STUFF I DO
The music and people I am working with now.
SOLO
A defining force in Budapest’s contemporary music scene, Daniel Varga blends jazz, folk, and modern beat-based sounds with fearless innovation. As a core member of New Fossils, he has helped shape a fresh wave of Hungarian jazz, earning critical acclaim and collaborating with renowned artists. With Mordái, he reimagines traditional folk through raw, progressive energy.
Beyond these projects, Daniel’s versatility and open-minded approach have led him to work across genres, from jazz and hip-hop to experimental beats and orchestral compositions. His collaborations with artists like Lusta Geri, Co Lee, DDT, and Babapiros highlight his adaptability and deep musical curiosity. Whether shaping intricate saxophone lines, co-producing unique sounds, or arranging for larger ensembles, his work reflects a constant drive to explore and innovate.
co lee
Co Lee is one of the leading voices of Hungary’s new hip-hop generation, known for his distinctive lyricism, emotional depth, and genre-defying sound. Blending introspective storytelling with contemporary rap, he has established himself as one of the most exciting and influential artists on the Hungarian music scene. His acclaimed releases and captivating stage presence have earned him a dedicated and rapidly growing audience. Beyond his solo performances, Co Lee’s live band elevates the music to an entirely new level, transforming his songs into a powerful, dynamic concert experience. The combination of live instrumentation, raw energy, and artistic precision creates a unique show that resonates far beyond traditional hip-hop. Whether performing at clubs, festivals, or concert halls, Co Lee and his band deliver an unforgettable live act that continues to redefine the boundaries of Hungarian rap.
MORDÁI
Mordái, a band rooted in reinterpretations of folk songs, emerged from the fusion of 1970s Hungarian progressive folk—pioneered by names like Muzsikás, Sebő, and Kolinda—alongside classic Anglo-Saxon guitar music and jazz. Their debut album attracted considerable attention, with the group describing its tone as evoking "the dark spirit of outlaws." This release also sparked international interest, leading to performances at key events, including Eurosonic, an essential stepping stone in the European music scene. Between albums, the band expanded to a six-piece, evolving its distinctive sound with the addition of two saxophones.
DDT
DDT is an innovative ensemble known for its fusion of welded beats, live grooves, and psychedelic synths, creating a sound that is both experimental and deeply groove-driven. The group was born from spontaneous jam sessions among friends, where they explored an organic mix of programmed loops, saxophone, bass, and effects. With the addition of guest drummer Levi Boros on key tracks, DDT brings a rich texture and improvisational spirit to their music.
Their debut album, Curved Air and Microchips, showcases playful, metaphor-laden titles and a genre-blending style that draws on elements of hyperwave and nods to influential artists. With upcoming collaborations, new releases, and plans to relaunch their live jam series, DDT is quickly establishing itself as a bold force in contemporary music.
DANIEL ARON
Well… this is me. This is my solo project, where I mostly record various instruments, produce, design, and shape these ideas into songs. It’s my indie side.
I’m also active as a collaborator and co-producer under this name. I'd say you’ll find the more pop and dreamy stuff here. Well… that’s probably not entirely true, since my work is a bit all over the place, but here I’ve tried to categorize it and put a label on it.
