Gerald Malke (5 December 1963 – 1 September 2016),[1] known professionally as Gary D, was a German trance/hardstyle producer and DJ, known for the trance compilations D.Trance.
It wasn't until 1988 when Gary D. started to get more involved with electronic such as, Techno and House, which in the same year he released his first single "Ecstasy" under alias "Acid Syndrome".
Under Bonzai, Gary released the two hard trance singles "Kinetic Pressure" and "Overload".
In late 1995, he and two others from PIAS Recordings Germany came up with an idea to create a trance compilation, which came out to be "D.Trance", which grew into a big success.
In 2001, Gary took a different direction with his career, and started to release more techno, and adopted hardstyle kind of music to his DJ sets.
