Daniel Sampson on SoundBetter

Looking for mixing or production-engineering in the world of Electronic music? I am an Electronic music artist and songwriter/producer who has charted on Beatport, been featured by Spotify and has over 2 million streams across platforms between three main musical projects. I'd love to work with you! Click the "Contact" button and let's get to work!

Welcome to my SoundBetter page! My name is Daniel, and I have been writing and producing music for almost 20 years.

In that time, I have seen releases under the artist pseudonyms Tecnosine, Sam Cydan and Cendryma and have released music on Future Sound of Egypt, RazNitzan Music, UV Music (Pattern and Noir included), PURRFECTION and on my label Cydana Sounds. My material has charted in the Beatport Trance Top 20 and the Beatport Progressive House Top 15. I have also been featured in Spotify Editorial playlists such as "Positive Flow," and to date my Tecnosine project has garnered over 2 million streams across platforms.

Nailing a memorable, Dancefloor certified, and timeless song has been a longtime love of mine for the whole time I have written music. Once I started my Progressive House label Cydana Sounds, I knew I wanted to help others with outside of that project. Thus, I am re-launching my SoundBetter page! Please get in touch and together we can make something special!

PLEASE NOTE: My skill set is mainly in the writing, production and mixing of music; NOT mastering. If asked, I will direct you to other providers who I have worked with and endorse on SoundBetter who can provide that service.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Interview with Daniel Sampson

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Fred Miller! Work with the guy! Trust me!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Trance, Ambient and Downtempo, Progressive and Melodic House
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: The musicality which I believe is one of the most important parts of a good song.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Have a vision for your project that you think I can achieve with my production. References, similar sounds to what you want from me and some basic ideas will absolutely ensure you get the best result from me.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started producing/writing my own music in 2007 with mostly pre-made loops and samples with Sony's ACID Music Studio, and slowly built up the experience designing my own sounds and melodies once I got FL Studio. I went to school for music and that's where the bulk of my knowledge and experience came from, and I credit it with advancing my production sound ten-fold. I started releasing with Trance labels in 2017, but now I am write music of all forms.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Tecnosine: relaxing, chill and music for sleep. Sam Cydan: Emotional, energetic and uplifting music for the festival or the club. Cendryma: Music for sunsets, deep dives, summer day festivals, and those super extended sets that Hernan Cattaneo loves to do!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I have found my strongest skill to be the songwriting when it comes to writing the music itself.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Charlie Puth, Sean Tyas, Armin van Buuren, Alan Morris, Claude Debussy, Jim Brickman.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My absolute favorite project I've ever worked on in a school setting was my college Capstone project which was my final requirement for graduation with my BM. The project was an album of music inspired by Pop music of the 1980s and I am very proud of the end result. I was the clarinetist, producer, and mixing engineer of the entire project, and I saved up enough money to have a professional analog mastering engineer master the project to completion, which I was very impressed with.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: The music for my label Cydana Sounds!
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Physical analog gear is something I've always dreamed of having one day.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Macbook Pro, Komplete Audio 2, M-Audio Keyboard, M-Audio BX5s, and a computer monitor!
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I am all in-the-box, using FL Studio. I hope to start collecting more gear at some point, but I am very comfortable working with music within a DAW.
