Daniel Haaksman in Kuala Lumpur

Few individuals can claim to have done so much for musical exchange across the globe as Berlin based DJ, producer, journalist and label boss Daniel Haaksman. With the release of his 2004 compilation "Rio Baile Funk Favela Booty Beats" he introduced the sound of Rio's favelas for the first time to a global audience.

Daniel's own musical output includes various EP releases plus dozens of smashing, official remixes for artists such as Gotan Project, Waldemar Bastos, Lord Nelson and Scottie B amongst others. As a DJ, he has traveled the world and played countless clubs, festivals and events, including Hollywood wedding parties to gunman patrolled ghetto- jams. His party friendly mix of baile funk, house, trap, bubbling, kuduro and everything in between has excited audiences everywhere. Daniel knows no musical rules, except for one: A DJ has to rock the party.

This half party - half global bass education is brought to you by Public School KL and Redbox Asia, and supported by Goethe-Institut Malaysia. Daniel Haaksman will be supported by local heroes Renry Hollins and CEE, and the night of quality music will only cost you RM30!
