Following recent EP releases from Cristian Vogel and Theiz, EPM continue their 25th year with another longtime collaborator, Belgium based Dany Rodriguez. Whilst focusing his time on the LINK Festival and his own LINK Audio label, Dany has become a versatile producer of note, switching from electro to techno and electronica to house with ease. On the album New Departure EPM collates a selection of his releases on LINK Audio, some only ever on limited vinyl, with a few unreleased tracks to showcase his studio mastery. Born in the early 80s in Liege, in the Retinne neighbourhood, Dany Rodriguez grew up in a Spanish-rooted family, surrounded by music from an early age thanks to his father, a guitarist, and the regular band rehearsals that filled the home. In the early 2000s, Sammy Goossens (half of CYRK) introduced him to Gregory Lacour (Audiopolis), leading to his first vinyl release on his own Destination label. Many collaborations followed, notably with David Carretta, Plastic de Reve, The Neon Electronics and The Hacker. He has since released music on respected labels such as Kombination Research, Bulletdodge, EPM Music, MB Elektronics and Materia, and performed in legendary clubs like Tresor (Berlin) and Fuse (Brussels), where he has been invited numerous times. His name has appeared on line-ups at major international festivals and venues such as BPM (Mexico), Sonar (Barcelona), Nature One (Mainstage), and Privilege in Ibiza. He has also played in Colombia, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Croatia, Czech Republic, Ibiza and many other countries. Today, Dany Rodriguez devotes himself fully to his projects LINK (event/festival) and LINK Audio (label), driven by a commitment to champion authentic music - culturally rich and free from superficial popularity. For him, music is above all a cultural and unifying act, a tool for empowerment and inspiration for both todays audience and future generations. This album represents the colours that resonate with most with Dany. It is an exploration of sound where emotion, texture and intention come together to form a coherent yet evolving journey. The idea was to bring something unexpected to the listener, productions that follow a particular direction while remaining accessible and enjoyable. Each track carries its own identity but always with a clear and positive message at its core. Musically, the album moves between electronica and electro, blending subtle atmospheres with more direct, rhythmic elements. There is also a conscious effort to preserve an authentic touch, something raw and sincere allowing the music to feel human, grounded and honest. The album is preceded by the single R3d Moon and is released on 15 May via EPM Music. Dany is currently working on new productions for EPM Music (alongside Oliver Way), Laurent Garniers COD3 QR and his own label, LINK Audio.
