The journey started for Danny Powers back in the summer of 1998, his first encounter of proper trance music was coming across the Gatecrasher Black Compilation, the rest as they say ‘is history’. This led him onto buying the next two in the series and really kicked his trance passion into gear. Listening to this style of music while he was 15 seemed weird as it was a break from the chart trash flying around at that time. He instantly got hooked on those riffs.

This then led onto a passion for his first favourite DJ, this being the Dutch trance maestro DJ Tiesto. After buying the DJ Tiesto compilation ‘Revolutions’, this spiralled into him buying the In search of Sunrise comp’s, Magik Journey series and any other Tiesto related Cd’s. Alongside Tiesto he also started listening to the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten and Marco V. All these artists have had effect on him till this present day, whether it to be there productions or DJ sets. He travelled up and down the country following these DJ’s, whether it be Gatecrasher at The Republic or Heaven in London, Passion at the Emporium or Slinky at the Opera House etc ... He soon realised that I wanted one day to be on the other side of the DJ booth.

In the summer of 2007 he started his own label nu-depth recordings with the intention of hopefully one day competing with the big guns. Vandit, Discover, Euphonic, Conspiracy all these labels have been influential to him the last couple of years and their sound is what he's tried to incorporate onto the label, just with a bit added depth!!! Kicking off his project was Mark Eteson & Jon Prior’s ‘Dynamic Stability’; this was backed with a big euphoric Remix from Aly & Fila and a punchy workout from Frase. This released featured on Armin’s ‘A State OF Trance’ show and most recently on Tiesto’s ‘Club Life’ show. Other supporters of the nu-depth sound include John Askew, Jon O’Bir, John O’Callaghan, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Ronski Speed, Matt Darey, Mark Eteson, Activa, MIKE, Kuffdam & Plant, Marcos, Frase and many more.
