Russian born producer, songwriter and pianist Danya Vodovoz started his career in Germany after beeing heavily affected by electronic music 1997.
In search of new ideas and sound he quit his classical studies. For seeing music as a whole made it impossible for him to draw the line at any particular style.
Discovering the possibilities of the synthesizer and sampler  gave his life a new turn. he began to synthesize and sample all kinds of music and styles and to melt them together, while seeking to find his own mixture in the Digital Anolog Microcosm.
His sence for arrangement and sound made him produce a multitude of sampling Cd`s/Dvd`s for Ueberschall (Nouvelle Series). From 2001 - 2005 he collaboerated closely with Mousse T. and Cuban singer/songwriter Raul Paz. After years of writing and producing  for other artists and DJ`s ( Mousse T.- Ferry Ultra - Raul Paz ), he took his time for his first solo project named Vodovoz.
His Musical approach and wide range of ideas and influences came together to a warm, deep and balanced mix. 2007 he remixed 4Hero`s single Morningchild ( Danya Vodovoz Midnight Mix ) alongside Massive Attack.

Night Drive Music - Vodovoz "Serotonin" EP Supported by Laurent Garnier, Fabrice Lig,  Pawas, Solomun and many others Vodovoz gives us his own way of music, melting  different styles, great ideas and nice influences to a beautifull Ep!

"Transmitter",
is the  first track on the Ep. starting of with a nicely deep Bass. At first impression this track feels like Deep House, fitting really well in DJ sets for the dancefoor.

"Serotonin" startung slowly but surely with a very nice feel. after the break the track goes on in a trippy and exciting way

"Hottub" seems to be a Tech House track with a cool groove, nice vocal and bass parts. It seems there are lots of instruments featured on this really good track between Minimal and Tech House ...with a Jazzy flavour.

 "Mantra"  -
unfortunately the last track on the vinyl - is taking its time to introduce the melody and effects that build the rythmic shape, becoming deeper and groovyer as the track evolves - somewhere between Minimal and Deep Techno.
