Interview with Dany Wild DJ & remixer
COMMOD0RE FREE Please introduce
yourself to our readers
DANNY WILD Hi, I am Dany Wild an
electronic Music Producer and
Commodore freak for the past 27 Years.
CF. Can you tell our readers how you
came across the Commodore brand of
computers?
DW. The C64 was the one and only
Computer for German kids in the 80s, I
received my C64 in 1982.
CF. Do you still own and use a
Commodore machine?
DW. Yes I use my original C64 for some
sound programming and to have fun with
the original Commodore Flavour.
Sometimes I also watch old Demos & play
some Commodore Games.
CF. What is so special about the SID
sound?
DW. He sounds awesome, very precise,
many sided in Sounds, and Sounds very
special!
CF. Are you a professional dj/remixer
i.e. is this your main income?
DW Yes . I create a lot of Club music,
mostly Electro House . My home base
Label is Sugaspin Rec. in Hamburg .I
also create other different Projects
on other international Labels.
CF. What hardware and software is used
for the remix process?
DW Yamaha 02R Studio Digital Mixer,
PC with Logic, some Hardware Synth
Waldorf Q, Yamaha AN1x, NordLead
and as I need some older analog Synth
sounds I use some very good VST Plugs
like the Quadra Synth (very good SID
Emulation), EXS24 with my own Sample
Libary of SID sounds.
CF. Do you just remix SID tunes?
DW No. mostly I Remix other Artists of
the international Club Scene
CF. How do you decide what samples to
use in the remix and which sections of
music to include from the original
composition?
DW Ohhh difficult to decide. I test
so many sounds and parts before I
finally make a choice.
CF. Do you Sample the real SID sounds
to produce the remixes or are the
sections re-played on synthesisers?
DW. I do both.
CF. Your music is very heavily
Compressed, is this a conscious
decision, can you explain compression
to our reader?
DW. Yes absolutely. I love massive
compression! For the same channel I
often use 3 different compressors to
find the right result.
CF. How much commercial success with
any of our remixes?
DW. Success is relative, I dont make
Millions of Euro if thats what you
mean... lol I had some Number one
Positions with my Music in the charts.
CF. Do you create original music of
your own compositions using Commodore
Machines?
DW. No I didn't transform my Club
Tracks to SID.
CF. Do you create SID music files our
user can listen to?
DW. Sorry No I haven't.
CF. Do you have any links to any of
the remixes you have created our
reader can listen to?

CF. What is your favourite piece of
music and what is your favourite SID
file?
DW. I like so much Music and SID Files,
my favourite Club Song this weekend
is If you Love-Jewelz & Meesh and my
all time Favourite SID Music is the
Stuff of Future Freak from Dexion!
yeahhh I love his style & I wonder why
his music isn't well known.
CF. If our reader is musically
inclined what is the best way to start
remixing Commodore SID files?
DW First you need much enthusiasm for
the good old Sounds and Songs! Then you
must know what you want to do with it.
Do you wanna play it with a Guitar or
do you wanna combine it with Trance
Melodies? My way is definitely that I
wanna hear the old SID Sounds and
Melodies in my C= Remixes. I combine
the SID with my Club Style & the result
is that I can play the old SID Songs
with a new flavor at Clubs & Partys.
CF Do you have a website with down-
loaded remixes or even a CD you have
with the remixed files?
DW No, I didn't release my SID remixes
commercial. If someone wants to have it

CF Do you have a list of clubs where
you are due to remix in case our reader
wants to see you live?
DW Different, at the moment I play
as resident DJ in the Gigaparc in
Dlmen Germany
CF How long have you been a Dj/remixer
and have things changed much since you
started?
DW I started work in 1989
CF. Do you think its important to
promote Commodore machines?
Yes, because its better that Commodore
exist as a Computer Company than we say
they are dead and someone uses the Logo
for Coffee machines. Also its good to
see that the new Commodore Company
cares about her history & do something
for it.
CF Some people would argue that you
were using other peoples creativity
for your own gains. Would you like to
comment about this?
DW I think they didn't understand me,
I love the old Tracks & want to keep
the SID/Commodore spirit alive. The
only way to do that is to use the old
Songs & Sounds.
CF. Do you think people look at
Commodore related music and just think
its all for geeks?
DW If you listen the original SID
Tracks, Yes they are geek stuff.
That's why I combine it with fresh
Clubby Beats & Bass. Now the younger
Generation/people accept it & Dance to
it.
CF do you have any final comments you
would like to add
DW Keep the good old Computer Times
alive , Atari, Commodore, Amiga,
Apple, .... whatever.
In good old C= Demo Tradition:
