At the age of 23, Austrian based producer Daniel Heatcliff comes up with a long discography on commercial club tunes. In 2007 he decided to focus his production skills on his favourite genres only: Trance, House & Electro - starting with a huge release on Fenology Records together with his friend TOM H under the pseudonym "Tom Daynes". The first track "breathe" was played by no others than Paul van Dyk, Above & Beyond, Matt Darey and many more. In early 2007 Dan teamed up with Austria's Trance DJ Nr. 1 DJ Observer which resulted in Interference / Hold On. Bundled with a massive Ali Wilson Remix it found it's way into nearly all the top trance DJ's playlists. 2007's worldwide number one DJ Armin van Buuren supported the track in his radio show A State of Trance as well as Judge Jules (played it in his BBC Radio 1 Show twice !), Markus Schulz (support on Global DJ Broadcast), Marco V, Menno de Jong, Matt Darey, Agnelli & Nelson, The Flash Brothers and many, many more. In summer 2007 Observer & Dan decided to create their own musical platform including a digital label - Navida Music was born. The first release on Navida Records - the label itself - soon followed: DJ Observer ft. Irisa Lane - Sunrise Reloaded was both co-written and co-produced by Mr. Heatcliff and again got massive support by well known Jocks such as Markus Schulz, Andy Moor, Gareth Emery and many more. World renowned DJ Magazine marked this tune as "Austria's breakthrough into the European trance landscape", rating it 5/5! Apart from his own (co-)productions Daniel had the honour to do remixes on tracks from Gareth Emery (voted world's number 31 dj) and Amnesia Ibiza resident Brian Cross. While Dan and Obsi's Remix for Gareth Emery's "More than anything" found it's way to Judge Jules BBC Radio 1 show once again, their remix for "Brian Cross - Sunny Rain" was released on Robbie Rivera's Juicy Music ! For 2008 two co-produced releases are already scheduled as well as his long-awaited solo debut, for which American songwriter Alexander Perls (PvD's White Lies, ...) provided the vocals. Let's see what tomorrow brings...
