A Música em Portugal: O que os Músicos Portugueses Precisam Saber para ter Sucesso. E-book. Formato PDF Dan Van Casteele   -  Narcissus.Me, 2015  - 

A música portuguesa apresenta uma história relevante e significativa, tal como a história de Portugal. No entanto, podemos verificar em tempos atuais uma importância exacerbada dada pelos portugueses, e permitida por quem detém maior responsabilidade neste processo, a países sem tradição significativa, como é o caso dos Estados Unidos.A Influência americana, sem dúvida, tem sido determinante nas mudanças que a música tem atravessado em Portugal, e todos os novos músicos, mantendo-se atentos às novas tendências, procuram, sem uma reflexão saudável, seguir o que permite maior lucro e mais reputação.O mesmo tem sucedido em festivais europeus, em que Portugal, além de ser o único a nunca vencer tais competições, destaca-se unicamente pela similaridade que procura apresentar face ás tendências já existentes no continente americano.Por outro lado, quando um produtor de música de dança pretende alcançar o top internacional, dizemos que o DJ é português, mas na verdade todas as músicas tocadas que apresentam vozes de cantores estão no Idioma Inglês. Por vezes, uma ou outra, em português, é tocada timidamente, no final dos espetáculos, quando o Idioma já pouco importa e o orgulho nacional não pode ser ferido.A situação apresenta-se mais complexa ainda, quando verificamos que os mais famosos têm primeiro que se tornar bem sucedidos fora de seu País, ao contrário do que acontece, por exemplo, no Brasil.Não querendo fazer um relato nostálgico a um passado que não mais se coaduna com o presente, tal como, de resto, é a tendência portuguesa ainda hoje, quando se discute música, esta obra pretende, pelo contrário, apresentar uma reflexão o mais abrangente possível ao que é, e deveria, ser a música Portuguesa, bem como retratar a identidade perdida, e muitas vezes irreconhecível, que esta peculiaridade musical possuí.

Anyone Can DJ: An autobiography about the power of decisions. E-book. Formato PDF Dan Van Casteele   -  Narcissus.Me, 2015  - 

There are some key-points, that most DJs would like to know before their first performances. In this book, I reveal them, while sowing what makes the obvious difference between a successful DJ and one that isn’t.During my very rapid ascension into international popularity, I was hated by many, because they couldn’t understand how this was possible for me, and they thought that I was being lucky. In fact, it’s easy to hate someone that is lucky every single time, but also naive and stupid to feel that way. A smart person would wonder what I know that nobody else, with years in music, can understand. A smart person, would buy this book and learn it. But an even smarter person, wouldn’t hate or judge me, but instead improve from what is already known and described here. That’s why this book can change the whole career of those that are still starting in music, by helping them guarantee their path to success. And I openly share these years of secrecy with who is willing to learn them and ready to accept them.
