Over the last decade, I’ve turned my side hustle into an international DJ career, which has allowed me to connect with incredible people and unlock amazing opportunities I couldn’t have imagined before.
In 2011, I began performing under the alias 
Daniel Lesden
In 2015, I started helping John 00 Fleming run his record label 
JOOF Recordings
In 2017, I created Psytrance Guide
In 2023, I joined 
Beatport
That year I also obtained a 
Global Talent visa
In 2024, after months of self-reflection and journaling in attempts to find my purpose in life, I realised that my true power isn’t a musical talent, but the ability to learn new things, distil them through my own experience, and share them with others in an organised manner.
From curating music to writing a hundred articles and creating courses, learning, distilling, and sharing is something I’ve been doing throughout my whole life without even realising it.
With that in mind, I started a 
YouTube channel
I also love writing, and I’ve been sharing my thoughts and advice on the blog which thousands of its readers find helpful. If you’re new here, I’d suggest checking out some of my favourite posts below to get started:
I run a Patreon page that offers exclusive episodes of the ’Ask Me Anything’ series, Rave Podcast in the highest audio quality, access to our community chat, my entire music archive, and more perks.
If you find my contributions valuable to you and the world, I would greatly appreciate your support on Patreon. Your backing means a lot to me.
