His first "big" track "Disco 3000" was released on Munich D based label Kosmo in 1998. Since then he has gone on to release many records including the stand out "Break 4 Love", "Whats My Name" and "Stairs". From 1996 to 2005 Dani released several DJ Mix CDS in Switzerland and completed acclaimed remixes for artists like Moby, Tom Novy, Sonique, Alex Metric and many more. In 2005 he released a best of DJ Mix called "Fahrenheit 40/25" for Universal Music that looks back at the electronic music that influenced and inspired him. In 2006 Koenig signed for Bristol UK based label Four:Twenty Recordings and released "Hard Southamericans" including remixes by "Global Player" Loco Dice.
