Dan Piu

As a child, Dan Piu's favorite toys were cassette tapes. Influenced early on by his older sister's passion for disco music, his love for soulful dance music took shape long before he entered a club. In 1987, visits to Zurich's iconic Flamingo and The Club sparked a lifelong fascination for house and electronic music and marked the beginning of an ever growing vinyl collection that today exceeds 17'000 records.
From 1990 onwards, Dan began deejaying in clubs across Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. Inspired by the creative freedom of a local resident DJ, he stepped into music production in 1991 and founded the labels No Acting Vibes and Motomusic. His deep affinity for analog equipment and textured soundscapes quickly earned his productions a reputation for warmth, depth, and timeless quality. In 2006, he founded deepArtSounds as a podcast platform dedicated to showcasing local DJs. In 2011, deepArtSounds evolved into a vinyl label focused on deep and soulful house music by international artists, alongside his own productions as Allstarr Motomusic.
