South African-born and Barcelona-based, Daniella da Silva brings a unique emotional depth to her blend of industrial rawness, moving synths, and infectious rhythms. Describing her sets as “a beautiful slap
in the face” she makes audiences smile, cry, and dance all at once, always with love and energy at the core.

From Berlin’s cult HÖR club to major stages at Free Your Mind Festival and ULTRA in Peru and Chile, Daniella leaves a lasting mark behind the decks. Her passion for sound naturally led her to production, creating
hard techno tracks full of nuance, released on labels like Suaara, ART.143, and Reckless.

Daniella’s musical journey began with deep and Afro house, before a transformative rave experience set her on the path to becoming a versatile, crowd-connecting DJ. She has since played South African events like Truth and Carfax, toured India, performed at ADE’s Verknipt, and established her unique voice in Berlin.

Once inspired by icons like Sven Väth, Freddy K, and Jeff Mills, Daniella da Silva now stands alongside them, building a devoted fanbase and shaping the hard techno scene from the front.
