About the release:
With Dani Corbalan we anounce another high talented and ambitious artist on Dirty Cat Records. He mixes skilful Electro with House and somewhere in melodies you can hear his Trance past. He knows how to build up a song, how to play with the crowd on the dancefloor. 'Back from the depths' is a many-faceted, auspicious ep with tracks from House, Electro-House and Chillout. Dani Corbalan arrives to surprise you again and again and so we are very curious for his next surprising release on Dirty Cat Records.


About the artist:
Dani Corbalan started to compose music when he was 11. With Impulse Tracker, he did around 100 songs in that period. In 1997, with 13 years, he won a spanish MODs contest, with his song "Dreams of Life", a relaxing song with amazing flute melody. In 1998 he published his first disc with Up Tempo, a Hardcore label, called TEMPORIUM. One of the songs, The Slave, were published in a famous catalonian club compilation, XQUE. In 2000, he started to use Cubase, Reason and other stuff, to make more quality music. In that period and until 2008 he did around 50 songs, with no luck, but he knows why: he was composing music without watching other artists, he was doing his own structure, and wasn't too much comercial. From 2008 to 2010 he stopped composing because of that, but in 2010 he started again, with more quality, and listening to other artists. Now he tries to do music specially for club. His prefered styles are Trance and Uplifting Trance, but he likes to mix that with House, Progressive and Minimal. He loves guitars, pianos and strings, he always tries to create melodies that makes you feel things, that makes you remember that song, not just another comercial song. In almost all his songs he always tries to make first and last minute for mixing it easy, that's very important for me cause I've been DJ too some time.

You know you are hearing a great release when out of all the crap you get, your ears start paying attention and you make sure to remember the name of the track. Great work on Guivosa!

Not sure I'd call it Progressive but Guivosa isn't bad at all - nicks a lot of radio Killer, twist of funky guitar and boom!

„Back From the Depths" by Dani Corbalan is a very well-produced release, with great mixing/mastering on all tracks. "Guivosa" has a classic house vibe. Excellent builds and pacing on "Zombie," very DJ-friendly. "Don't Break It" could easily fit in DJ sets in multiple genres, from Goth/EBM clubs to deep techno late-night sessions. Ending with a surprisingly mellow treat, "To My Dad" is a highlight for me. It is a beautiful closing piece. It really showcases the variety of influences informing Dani's music, and shows a level of proficiency in different realms of electronica.

Guivosa is hot! love the saxo and the guitars with the vocals. Very nice combination with good rhythm. Will support.

Phil England (The Mansion Project - Wales)
Highly intelligent stuff. Really enjoyed the listen throughout. 'To MY dad' is lush. Makes me wanna be an ambient trance DJ! 'Guivosa' is really infectious, good fun, and well produced. Will support in my commercial dance sets.

LOVE "Guivosa" for its groovy downbeat vibe and "Dont break it"....ominous!!!

Daniel Dreßler (Amusio.com)
Very cool. Gentle trancy. Minimal and still lofty. I like it very much. Especially Don’t break it. New discovery.
