Daniel Marcel Hevesi has been addicted to absorbing and creating abstract art since early adulthood. As Cosmic Xplorer he paints with sound in a way that leaves you spellbound. Rather than looking up at his performance, you cannot help but gaze out to the stars, lost amongst the infinity of his hypnotic grooves and entranced by his meticulously crafted synths. The music he makes and plays is for mind, body and soul. Every single detail of it is carefully analysed so as to convey maximum purpose and feeling as he explores the as yet unknown fringes of techno. Hevesi grew up listening to true school techno pioneers such as Chris Liebing, Speedy J and Jeff Mills - while also appreciating house and progressive - but initially made drum & bass in the late nineties. After some success and radio plays, a devastating PC malfunction and new circle of friends at college in Budapest meant he focussed on other things. He became a telecoms engineer, living in Australia, Africa, North East Asia and North America before returning to Budapest in 2011. In the years after, he established his radio show, Late Night City Stories, which ran for eighteen months and won him the attention of a promoter at Düsseldorf’s Rheingold Club, who invited him to play his parties there.
