Premiere: DJ Samer Invites Dani Ivory For Latest “Immportal” EP on Pangea Recordings

/in , , /by

Dani Ivory’s biography reads like the stuff that most musicians dream of. There are few artists who can boast playing the planet’s largest gigs and festivals alongside some of the world’s most famous musicians and bands, as Dani Ivory can. In fact, Dani’s vocal skills and ability to perform live on stage in front of tens of thousands of fans earned her band member status with some of the globe’s hottest acts such as Imagine Dragons, Cee Lo Green, and pop superstar BeyoncĂ© to name a few. Dani’s work ethic and hypnotic voice has allowed her to distinguish herself from others in her genre and has allowed her to delve into a very bright looking solo career.

After being introduced to each other by a well-known promoter and spending time together in Los Angeles, Dani took time from her busy schedule to team up with label boss Samer to work on a project that eventually became known as ‘Immortal’, which quite naturally makes its way out on Samer’s label Pangea Recordings. ‘Immortal’ showcases Dani’s ability to work with producers across multiple genres while introducing her fan base to a more progressive approach to dance music through Pangea. Such a package would not be complete without iconic remixers, however.

/in , , /by

Only a few years old, the Pangea Podcast has been creating a following and listener base that is getting larger every day. Staying relevant over the last fifteen years has not been easy given that catchy trends and corny jingles seem to still rule the day, but the ride has been well worth it. I am not even sure if we succeeded at that, quite frankly. Nonetheless, Pangea was and still remains at the forefront of American Progressive House dance music, and the artists highlighted on our anniversary release, Pangea XV, show why.
