rocket League Player. 

This mix is a testament to his bi-weekly residency from 2022 at the scandalous nightclub KitKatClub - a blend of certified tunes that inspire kink and play and that encourage the dancer to wear their heart on their sleeve.

Right now Dao is recording bleeps and bloops for his sixth release as nymph.on.long.american.legs@gmail.com, which is to appear on his label Monica Europe - an outlet for his audio work that explores isolationism, escapism, existentialism, neoliberalism, racism and sexism.

Enjoy his set and spread the word 🤎
