Music career[edit]
Daniel Lesden has started his music career as a Psytrance producer, but in 2019 he moved forward musically towards Progressive and Techno music.[11]

His second artist album titled '2000 Years Ahead' was the top-selling CD on Psyshop[16] and reached #2 in the Top-100 chart on Beatport[17].
The style change turned into success for Daniel Lesden. The first single he introduced after the shift from Psytrance to Progressive music, 'Breaking From The Shadows', has become the most popular release of JOOF Recordings on Beatport that year[18] and is getting close to 100.000 streams on Spotify[19]

Rave Podcast[edit]
In February 2011, Daniel Lesden introduced Rave Podcast as his regular mix series. One year later, in November 2012, Rave Podcast became a monthly broadcast on Progressive Psy channel of Digitally Imported radio[21]. It was mainly focused on Psychedelic music at first, and over the past years featured guest mixes from artists like Astral Projection, Vini Vici, Mindwave, Beat Bizarre, Ovnimoon, Flowjob, Sonic Species, and more credible artists.[22]
On September 2018, Daniel Lesden took a break[23] from hosting Rave Podcast, and returned to his duty half a year later[24] with a new format, focusing on Progressive and Techno to reflect his new music direction as an artist.
From now on, Rave Podcast is broadcast every second Friday of each month on Progressive channel of Digitally Imported radio, and also available as a podcast on iTunes, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Spotify playlist.[25]
