KARANYI
Dani Karanyi was born in Budapest in 1982, Hungary. Hi learnt classical piano for over 6 years, and he loved the early progressive rock bands like Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Jetro Tull. After a while he begun to make own music on his first computer and he made a lot of experimental track. When he was 18 he went to Underground Records and one year later they relased his first album called:
OKTOGON - the 1st album
The first album was a fusion of classical, jazz and electronical music and Dani beacome famous by 'Dallam'. Many remixers (Paul Rogers, Fandora, Easy Life Natural, Mannel, Pluto Project, Banyek) made remixes for this song and relased on many complination discs around Europe - like in France, German, Brittan, Holland, Greece, and Italy.
Dani also worked with other artist in Hungary and abroad - like Addie Brik (singer from the early Red Hot Chilli Peppers), co-produced a hungarian pop band (Ízis - Sony Music), written film score ('A Valóság' - Independent), made videogame music and effects ('Sir Atrhur') and composed music for a play.
ROAD TO HOME / HAZAÚT - EP & video
In april 2004 he changed publisher and he went to CLS Records. He made his first EP called Road to Home (in hungarian 'Hazaút'). The new material is much different like before: more popular, more exciting then ever. This is the first only-on-internet EP in Hungary.
Many artists made their remixes for Road To Home like Szakos Krisztián, Andrewboy, AudioToolz, Zoohacker és Ch.i.p.
The Road To Home video is different too like most of the hungarian videos. It's a fully 3D designed action video.

DIGITAL DIGITAL - the 2nd album
The second album - called DIGITAL DIGITAL relased in november 2004. Many new artists collaborated on this album, like the vocalist Keszthelyi Virág, the American Chris Alexander (ex-Warpigs), Judie Jay, MC Jammin', MC Columbo, and others.
The second album is more exicting like before. Most of the tracks are faster, stronger and popular ispirated by uk garage, breakbeat and classical music.
You Delight / Álomszép - EP & video
An other track from the album has been relased in 2005 summer. English version called 'You Delight' - vocals by Chris Alexander, and the hungarian version called 'Álomszép' - vocals by Eszter Lukács.
